Herm Sends Lehmanski to the Rail

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

A short-stacked Max Lehmanski had most of his chips in by raising the pot and Mark Herm in the big blind gave him the spin. Lehmanski called for fewer than five full big blinds.

Max Lehmanski: {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Mark Herm: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts}

On the board of {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Lehmanski rivered the straight, but it was no good as Herm had already turned the full house. Herm, however, was about to take chips out of his stack before realizing he had indeed the full house to deal the final blow to Lehmanski.

Shack-Harris Gets a Fold From Ingram

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

With what looked like about 140,000 chips already in the pot and the board reading {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Brandon Shack-Harris bet 45,000 into his lone opponent, Joey Ingram, who was in the hijack. Ingram called.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and both players checked.

The {3-Diamonds} hit the river and Shack-Harris bet 200,000. Ingram folded after brief consideration and Shack-Harris took the pot.

Bohlman Jams the Flop

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Matt Giannetti raised to 55,000 and Scott Bohlman in the small blind three-bet the pot out of the small blind. Giannetti carefully counted his stack and called. The flop came {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Bohlman bet the pot instantly. Giannetti folded as quickly.

The shortest stack on their table is Max Lehmanski with just five big blinds.

Morgenstern Jams Into Klein

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Robert Paddock raised to 75,000 first to act and Loren Klein called in late position, as did Anton Morgenstern in the big blind. On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, all three players checked and the {4-Spades} turn was also checked by Morgenstern and Paddock. Klein bet 150,000 and Morgenstern check-raised all in for 500,000.

Paddock folded instantly, while Klein gave it some thought.

"Do you have spades also?" Morgenstern asked and some chat ensued.

Eventually, Klein folded with the words, "Nice hand."

Small Pot for Kozlov

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Loren Klein limped in from the button and Mike Leah did so from the small blind. Martin Kozlov checked from the big blind. The flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} was checked and Kozlov bet the {K-Hearts} turn for 20,000, and only Klein called. Both checked the {J-Clubs} river and Kozlov showed {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to win the pot.

Current chip leader at the table is William Kopp who was moved over after his previous table broke.

Banks Stacks Guerra

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Lautaro Guerra
Lautaro Guerra

There was a substantial pile of about 450,000 chips in the middle and the board read {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} when we got to the table. Lautaro Guerra was on the button and got the last of his stack in against LaDarren Banks, who was in the big blind and had him covered.

Lautaro Guerra: {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
LaDarren Banks: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Banks was ahead with jacks and fours and Guerra needed help from the river to survive. The final card was the {3-Spades} which missed both players entirely, so Banks took the pot to eliminate Guerra.

Down to 31 Players

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Once again two players departed at almost the same time and those were Daniel Harmetz and Bogdan Capitan.

William Kopp had raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Harmetz pushed from the small blind for what appeared to be 127,000. Out of the big blind. Aaron Duczak reraised the pot for 410,000 with some chips behind, and that forced out Kopp.

Daniel Harmetz: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Aaron Duczak: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and that sent Harmetz to the rail in 32nd place. Capitan's stack was integrated into the growing tower of Loren Klein, who moved up to more than 1.4 million.
