Pollock Still In It

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

While Allan Le lost the fight with his short stack, Josh Pollock was more fortunate and chopped to boost his short stack.

He got it in with {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} against the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} of Matthew Schreiber and the board came {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to give him three quarters of the pot.

Pollock was all in once more with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} of Chris Amaral and the {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} board ensured the split pot.

Ashby Wins a Big One

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Richard Ashby
Richard Ashby

"Someone's going to win a big one," murmured someone at the table as seven players saw a {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop. It checked to Richard Ashby who bet, with Jim Collopy raising in the next position. It folded back to Ashby who called.

The turn {k-Hearts} was checked by both players. The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Ashby bet and Collopy raised. Ashby thought before calling.

Jim Collopy: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Richard Ashby: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Collopy put his hands to his head in disbelief as Ashby took down the pot.

Schwartz Scoops Three-Way All In

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Allan Le raised and picked up two callers including Delmiro Toledo and Jake Schwartz in the blinds. On the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades} turn, the action escalated as Toledo was all in for 50,000 and Schwartz for 56,000. Le made the call to put two players at risk in the following showdown:

Delmiro Toledo: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Jake Schwartz: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Allan Le: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}

The {q-Spades} fell on the river and Schwartz essentially tripled up, while Toledo was eliminated. Ylon Schwartz also ran out of chips shortly after on a different table.

On a board of {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Miller's two pair with nines and treys scooped the pot and Friedman was eliminated.

Higgs on a Heater

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Sam Higgs
Sam Higgs

Sam Higgs bet throughout a board of {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and forced folds from Mike Wattel and John Racener to get his stack up to around 445,000. That was the start of a rush for the Aussie, as he continued with plenty of aggression.

In the next hand he defended out of the small blind against a raise by Philip Sternheimer and check-called on the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. Higgs check-raised the {4-Hearts} turn and Sternheimer called before Higgs bet the {q-Diamonds} river as well. Sternheimer called all in and was shown the {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a flush and a low. Sternheimer only had {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and was eliminated.

Higgs took on Wattel and Racener once more and this time it was just Racener that called a river bet on {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Higgs rolled over {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a full house and scored the next pot.

One hand later, Chris Bjorin was all in after four-way action to the {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} turn as Andrey Zaichenko had led. Higgs called in the cutoff and also called another bet by Zaichenko on the {j-Hearts} river.

Zaichenko {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}) and Bjorin {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} chopped the low and Higgs took the high portion with {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.
