Graner Plays it Slow

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

A player opened for a raise in early position to 105,000, and Andrew Oh three-bet to 250,000 in the cutoff. On the button, Stephen Graner made it a cold four-bet to 450,000, and action folded to Oh, who called immediately.

Both players checked it down to fifth street, with the community having come {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Oh checked once more, and he called a bet of 325,000. Graner quickly flipped {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for aces full, and Oh mucked his hand.

Orez Mokedi raised it up preflop from the hijack to 130,000 and Bradley Anderson three-bet to 260,000 on his left in the cutoff. Mokedi proceeded to four-bet shove and Anderson took little time calling him.

Mokedi: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Anderson: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Mokedi wasn't able to connect, giving Anderson the pot. Mokedi finished in 17th place and earned $63,321 for his effort.

Livingston Backdoors Teng to Survive

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Matt Livingston shoved all in for 660,000 after Andrew Teng opened on the button. Andrew Dick folded his big blind, and Teng called.

Teng: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Livingston: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Livingston let out a disappointed sound after {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flopped, but the {9-Spades} turn kept things interesting. The {5-Spades} river completed Livingston's flush, and he doubled through.

Christopher Keller Eliminated in 18th Place ($63,321)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Christopher Keller - 18th Place
Christopher Keller - 18th Place

Micheal Stembera moved all in for his last 680,000 and it was folded to Christopher Keller in the big blind who made the call. Stembera had {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Keller {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. The flop and turn were good for Keller as it came {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and only a jack or king would save Stembera from being eliminated. The river was the {K-Spades} and Stembera scored the double up and Keller was left with 140,000.

Those chips would go all in the next hand and Keller's {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} would fall to Jason Johnson's {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} when a king would flop.

Larry Samet Eliminated in 19th Place ($50,614)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Larry Samet
Larry Samet

Patrick Chan shipped all in under the gun, and Larry Samet shoved for less after Maurice Hawkins folded. Everyone else mucked.

Chan: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Samet: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"That's not what I wanted to see," Samet said.

Probably also what he didn't want to hear: Hawkins said he mucked king-queen as well.

No help arrived on the {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Spades} community, and the final 18 runners are redrawing.

Dick Loses Some But Gets it Back

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Andrew Dick had seen about two million chips disappear from his stack but he recently got them back from one time chip leader Jonathan Dimmig and is creeping close to the nine million chip mark. Dimmig opened the action for 105,000 and Dick raised it up to 225,000. Dimmig said "how much you playing" and cracked a smile, as everyone at the table knew Dick had the chip lead. "Someone had to do that joke," Dimmig said as he made the call.

The flop came {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Dick led out for 150,000 and was called by Dimmig. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Dick bet again, this time for 400,000. Dimmig raised it to 800,000 and Dick didn't waste much time before making the call. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Dick checked. Dimmig bet 800,000 and Dick quickly called. Dimmig turned over air... {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Dick had a legitimate hand {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set.
