Bansal Keeps Building

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Edward Oconnell on the button pushed his last chips in the middle for around 75,000 and Raghav Bansal in the big blind made the call.

Edward Oconnell: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Raghav Bansal: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Oconnell was in bad shape to survive. The board came {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to give Bansal the better pair, and Oconnell is out. Bansal now has a comfortable stack of 670,000.

Stanley Lee raised from under the gun and Scott Baumstein moved all in for 251,000 next to act. It folded back to Lee who called turning over {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Baumstein showed {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop was no help to Baumstein but the {q-Spades} hit the turn, enabling Baumstein to pair his queen and take the lead. The {2-Diamonds} completed the board, and Baumstein survived.

Wheeler Eliminated

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Joshua Gordon on the button opened to 23,000 and Jason Wheeler in the big blind moved all in. Gordon called and both players tabled their cards.

With {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Wheeler was in bad shape to survive, facing {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} in Gordon's hand. There was a six on the flop to help Wheeler, but the turn was a king and the river a four, and with no further improvement Wheeler made his way to the exit.

Palacios Doubles Through Freedman

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Marco Palacios just informed the PokerNews Live Reporting team that he had recently doubled.

The hand began with Palacios tossing out a single green chip and announcing an opening raise to 25,000 from under the gun with {J-}{J-}. Wendy Freedman was on the button, didn't notice the open, and threw out 21,000, which bound her to call.

The flop came {J-}{4-}{2-} and both players checked.

The turn was an {A-}, Palacios bet 50,000, and Freedman called.

A {Q-} fell on the river and Palacios jammed for 225,000. Freedman called with a covering stack and tabled {A-}{Q-} for top two pair only to see Palacios table his flopped set to take the pot for a full double-up.
