Vrooman Triples Before Break

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Ken Kao opened to 44,000 from the hijack and Allan Vrooman called his remaining 42,000 from the cutoff. Jordan Young stuck around from the small blind and the flop fell {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Action checked to Kao who moved all in and Young folded. The remaining two players peeled over their hands, Kao showed {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for kings up and Vrooman tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for aces up.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} and Vrooman now had his opponent drawing dead to the {6-Spades} on the river.

Duong Busts a Player

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The small blind was all in preflop and Jack Duong was in early position and was bounty hunting, moving all in for over 200,000. It folded all the way around and the cards were turned over.

Jack Duong: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
All-in player: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} with the all-in player calling for a seven on the river to make his straight. It didn't come and he was eliminated shortly before the three-table redraw.

Peterson Sends Bazeley to the Payout Desk

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jake Bazeley open-shipped around 50,000 from early position and Jack Peterson made the call from the small blind. The players then flipped over their hands and Bazeley was at risk.

Jack Peterson: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Jake Bazeley: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board flop came down {j-}{9-}{8-} and Bazeley moved ahead with his nines. The turn reverted that as the {a-Clubs} hit the felt and the river was a blank. Bazeley was eliminated and Peterson added another bounty chip to his stack.

Will Berry
Will Berry

Will Berry got his last 60,000 chips in before the flop against Spencer Baker, who had him covered by a wide margin.

Will Berry: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Spencer Baker: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Baker had the preflop edge with the higher pocket pair and Berry needed to improve to preserve his tournament life. The board ran out {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Baker made quad jacks to take the pot and collect Berry's bounty chip.

Lowery Chips Up to Nearly a Million

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

It folded to the player in the small blind who moved all in for just under 120,000. Lynn Lowery was in the big blind and snap-called with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. His opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Lowery celebrated the king in the window of a {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop and although there was a minor sweat on the {10-Spades} turn giving his opponent a gutshot, the river was the {4-Clubs} and Lowery sent his opponent to the rail.

Also at his table is former chipleader Jens Thomsen who has lost a chunk of his stack mid-way through Level 23.
