Shebell Triples Up

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Darren Shebell: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} / {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {A-Clubs}
Julien Martini: {X-}{X-} / {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / {X-}
George Alexander: {X-}{X-} / {9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} / {X-}

Darren Shebell was all in and at risk on fifth for exactly four bets and was called by George Alexander and Julien Martini. "Try to bluff me out of that one guys," he said and stood up from his chair. Alexander and Martini checked down sixth and seventh, and Shebell was already celebrating with more chatter. Upon showdown he said "I have rolled up threes" and showed {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} followed up by the {A-Clubs}.

The dealer let out a dry "duct tape for seat two please" before shipping over the pot to Shebell.

Campbell With Miracle Double

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Robert Campbell
Robert Campbell

Alan Myerson and Ronnie Brown have been eliminated and Robert Campbell may very well have been the next casualty to reduce the field further. However, he doubled in spectacular fashion and then doubled a second time. Both times, it was George Alexander that had to suffer.

Robert Campbell: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} / {J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / {8-Hearts}
George Alexander: {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} / {5-Spades}

Two jacks were gone according to table chat by Scott Cole, and Robert Campbell instead got there with running eights to improve to a full house, while Alexander's straight on sixth was no good anymore. It was a pure one-outer for Campbell to remain in contention.

Robert Campbell: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} / {2-Hearts}
George Alexander: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} / {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Spades} / {4-Spades}

Campbell was then all in after he paired his eight on sixth, which caused plenty of laughter at the table. Alexander was pained and sighed, "I could be drawing dead already," before calling and showing his pair of sixes. Campbell had nines and eights, and Alexander bricked off on seventh to allow Campbell to double once more.

Weiss Stays Afloat

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Jameson Painter had the {2-Clubs} and Roy Weiss completed. Action folded to Painter who raised to put Weiss all in for 3,700 total.

Roy Weiss: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} / {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades} / {2-Hearts}
Jameson Painter: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} / {6-Clubs}

Weiss had a big draw on fourth street and made two high pairs to beat Painter's buried nines. Weiss doubled to just over 10,000 but he'll still have a mountain to climb to catch up with the tournament average.

Barens Busts to Campbell

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Christopher Barens: {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Robert Campbell: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} / {10-Spades}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Katherine Fleck: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {X-}

Christopher Barens was all in on fifth with a pair of sixes showing and Robert Campbell raised. Katherine Fleck called to create a small side pot. Campbell and Fleck checked sixth and a bet of Campbell followed on seventh. "That's not good," Barens said. Fleck needed some time and elected to fold.

Campbell turned over his flush and Barens flashed a straight to join the rail in 29th place.

Campbell Makes Queens Up

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Robert Campbell: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} / {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Darren Shebell: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}

In a five-way completed pot, Robert Campbell bet on fourth street and all of his opponents called. He fired again on fifth where his board was showing three consecutive cards. Only Darren Shebell matched the bid and he snap-called two more bets on sixth and seventh, respectively.

"Queens up," Campbell said.

"You had queens in the hole?" Shebell asked but Campbell remained quiet and started stacking his chips.

Farhad Mobassery: {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts} / {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Within quick succession, Mark Radoja and Ashton Griffin were eliminated from the same table. Griffin ended up all in and at risk in a three-way all in against Chris Ferguson and Farhad Mobassery. Griffin was all in after fourth and saw a raise and a call behind.

Mobassery bet fifth and Ferguson check-called before sixth and seventh were checked down.

Griffin ended up with just a pair of queens, while Ferguson had kings and eights to score the knockout.

Tushnet Coolered by Hourani

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

With action on seventh street, Joel Tushnet was betting his remaining chips into a big pot and Elias Hourani snapped him off.

"I call, I have a straight," Hourani said and quickly shuffled his holdings in order to expose the king-high straight.

Tushnet sighed and opened his hole cards before he departed, revealing aces up.

Joel Tushnet: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Elias Hourani: {10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{X-}
