Jewell Makes Cohen Fold

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

Kurt Jewell raised to 34,000 from the under the gun position. The player in seat one called, and Michael Cohen called from the big blind.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and after Cohen checked, Jewell continued with a bet of 42,000. The player in seat one folded, but Cohen came along for the ride.

The {A-Diamonds} turn made both players check and the dealer opened up the {9-Clubs} river.

Cohen led this time with a bet of 52,000, only to see Jewell raise it up to 278,000. That was enough to make Cohen fold and Jewell started stacking.

Top Pair is Enough for Feiger

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

Josh Feiger and his opponent were heads up on the {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and there was already about 200,000 in the main pot. The player led out with a bet of 100,000, Feiger raised to 225,000 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} and the player moved all in, covering Feiger who had 487,000 behind. After thinking it over for a few moments Feiger flicked in a single chip and announced "call."

His opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes and Feiger's {10-Spades}{9-Spades} was best. The {j-Hearts} hit the river and Feiger's pair of tens was enough to earn him the double up and vault him near the top of the chip counts.

Vornicu Doubles Through Ha

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

Action folded around to Valentin Vornicu on the button and he shoved for 168,000. Thai Ha called from the big blind with the larger of the two stacks by a wide margin.

Valentin Vornicu: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Thai Ha: {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Vornicu had the lead and Ha needed help from the deck to knock him out. After the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} Vornicu's hand was still best, so he took the pot to double though Ha.

Foxen Takes One Down

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

Alex Foxen just eliminated another player. The player in middle position open raised all-in for 332,000 and when the action got to Foxen he asked how much it was, and how much the players in the blinds were playing.

Foxen pushed all-in himself and the rest of the players in the hand folded their cards.

Foxen: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Middle position: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop was an exciting one when {5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{A-Spades} came down. The {3-Diamonds} turn and {8-Diamonds} river completed the board and Foxen took down the pot with a pair of aces.

Wilson Chan Earns Opponent's Ire

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

With the board reading {4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, Wilson Chan put out a bet of 120,000. Chan's opponent went into the tank and started asking Chan whether he had a monster.

After a while, the player called the bet and Chan opened up {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to win the pot and unleash a tirade by his opponent.

"You got a ten? You have got to be f*****g kidding me! You think you got lucky? Of course you got lucky! How can you raise me with that on the flop?"

An unperturbed Chan quietly stacked his chips and is now closing in on the million chip mark.

Duta Felted

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

A player in middle position raised to 35,000 and Florian Duta three-bet shoved from the hijack. The middle-position player called to put Duta at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Florian Duta: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Duta's pair was second best and he needed to improve in order to double up. The {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs} board changed nothing, so Duta's opponent took the pot to end his run in this tournament.
