Yunis Doubles

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On the {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} board, Nick Yunis checked, and Jean-Jacques Zeitoun bet 150,000. Yunis called, and the river was the {6-Spades} to pair the board. After Yunis checked with 303,000 behind, Zeitoun moved all in and had him covered. Yunis tanked long and hard, before eventually making the call. Zeitoun showed the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for queen high, and Yunis showed the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for two pair and the winning hand.

Sandler Runs Into Pocket Rockets

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

"All in and a call Table 381," we heard a dealer yell. We made our way over to discover Ian Sandler all in for his last 190,000 and in bad shape against Adam Lamphere.

Sandler: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Lamphere: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Sandler's best shot at survival was to find some spades, but the {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop only contained one. The {3-Diamonds} turn took away the backdoor flush possibility for Sandler, but it did give him a wheel draw to a five for the chop. Unfortunately for him, it didn't come in as the {A-Hearts} peeled off on the river. Sandler will take $38,634 back to New York for his 260th-place finish.

Cole's Aces Send Bax Packing

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Kelaerin Bax was in middle position and announced an all in raise for 129,000. Action came around to David Tuthill in the small blind who moved forward a call. William Cole was in the big blind and he announced a re-raise all in for his tournament life of 633,000. Action was suddenly back on Tuthill to make a significant call.

Tuthill thought for right around four minutes before opting to ditch his hand. With that, the cards of the active players were turned over.

Bax: {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Cole: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Cole's pocket aces were in the lead and stayed that way as the community cards came down {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Cole scored the elimination and boosted his stack to 1.02 million.

Applegate Doubles Up

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From middle position Kelaerin Bax raised and Thomas Applegate moved all in from the button for 285,000. The action folded back to Bax and he made the call.

Bax: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Applegate: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Applegate doubled up, leaving Bax with very little chips.

Hastings Tries the Bluff

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jeffrey Chang raised to 26,000 in early position, Brian Hastings called out of the small blind, and both players checked on a flop of {4-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The turn was the {7-Spades}, Hastings led out for 75,000, and Chang called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, Hastings bombed out 175,000, and Chang tank-called. Hastings revealed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair of nines, and Chang had to study the two cards before tabling {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a superior pair.

Van Nguyen Busts Tieri

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From the button it was Joseph Tieri who moved all in for 116,000 after which Anh Van Nguyen called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the showdown went as follows:

Van Nguyen: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Tieri: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Tieri hit the rail while Van Nguyen stacked up some more chips. Van Nguyen finished 46th in the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event and he will be looking to improve on that big run this weekend.

Zaichenko Rivers Waxman

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On a board of {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} with roughly 220,000 in the middle, Andrey Zaichenko led out for 75,000 only to have Matt Waxman raise to 185,000.

Zaichenko made the call, and after Waxman tabled his {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, the Russian tabled his {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to see him scoop the pot and move to roughly 1.72 million as Waxman slipped to 1.44 million in chips.
