Gurney-Goldman Bets All Streets

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Steven Gurney-Goldman opened to 700 and got a call from Calvin Anderson in the blinds.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Anderson check-called a 1,200 continuation bet. On the {4-Clubs} turn, it was the same again, with Anderson check-calling Gurney-Goldman's barrel.

The final card out was the {j-Hearts} and once again Anderson checked. Gurney-Goldman bet 4,500 and Anderson took some time before making the call. Gurney-Goldman tabled {a-Spades}{4-Spades} and Anderson sent his cards into the muck.

No More Stack for Rack

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The flop read {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} and Michael Rack, who had eliminated Max Steinberg in the first hand of the day, was all-in and the clock was called on Zixiao Zhang. The floor was already counting down and the rest of the table had already bagged their chips as they would be moved to the Amazon room. Zhang called.

Michael Rack: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Zixiao Zhang: {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The rest of the board was completed with the {10-Diamonds} on the turn and the {4-Spades} on the river to send Rack away from the tournament area for the rest of the Main Event.

Disciplined Lay Down by Somerville

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jason Somerville was involved in a pot where they went to a multi-way flop. The flop came down {3-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and as it checked to Somerville he put in 2,100. Only the player in the big blind was interested and called.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Somerville. The Twitch caster now bet 5,100 and his opponent countered that with a raise to 12,000.

Somerville ended up showing {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} as he folded and his opponent took down the pot.
