Kassela Snap-Calls Bronshtein's Second Bet

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yuval Bronshtein raised to 13,000 which was raised by big blind Frank Kassela to 37,500. Bonshtein called. Kassela stayed pat and Bronshtein drew a card. Kassela checked, Bronshtein bet 55,000 and Kassela called immediately but found his ten no good against Bronshtein's {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Geissert Scores a Huge Double

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Bjorn Geissert
Bjorn Geissert

Bjorn Geissert had made it 12,000 from the first position before his neighbor Jerry Wong re-raised to 40,000. Geissert called and patted while Wong needed one.

Geissert checked and Wong declared he was all in, covering Geissert's 112,500. Geissert spent around two minutes tanking and then he put his chips towards the middle.

"Good call, you got it," Wong immediately said, showing what looked like a paired hand.

Geissert turned up {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} and moved up to around 315,000.

Short Stacked Gathy Making Moves

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Gathy moved in for 32,000 (his last level having seen his stack diminish), called by Matthew Smith, who drew one while Gathy stood pat, showing {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Smith had picked up a jack and Gathy survived. The next hand he moved all in again (this time for 78,000), uncalled.

Galen Hall Eliminated in 12th Place ($4,731)

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

Galen Hall raised to 13,000 from the cutoff and Frank Kassela three-bet to 40,000 in the small blind. Hall slid forward all but 500 of his chips, saying: "I want to keep this one."

Kassela, however, immediately said he was all in and Hall laughed: "F#$k." Then he threw in the final chip.

Kassela peeled one with {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} and Hall patted with {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}.

"Nine's no good?" Kassela observed and Hall nodded: "Nine's no good."

Kassela, however, turned up a {3-} to finish with eighty-six and eliminate Hall in 12th place.

Chait Beats Tabb with "Ten Nine Seven Six Smooth"

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Craig Chait
Craig Chait

Craig Chait raised in the cutoff to 12,000 called by small blind Steven Tabb. Both players drew one card, then Tabb led out for 18,000. Chait made the call.

"Ten," said Tabb, showing {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.
"Ten what?" asked Chait (the light is such that glare makes is hard for him to see certain parts of the table)
"Ten nine," said Tabb.
"Ten nine what?"
"Ten nine seven."
"Ten nine seven what?"
"Ten nine seven six."

It came down to Tabb's {4-} and Chait's {2-} fifth cards to decide the pot. Next table over Frank Kassela said, "Ten nine seven six smooth..." to which Chait replied, "The smoothest."

Tabb then checked, Chait bet and Tabb made the call with {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. It was good: Chait announced, "Pair," and showed deuces.

James Chen open-shoved for around 95,000 from the cutoff and Jerry Wong looked him up from the button.

Chen drew one and Wong stood pat, showing {j-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} right away.

Chen had a solid chance with {9-}{6-}{4-}{3-} but he paired up a three and that sealed the end of his tournament run.
