Steinman Eliminates Jones

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ian Steinman regained the chips he had previously lost when his {k-}{k-} held up against the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of Ben Jones in a preflop all in.

The run out provided a little bit of tension when it came {10-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} but it was not enough to save Jones who sent the remainder of his stack over to Steinman.

Wong Picks up Chunky Pot

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A large pot of already at least 55,000 was building on the turn on a board that read {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Ryan Olisar was in the big blind and he chekced it over to Ralph Wong in the cutoff.

Wong thought for a few moments before betting 18,000. Olisar paused briefly before deciding to lay down his hand.

"Nice hand" said tablemate Shaun Deeb as Wong pulled in the pot to add to his large stack.

Wong Finishes off Olisar

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mere minutes after their previous big encounter Ralph Wong and Ryan Olisar were at it again. A large pot was in the middle on the river with the board reading {q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Wong bet enough to put Olisar all in, who looked at the ceiling in anguish for a few moments before tossing in a one chip call.

Wong showed the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for broadway which bested Olisar's hand who briefly flipped up his hand which only one player at the table saw and said it was the {a-}{10-Hearts}.

A Small Pot for Ho

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Peters raised to 2,700 from the cutoff and was called by Maria Ho in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs} on which Ho check-called the 2,400 continuation-bet of Peters.

They then both checked through the {5-Clubs} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river for Ho to take the pot down with {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for the flopped two pair.

Konnikova's Shove Forces Fold

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Maria Konnikova, sitting in middle position, was involved in a pot with Paul-Francois Tedeschi, who was in the cutoff.

Konnikova led out with a bet of 3,500 on a flop that read {3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} which Tedeschi called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Konnikova bet 12,000 and Tedeschi called again, although this time with some trepidation.

The river was the {8-Spades} and Konnikova waited a moment before moving all in for her remaining 14,000.

Tedeschi looked tortured over the decision, playing with his chips and cards and several times it looked as though he was going to call or fold but did not actually determine any action. Eventually, another player at the table called the clock and the floor came over to start the thirty-second countdown. Tedeschi still looked torn over the decision as the clock reached zero and he tossed his cards into the muck one by one.

Hofler Chippin Up

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The board read {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with around 27,000 in the middle already.

Jordan Spurling bet 18,000 from the big blind and both Mario Hofler (cutoff) and Brett Bader (button) called.

The river completed the board with the {q-Clubs}, Spurling barreled another bet over the line, now for 50,000, which only Hofler called. Spurling tabled {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for the missed straight draw and was beaten by Hofler's {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} who had flopped trip eights.

Riess Triples Up After Getting Short

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Ryan Riess had the all-in button in front of him in the small blind and was at risk for his last 9,800. Keith Ferrera had a bet of 23,000 in front of him in mid-position and was sitting in the tank as Yue Du had also shoved from late position for 67,800. Ferrera tanked for a while but opted to let the hand go.

Ryan Riess: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Yue Du: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades} to give Riess top pair.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} to give Du some extra outs to eliminate the former Main Event champion as he picked up the gutshot to a wheel but the {9-Hearts} provided no danger to Riess as he more than tripled.
