Lopez Wins a Blind-versus-Blind Clash

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Emmanuel Lopez was in the small blind, pushing all in when we arrived at the table. He had 1,115,000 total and Nipun Java had a few big blinds more. Java tanked for a bit and eventually made the call.

Lopez: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Java: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Lopez was slightly ahead but Java's outs were live. The {Q-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, however, slimmed his chances to a gutter or running trips. He would be drawing dead on the turn, instead, as the {A-Clubs} gave Lopez a boat and the {Q-Diamonds} river made things official.

Java continued with fewer than five bigs and busted shortly afterwards.

Double Elimination Boosts Shevelev

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

There was a four-way all in between Dmitri Shevelev, two short stacks and a bigger stack. Shevelev was all in for over a million with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} from the other big stack, and {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The turn {10-Diamonds} gave Shevelev's opponent an open-ended straight draw. But the river {5-Hearts} was a brick and Shevelev more than doubled up, whilst sending two players to the rail.

Adams Doubles Up

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

A player moved all in from under the gun and Frank Adams moved all in for 385,000 from the next position. The remaining players folded.

Frank Adams: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Adams' opponent was left with just one big blind behind.

Triple Up for Gerecke

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mark Gerecke was all in for his last 230,000, facing off against two players. One of them was Peter Eichhardt who had both of his rivals covered as the second shortest stack had 250,000 total. Gerecke showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and needed to prevail against {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Eichhardt's {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The flop of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} pushed him closer to the triple and Gerecke shouted, "Yes!" when he saw the seven hit the felt.

The remaining runout of {4-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} confirmed Gerecke's victory while Eichhardt was downed to 325,000.

Reichard Can't Crack Kings

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Following two folds from early positions, Josh Reichard opened to 90,000. An all in from the cutoff followed and the player in the big blind was interested in the count. It was 280,000 and he decided to fold after a while. Reichard immediately threw in two calling chips but he learnt that he ran into a monster.

Reichard was drawing slim with {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} against {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and he couldn't catch a piece of the {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} board. Reichard was left with just over 1 million in chips.

Gossett Wins a Big Pot with Treys

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Under the gun, Josh Reichard opened to 75,000 and three players came along. Joel Gossett was in position and he certainly liked the action he saw on the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop.

Reichard continued for 160,000 and a player in middle position raised to 375,000. Gossett, who caught a set of threes with {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, three-bet jammed for 785,000. Reichard let his hand go but the other player called, trailing with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

The {10-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river were safe for Gossett who suddenly found himself maneuvering over 1.9 million in chips.
