Loeser Opens Up a Lead

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Basil Yaiche raised it up on the button and Manig Loeser three-bet to 8,000. Yaiche called and the dealer spread the flop of {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Loeser checked to Yaiche who bet 6,500 and Loeser called.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and both players checked to the {q-Diamonds} on the river. Loeser checked again and Yaiche reluctantly checked it back. Loeser turned over {3-Spades}{2-Spades} for just a pair of threes but Yaiche was unable to beat it.

The flop was {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Boivin checked to Kornuth who bet 1,200. Boivin check-raised to 3,500, Kornuth reraised to 7,200, Boivin reraised all in with a covering stack and Kornuth called all in for 27,800.

The {5-Diamonds} turn gave Kornuth quads, rendering the {8-Diamonds} river moot.

Martini Doubles to Bring the Match Back to Even

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises before Julien Martini and Alex Epstein got all of their chips in the middle. Martini was the player at risk for 30,800 and the two players were off to the races.

Julien Martini: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Alex Epstein: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to give Martini the lead with a pair of aces. The {9-Clubs} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river were no help to Epstein who sent over a full double up.

Schulman Takes Down Maya

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Nick Schulman held the chip lead for much of his heads-up match and was waiting for the right opportunity to land the final blow. The action was on Schulman in the big blind who made it 5,200 and Ben Maya shipped all in for around 25,000. Schulman quickly called and was happy to be currently ahead.

Nick Schulman: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Ben Maya: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

The flop fell {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} to give both players a straight draw, Schulman's being the better one of course. The turn was the {3-Clubs} which took away some of Maya's outs and the {9-Spades} on the river sealed the deal as Schulman advanced to the next round.

Guilbert Defeats Ferguson

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Johan Guilbert had chipped up some already and then scored a crucial double to leave Chris Ferguson short. Guilbert opened to 3,000 in the previous level and Ferguson made it 10,000 to go. Guilbert shoved for 53,600 and Ferguson called.

Johan Guilbert: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Chris Ferguson: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Ferguson only needed to avoid an ace, but failed to do so on the {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board. He then jammed the next three hands to get back up to 20,000 before running out of chips.

In the final hand, Guilbert raised to 3,600 and Ferguson called. On the {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, Ferguson moved all in and Guilbert called.

Chris Ferguson: {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Johan Guilbert: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}

Ferguson picked up more outs on the {9-Hearts} turn, but the {k-Diamonds} river was a blank.
