Triple Up for Schwartz

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Jake Schwartz ended up all in against David "Bakes" Baker and Kyle Miaso, and he turned the nut straight with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on a board of {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Neither Miaso nor Baker were able to beat that and Schwartz tripled up his short stack.

All other current all in showdowns not far off the money bubble ended up in straight split pots.

Chris Vitch

A big pot was in progress between Chris Vitch and Shaun Deeb. There was a slew of 5,000 value chips in front of both players on a {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board and Vitch had checked to Deeb who had bet.

Vitch called and Deeb announced "High," showing {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a flopped full house.

Vitch double checked his hole cards before mucking.

McMaster Eliminated by Kelsall

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Derek McMaster
Derek McMaster

Derek McMaster was all in before the flop with Gary Bolden in the cutoff and Andrew Kelsall in the big blind as the remaining two players.

"There's more in the pot than in my stack," Mike Matusow remarked and the flop fell {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Kelsall bet and Bolden called, but another bet on the {10-Diamonds} turn by Kelsall forced a fold from Bolden.

Frankie O'Dell suspected aces in the hand of Kelsall and that was indeed the case, however, he had also turned a full house with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

"I need a queen," McMaster loudly announced to his rail when his {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} were exposed.

The {3-Diamonds} on the river brought no miracle two-outer and McMaster was eliminated before the money.

McMaster Escapes From Elimination

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Derek McMaster chopped with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} against the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of Mike Matusow when his flopped set of eights could not secure the double, as Matusow turned a flush and dodged a paired board.

Soon after, McMaster raised with 1,000 behind and Gary Bolden called in the big blind. The remaining chip went in after the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and McMaster turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Bolden only held {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the {10-Spades} turn and {4-Clubs} river were no threat for McMaster.

Phil Ivey has been managing a short stack since dinner and he was recently eliminated at the hands of Simeon Myers.

Getting his last two big bets in on a {4-}{q-}{10-}{a-} board, Ivey held top and bottom pair but Myers had made Broadway, and the river bricked to send the ten-time bracelet winner to the rail short of the money.

Esther Taylor
Esther Taylor

With the board showing {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Esther Taylor had already been all in for the last 12,000 with Andrew Yeh and Richard Ashby still in action. Yeh turned over {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} for trips jacks and an ace-four low, and Ashby had {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the same low.
