Wheel For Bronshtein; $3,862 for Saphier

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 4,500 ante

Bjorn Geissert started building the pot that was to be Melissa Saphier's last with an initial raise to 7,000. Saphier called and her neighbour Yuval Bronshtein upped it to 27,000. Geissert let his hand go but Saphier made the call. Both players drew one. Bronshtein quickly moved all in when Saphier checked (he easily covered her stack). She called and was shown a hand that couldn't be beaten (only tied) - the wheel {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. She flashed her hand only briefly; there was a jack in it.

In the battle of blinds, Ryan Riess was all in for under 30,000, trying to outdraw Matthew Smith. Riess took two and Smith patted.

Smith: {10-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{3-}
Riess: {7-}{6-}{2-}

Riess peeled the first card and it was a {j-}, meaning Riess was out before looking at his second card. "You win. Good luck," Riess said before walking away.

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 4,500 ante

James Chen opened from the cutoff and small blind Dave Alfa matched his 9,000-raise. They both discarded one and Alfa checked to Chen who fired 14,000. Alfa slid in calling chips and Chen claimed the pot after showing {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} as Alfa tapped the felt.

James Chen "Can't Resist" the Three-Bet

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 3,600 ante

Andy Hwang opened for 7,000. James Chen pushed out a 26,000 stack of yellows and the decision was back on Hwang. About 10 seconds of decision making later, Hwang announced, "All in." Chen snap-folded, showing two pair, nines and eights.

"I commend you for showing," said Craig Chait.

"I can't resist," said Chen.

"I can't believe that would be good at showdown."

Thomas Last Eliminated Before Redraw

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 3,600 ante

Richard Thomas moved all in under the gun for 19,100. Jameson Painter called (115,000 behind), then button Ajay Chabra moved all-in, putting Painter to the question for his tournament life. Painter folded. Thomas now went through the ringer, rubbing his eyes, shaking his head and considering his draw decision.

"God, dude. It's only the second time I've ever played this game. You wouldn't do that with a jack. Nine six?" He looked skywards then drew one.

Chabra tabled {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Thomas {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}. He too made a nine with his fifth card, but Chabra's was better.

Thomas Can't Call

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 3,600 ante

Richard Thomas made it 7,000 in the middle position and Frank Kassela three-bet from the small blind, making it 21,200.

"I call," Thomas said and Kassela stood pat. Thomas needed to change one.

Kassela threw in two 25,000-value chips, enough to cover Thomas' remaining stack.

Thomas peeled his hand and said: "Goddamn. Nice hand, Frank." Then he folded.

In the meantime, Scott Abrams busted to Yuval Bronshtein on the neighboring table.

Alfa's Draw Doesn't Work Out

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 3,600 ante

It was another 50,000 pot for Andy Hwang as Dave Alfa raised to 5,500 and Hwang three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind. Alfa made the call and drew one while Hwang stayed pat. Neither player elected to put any more chips in the pot and Hwang tabled {9-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}. Alfa flashed a jack and mucked.
