Fleck Defies the Odds to Stay Alive

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Katherine Fleck
Katherine Fleck

Katherine Fleck completed and Jay Kwon raised. Fleck re-raised and Kwon called. Kwon bet on fourth street and Fleck raised all in. Kwon called.

Katherine Fleck: {2-}{8-} / {a-}{8-}{j-}{2-} / {x-}
Jay Kwon: {a-}{3-} / {5-}{4-}{5-}{k-} / {x-}

Kwon had four to a wheel going into fourth street, whereas Fleck had already paired. However, on the next two draws Kwon would pair and draw a king while Fleck would draw a jack and make two pair.

Fleck completed a jack-nine low with a {9-} on seventh street, and Kwon was drawing live. However, he drew a {a-} to double pair himself and Fleck completed the great escape.

"Just when you think you've escaped, it drags you back in," said Fleck.

"That's Razz!" said someone on the rail.

Jeanne David: {x-}{x-}/{8-}{3-}{5-}{6-}/{x-}
Julien Martini: {x-}{x-}/{J-}{A-}{6-}{A-}/{x-}

On fourth street David bet and she was called by Martini and Kwon. On fifth street, David bet again and she was called by Martini and Kwon. On sixth, David bet a third time and was called by Martini and Kwon.

On seventh, David slowed down with a check. Martini exercised his option to bet and he was called by Kwon and David.

"I got there," Martini said showing his {2-}{4-}{5-} for a six low. David and Kwon both quickly mucked so Martini took down this big pot right before the last break of the night.

Schertzer Turns 800 Chips at the Start of the Day into a Cash

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ivan Schertzer
Ivan Schertzer

Ivan Schertzer had been slowly chipping down since players returned from dinner break, and had survived until the three-table redraw.

He got his chips all-in on third street against Kevin Iacofano and the boards ran out as follows, with Schertzer getting a lock on the hand from sixth street.

Ivan Schertzer: {5-}{9-} / {2-}{a-}{8-}{k-} / {j-}
Kevin Iacofano: {2-}{a-} / {q-}{3-}{3-}{10-} / {6-}

A short while later Schertzer was all in again against Kyle Montgomery.

Ivan Schertzer: {7-}{9-} / {5-}{4-}{3-}{k-} / {x-}
Kyle Montgomery: {3-}{2-} / {6-}{q-}{a-}{7-} / {x-}

By seventh street Schertzer had made a nine, but was behind to the seven-six of Montgomery. Montgomery drew a {9-} and Schertzer needed an ace or a deuce to make a better seven. Unfortunately for him it was a {q-} and he was eliminated.

Schertzer came into the day with just 800 chips, which was the least of anyone left in the tournament. With four antes he laddered his way up the tournament to reach what was at the start of the day an unlikely position of 23rd. He takes home $3,496.

Talbot Eliminated Bringing the Field to Three Tables

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Parker Talbot completed with his {6-Clubs} and Kevin Iacofano called. Julien Martini made it two bets and Talbot called all in for less. Iacofano called as well.

"Alright," Talbot said. "Little ones for me and big ones for them."

Parker Talbot: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{J-}{10-}{2-}/{x-}
Julien Martini: {x-}{x-}/{A-}{K-}{3-}{K-}/{x-}
Kevin Iacofano: {x-}{x-}/{A-}{5-}{Q-}{4-}/{x-}

On fourth street Iacofano bet and Martini called. On fifth, Iacofano bet again and Martini called again. On sixth Iacofano continued to bet and Martini called once more.

On seventh, both players checked. Iacofano showed down his {8-}{6-}{Q-} for an eight-six low. while Martini showed {7-}{4-}{A-} for a king low.

"Are you live?" Iacofano asked Talbot.

"Yep," he replied sweating his last card. "Fuck!"

Talbot revealed his {A-}{9-}{5-} and it was no good as he completed a nine-low which wasn't enough to keep him alive.
