Berkey Gets a Four-Bet Through

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

In what is arguably the toughest table remaining in the tournament, one of the big notables has already been eliminated. Mike Del Vecchio, Jeremy Ausmus, Matt Berkey, Anthony Spinella, and Aymon Hata all drew Table #420 after Day 2, with Hata hitting the rail early today.

Just now the action folded to Del Vecchio in the cutoff who raised to 22,000. Francois Goulet put in a three-bet to 60,000 on the button and Matt Berkey pushed in a four-bet to 138,000 from the big blind. Del Vecchio quickly folded but Goulet had a bigger decision to make. He asked for a count and thought for a minute before eventually folding as well.

This table will be one to keep an eye on throughout the day as it will be one of the last tables to break.

Swan and Bazeley Flip for Stacks

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

The action folded around to Jake Bazeley on the button who raised it up to 22,000. Adam Swan was in the small blind and three-bet shoved all in for a little over 120,000. The big blind folded and Bazeley quickly called.

Adam Swan: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Jake Bazeley: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

It was a race situation but the flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} giving Swan two pair and the lead. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn nor the {5-Hearts} on the river were of any help to Bazeley who walked over to the payout desk to collect his winnings.

Patterson Runs Into Aces

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

After a series of preflop raises, Thomas Patterson found himself all in for a little over 200,000 holding {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, Olivier Nagel woke up with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, the only hand that put Patterson in trouble.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Nagel was still in the lead with his pocket aces. The turn brought the {a-Clubs} and Nagel locked up the win with a full house. Just to rub salt in the wound, the {k-Hearts} landed on the river to give Patterson a full house as well, but he was still sent to the payout desk.
