Harmetz Eliminates Lamb

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Ben Lamb got his last 150,000 or so in there from the big blind with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} but trailed the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts} of Dan Harmetz. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Spades}, so Harmetz flopped a flush for the win.

Nguyen Makes a Huge River-Raise

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Scotty Nguyen was out of position with {9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} on the table. He checked to Max Lehmanski who fired 80,000 into 136,000. Nguyen raised the maximum and the dealer informed him that it was 376,000.

Lehmanski studied the situation for about a minute and then opted to fold and continue with 480,000.

Sammartino Times Out

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Dario Sammartino was out of position in a blinds battle with Richard Lyndaker on {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Sammartino checked on the river and was facing a bet of 120,000. He went into the tank for several minutes and attempted to glean a read from staring at Lyndaker. It must not have been successful as the tanking continued until someone called a clock. With 30 seconds to go, Sammartino resumed staring at his foe, only tossing in his cards just as they were being declared dead.

Shack-Harris Forces a Fold from Makarov

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

From a middle position, Brandon Shack-Harris made it 32,000 and two players joined him to the flop as Mack Lee flatted on the button and Alexey Makarov came along from the big blind.

The {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop ceased fire but Shack-Harris tossed in a delayed c-bet on the {2-Hearts} turn, making it 42,000. Lee wasn't interested but Makarov called to see the river.

The {10-Diamonds} completed the board and Makarov checked again. Shack-Harris reached to his stack and moved a 20-tall tower of 5,000-value chips on the side. But he didn't use them and rather took a chunk of his green chips, firing 150,000. Makarov, who's been making his decisions rather patiently all day, folded very fast for his standards.

Giannetti Doubles on the River Against Kurshumi

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Two players limped in and Matt Giannetti raised to 86,000 on the button. Ardit Kurshumi potted in the small blind and Giannetti tossed in a reluctant call after some thought for his stack of 257,000. Kurshumi had the goods with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Giannetti needed help with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop brought some with a pair and a gutter. The {10-Diamonds} turn missed Giannetti but the {k-Clubs} river gave him a winning set.

Shack-Harris Isn't Greedy

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Scotty Nguyen bet 40,000 from the small blind into three players on {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Only Brandon Shack-Harris, in late position, called. Shack-Harris called another 120,000 on the {4-Spades} turn and another 200,000 on the {6-Hearts} river, the latter after some thought.

"Straight," Nguyen announced, tabling his {5-}{3-}.

Shack-Harris had it beat with {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for queens full.

"You let me get away with all that money, baby," Nguyen said.

"I'm not greedy," Shack-Harris responded.

Tsang Eliminates Wasserson in a Robust Pot

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Eric Wasserson
Eric Wasserson

Yan Shing Tsang raised to 42,000 in the cutoff and the action stopped at Eric Wasserson who raised the pot out of the big blind. Tsang matched the 134,000-raise and they went to the {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop.

Wasserson potted again, making it 276,000 and Tsang pushed all in, covering Wasserson's 400,000 or so. Wasserson put in the rest of his chips.

Tsang: {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Wasserson: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Tsang outflopped Wasserson as he hit two pair but Wasserson was still drawing very live. The {8-Diamonds} gave Tsang even better two pair.

The river was the {K-Hearts} and that was Wasserson's swan song in the tournament as he lost the over a 1 million pot to Tsang who boosted his stack to 1.6 million. Wasserson tapped the felt and then headed for the payouts.
