Fletcher Takes From Kaplan

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The ESPN camera crew swarmed around one of the corner tables and seizable pot had already built with the turn showing {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Jaime Kaplan bet 700,000 in the big blind, which Clayton Fletcher on the button called. The {A-Hearts} appeared on the river and both players opted to check.

Kaplan showed the {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a bluff and Fletcher won the pot with the {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. "That will shake up the table a bit," he added while raking in the pot.

Reard Shoves; Williams Very Short

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Joe Cada raised to 135,000 on the button and Alexandre Reard three-bet shoved around 1,700,000 from the small blind. The camera's rushed in but to no avail as Cada quickly folded.

At another table, Cory Williams paid off a river bet of 425,000 from Dan Wilson on an {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} board. Wilson tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for the rivered top-top and Williams mucked, leaving himself with a mere 400,000.

Lack Shoves on Haro to take a Big One

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

There was nearly 900,000 in the pot with the board showing {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on the turn. Randall Lack had a bet of 675,000 in front of him and action was back to Alexander Haro, his lone opponent. Haro took his time before cutting out a bet of 1,400,000.

Lack then thought for about a minute then moved all in for 3,665,000 total. Haro asked for a count and mulled over his decision for a bit.

"Ok," Haro said. "I guess I'll believe you."

Haro folded and Lack was able to take down the pot with no showdown, chipping up to nearly six million.

Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

Ricardo Souza raised to 125,000 on the button and Kelly Minkin three-bet to 385,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Souza four-bet all in putting Minkin to the test.

Minkin called for her tournament life pushing her 1,445,000 into the middle.

Ricardo Souza: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Kelly Minkin: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Minkin would have to flip well to stay alive and she did with the board running out {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} as she flashed her rail an 'OK' sign, before going over to tell them the good news.

Lavenburg Left Short after Tank-Folding to Yoon

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Brian Yoon three-bet an open raise from Michael Lavenburg and made it 480,000 to go out of the small blind, Lavenburg called and there were already more than a million in the middle to the {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Yoon made it 350,000 to go and Lavenburg called. Both players then opted to check through the {6-Diamonds} turn, and Yoon pushed all in after the {K-Spades} river.

Lavenburg had some 1.25 million behind and was sent into the think. After some five minutes, another player on the table eventually called the clock on him and Lavenburg was given 30 seconds to act. The time ran down without any decision and Lavenburg's hand was pulled into the muck.

Roger Lussier: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Maeroff Falls to Rivers

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

From under the gun, Jason Maeroff pushed all in the for the last 650,000 and was called by Ryan Rivers in the hijack.

Jason Maeroff: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Ryan Rivers: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

After the {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Maeroff used his one time and added "oh, I gotta stand up from my seat to get there," which he did. However, it wasn't meant to be with the {2-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river both being blanks to eliminate Maeroff.

Mor Doubles Through Barrell in a Cooler

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

All the money was in preflop between Ofir Mor and Mason Barrell. Mor was all in for 1,595,000 and he was at risk against Barrel who had the covering stack.

Ofir Mor: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Mason Barrell: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs} which gave no help to Barrell along the way. Mor spiked a set of aces on the river just for good measure and he doubled up to over three million chips.

Dominguez-Depaz First Elimination of Day 6

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Hector Dominguez-Depaz
Hector Dominguez-Depaz

On a {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, Randall Lack checked to pre-flop raiser Hector Dominguez-Depaz who bet 230,000. The third player in the hand Nghia Le called and Lack folded.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Dominguez-Depaz bet 525,000. Le called. The pair both checked the {8-Spades} river. Dominguez-Depaz showed {j-Spades}{k-Spades} for a busted straight draw while Le took down the pot with {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"I was thinking about folding the turn," said Le.

"You were calling a shove on the river though?" asked Dominguez-Depaz, and Le shook his head.

On the very next hand Alexander Haro raised to 130,000 from the cutoff and Dominguez-Depaz moved all in from the big blind for around 1,100,000. Haro called.

Hector Dominguez-Depaz: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Alexander Haro: {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

There was a sweat on the {j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop as it gave Haro a flush draw. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river {7-Clubs} completed Haro's flush and sent Dominguez-Depaz to the rail.
