Kobbeltvedt Crippled by Bradpiece

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Hold'em

Alexander Kobbeltvedt three-bet shoved in the cutoff but Jerome Bradpiece woke up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} in the big blind. Kobbeltvedt had only {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and he couldn't find any help on the {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board. Bradpiece had 46,500 in his stack and Kobbeltvedt had him slightly covered so he remained in the tournament, albeit crippled to 5,000 or so.

Moscati Gets It in Blind to Triple Up

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Hold'em

Jordan Polk made it 4,000 in middle position and a player in the cutoff three-bet to 12,000. Big blind Vincent Moscati had only 6,800 and he decided to put them in without peeling his cards. Polk called but folded to a bet on the {Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} turn.

Moscati opened his first card and it was a queen as he revealed the {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. He stood against {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and tripled up when the river bricked the over card and open-ender.

Trinh and Welbourne Chop

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Hold'em

From cutoff, Minh Trinh raised to 4,500 and his left-hand opponent Samuel Welbourne fired a huge three-bet, making it 17,900. Trinh stacked all of his remaining chips into one huge pile and slid them forward. Welbourne called and they turned up the same hand as Trinh showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Welbourne had {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} board confirmed the chop.

Bronshtein Binks Again

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

PLO

In a three-way pot, a player under the gun checked to Yuval Bronshtein on the flop of {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Bronshtein fired around 30,000 in middle position and Eoghan O'Dea shoved on the button. Bronshtein called and they turned their cards face up in a giant pot.

O'Dea: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Bronshtein: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

O'Dea was ahead but Bronshtein had a massive draw along with a top pair. While he failed to spike spades or a straight, the {2-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} gave Bronshtein a backdoor flush and he tackled O'Dea just before the second break of the day.
