Mock Stacks Brown

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Rob Brown
Rob Brown

Rob Brown shoved from under the gun for 580,000, David Mock moved all in over the top for 695,000 from the cutoff, and everyone else got out of the way.

Rob Brown: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
David Mock: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Mock had a commanding lead with his jacks and Brown needed to improve to survive. The board ran out {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, missing both players entirely, so Mock took the pot to end Brown's run in this event.

Level: 27

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 5,000

Boat Over Boat Over Boat

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Richard Dixon, Bryce McVay, and Michael Souza got stacks in the middle before the flop. Dixon had the largest, Souza had the second-largest, and McVay was the short stack.

Richard Dixon: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Bryce McVay: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Michael Souza: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

All three players held pocket pairs, but Souza had a commanding lead over both of his opponents. The {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop gave each player a set. The {5-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river meant each player had a boat, but Souza's was best, so he took the pot to double through Dixon and stack McVay.

Vampan Wins some Chips

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Vampan in the cutoff opened to 70,000, and both the small blind and Iaron Lightbourne in the big blind made the call.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and, after a check, both players in the blinds folded after Vampan continued for 125,000.

Souza Flops a Set to Triple Up

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Souza moved all in for 487,000 from early position. It folded around to Benjamin Miner in the small blind and he re-shoved all in for 730,000. Bryce McVay called from the big blind, putting both players at risk and the hands were shown.

Michael Souza: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Benjamin Miner: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Bryce McVay: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Miner was in great shape to score the knockout, but there was a nine in the window for Souza on the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop. The turn {8-Spades} and river {8-Diamonds} improved Souza to a full house and he more than tripled his stack.

Cheong Keeps Building

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

A player in the middle position opened to 75,000 and Fikret Kovac moved all in for 617,000. Joseph Cheong quickly made the call and the initial raiser folded.

Kovac: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Cheong: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board came {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Cheong eliminated Kovac.

Kern Stacks Taylor

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Arne Kern raised from middle position, Thomas Taylor moved his entire short stack into the middle from the small blind, and Kern called to put him at risk.

Arne Kern: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Thomas Taylor: {3-}{3-}

Kern had the preflop edge and Taylor needed to improve to preserve his tournament life. After the board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Kern's queens were still best, so he took the pot to end Taylor's run in this event.
