"Good Call"

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Mike Dentale
Mike Dentale

Mike Dentale and Eric Sfez were heads up on the river with {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} out. Sfez had bet 8,500 on the river and Dentale needed some time to think. After mulling it over for a couple of minutes, he threw the chips in and turned over {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, but it was good against Sfez's {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

"Good call," said another player at the table as Dentale collected the chips.

Jacobson and Strelitz Trade Pots

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a board reading {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, Martin Jacobson checked from the big blind to Daniel Strelitz to his left. Strelitz bet 16,000 and Jacobson thought for a moment before making the call. The river was the {3-Spades} and Jacobson checked again. Strelitz bet 35,000 and Jacobson instantly called. Strelitz tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a full house and Jacobson mucked his cards.

In the next hand, the action folded to Jacobson in the small blind who shipped all in for 35,500. Strelitz asked for a count and then made the call. Jacobson tabled {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} which was in a dominating position against the {k-Spades}{8-Spades} of Strelitz.

The flop fell {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} and both players made a pair, Jacobson with the best one. Strelitz did pick up a flush draw to give Jacobson a bit of a sweat. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river improved Jacobson's hand as the {a-Clubs} hit the felt. Jacobson earned a double-up as the two players exchanged a couple of pots.

Lewis Eliminates Campo on the Bubble

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Romain Lewis from a previous event
Romain Lewis from a previous event

There was a raise to 6,500 from the cutoff and Romain Lewis called on the button along with Pablo Fernandez Campo in the small blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Campo checked to the cutoff who continued for 9,500. Lewis raised to 27,500 and Camp jammed all in for 159,500. The cutoff quickly folded and Lewis called just as quickly. The two hands remained face down until the action was completed at all of the other tables.

Romain Lewis: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Pablo Fernandez Campo: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Lewis flopped a set of sixes while Campo had a pair and a straight draw. The turn brought the {5-Spades} giving Lewis a full house and the river was the {4-Diamonds}. Campo made his straight but it was too little, too late as he was eliminated on the money bubble. The remaining 94 players are all guaranteed to take home at least $7,390.

Pyzara Sucks Out on the Bubble

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Kacper Pyzara raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Thomas Cannuli shoved all in for 43,900 from the cutoff. [Removed:172] flat-called on the button and the action was back on Pyzara. He thought for a minute and then pushed all in over the top for 222,800. Kramer instantly called and all three hands were tabled.

Kacper Pyzara: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
[Removed:172]: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Thomas Cannuli: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Pyzara picked up a flush draw after getting the chips in bad. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Pyzara binked his flush to take the lead. Cannuli still had a chance at the main pot after turning a set of nines, but the {k-Hearts} on the river was of no help. Cannuli was eliminated and Pyzara scored a massive double up by cracking Kramer's pocket aces.

Dutweiler Finally Falls to Spinella

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Anthony Spinella
Anthony Spinella

There has been some back and forth between these two players but that has all come to an end, in this tournament at least.

All the money went in preflop, with Tobias Dutweiler playing a 50,000 stack and he got it in versus big stack Anthony Spinella with the best of it.

Tobias Dutweiler: {a-}{q-}
Anthony Spinella: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop paired the ace for both players and there was a greater chance of a chop but Dutweiler was still a long way ahead. The {7-Clubs} turn gave three more cards for a chop but the {j-Hearts} was the worst news for the all-in player. He has to say goodbye just a few outside of the money.

The Bubble Looms

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

There are just a handful of players who will finish outside of the money. Play has slowed considerably and the sound of "clock" being called has increased to a frequency not yet seen here today.
