Newman's Two Pair Holds

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Stewart Newman bet 65,000 from early position after an {8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop hit the board. The button raised to about 190,000 and Newman shoved for 374,000. The player on the button called after about a minute of deliberation.

Newman: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Button: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Newman had been dominated but outflopped his opponent. The {7-Clubs} turn brought a mighty sweat, giving the button a flush draw, but a {q-Hearts} river was harmless for Newman.

Racener Busts Pilgrim

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in for 100,000 from under the gun with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and John Racener looked him up two seats over with the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The flop came king-high with two clubs, pairing Racener but giving Pilgrim a flush draw. Dwyte had several outs to survive but failed to improve when the dealer roller over blanks on the turn and river.

The Big Teng Theory

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Andrew Teng
Andrew Teng

Well, that escalated quickly… and heavily in favor of Andrew Teng.

He started the hand with 800,000 in chips and raised, then Matt Salsberg moved all in with {Q-}{Q-}. From one seat over, Joseph Salvaggi then reshoved for more than 600,000 with {A-}{K-}, and Teng snapped them both off with his {K-}{k-}. The second-best starting hand in no-limit hold'em held up, and Teng now has 1.75 million as two more players hit the rail.

Prendiville Busts Truong

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Gennady Shimelfarb opened for 30,000 in middle position, and Patrick Truong shoved from the cutoff for 111,000. Sean Prendiville made the call out of the big blind and Shimelfarb called as well. Prendiville bet out 125,000 on the {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop and Shimelfarb patted the table before mucking his hand.

Truong: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Prendiville: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

"That's not good for me," Truong said, seeing he needed runner-runner. The {4-Diamonds} turn left him drawing dead.

Burleson Doubles with Four-Bet Shove

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The player in the cutoff made a min-raise to 24k and the button player raised it up to 48k. Action folded to Colby Burleson in the big blind who four-bet all in with his 188k. The cutoff took little time folding and the button took a minute before calling and showing {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to Burleson's {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The pocket pair held through the {5-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board and Burleson was given renewed life in the tournament.

Prendiville vs. Racener

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Sean Prendiville opened the action with a raise to 26,000 from under the gun and one seat over, John Racener called. Everyone else got out of the way and we saw the {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Spades} flop. Prendiville bet 40,000 and Racener called, same applied for the {10-Hearts} turn when the Irish made it 80,000 to go.

On the {9-Diamonds} river, Prendiville grabbed chips and fired 140,000. That sent Racener into the tank and he wouldn't muck his cards for five minutes.

Mokedi Gets Value with Ace-High

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

After the community cards had come {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Orez Mokedi bet 76,000 out of the big blind. His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes before calling and Mokedi showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for ace-high. His opponent nodded his head and mucked.

David Randall Eliminated by John Moore

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

David Randall moved all in for his last 76,000 and was called by John Moore. Randall had {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and was ahead of the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} held by Moore. That changed quickly on the {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, however, which gave Moore a flush.

"You have an out," said Moore. He was correct as the {4-Spades} would give Randall a straight flush. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {8-Clubs} though and Randall's tournament came to an end. In the meantime, Moore eclipses the one million-chip mark.
