Ladies Don't Like Flowers

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Randal Flowers
Randal Flowers

After Jeff Cote opened the action with a raise to 6,000, Randal Flowers shoved all in for 58,000 from the button. Rachel Kranz, who had just a few more chips than that, then moved all in from the small blind and both the big blind and Cote got out of the way.

Flowers: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Kranz: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

"You'd better stand up," someone at the table told Kranz, clearly referencing something that had happened earlier in the day. Kranz listened and got up out of her chair, but she reversed course when the flop came down {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}!

Kranz had flopped trips and Flowers shot out of his chair and began collecting his things. Neither the {7-Hearts} turn nor {6-} river helped Flowers, and he was sent out the door in 41st place.

Too Many Outs for Gross

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Steve Gross just had Rene Angelil at risk on a {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop and pushed his opponent all in while holding the {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Angelil opted for the call with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and was able to dodge the combo draw on the {10-Clubs} turn and the {A-Hearts} river.

There is one further former bracelet winner left in the field as well in Simeon Naydenov.

Hillock Conquers the Hill; Linde Triples

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We missed the way the preflop action unfolded, but we do know that it resulted in a three-way all in. The short stack, Dylan Linde, was all in for 23,000, while Josh Hillock was all in 70,000 or so. Josh Hillock had them both covered.

Linde: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Hillock: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Hill: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Linde was in a great spot to triple, while Hill was in dire straits in the side pot. There would be no tomfoolery in this particular hand as the board ran out a clean {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Linde's aces held to give him a triple, while Hillock's jacks took down the sizable side pot to send Hill home in 42nd place.

Patti's Pocket Pair

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Frank Patti and an opponent to his direct right got into a mid-position preflop raising war that eventually saw the cards face up and Patti all in.

Patti: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {q-}{q-}

Patti was way ahead and had his opponent drawing to two outs. The flop {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} was not ideal for Patti as he had flopped a set but now his opponent had straight outs. Patti faded the turn {3-Diamonds} and river {5-Clubs} for the massive double up, launching him up among the top stacks in the room.

He's Got the Wright Stuff

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Christopher Bonita on the button and he raised to 7,000. Kevin Wright was next to act in the small blind and he three-bet to 16,500. The big blind folded, Bonita announced that he was all in and Wright snap-called off for 75,000.

Wright: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Bonita: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

"I don't want to look," Wright said as he got up out of his chair and turned his back. He then glanced over his shoulder, "But I want to look."

Wright was clearly nervous, but it was all for naught as the board ran out a clean {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Ship the double to Wright.

Double Up for Paniccia

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player opened from under the gun and it folded around to Henry Paniccia in the big blind. Paniccia shoved for 29,400 and was snap called by the UTG raiser putting Paniccia at risk.

Paniccia: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

As the cards were turned over Paniccia yelled out in disgust, but his tone quickly changed as the flop rolled out {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, giving him a flush draw. The turn {k-Clubs} left his opponent drawing dead and Paniccia raked in the pot after the {2-Diamonds} on the river.
