No-Limit Hold'em

Lyle Berman had already seen himself survive two all-in preflop situations in what was an eventful round of No-Limit Hold'em, He chopped the first and doubled up on the second. The third time was his elimination charm as he three-bet all in from the big blind to a cutoff raise from Bryce Yockey, who quickly called him.

"You call?" Berman was overheard saying. Yockey confirmed.

Bryce Yockey: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Lyle Berman: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Berman's tournament life lasted through the runout and no longer as the cards were dealt {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, giving Yockey queens full as Berman missed his draw for Broadway to stay alive.

With Berman's elimination, the tournament field is down to 14 players, just two eliminations from making it into the money.

No-Limit Hold'em

Lyle Berman shoved all in preflop from the hijack for 291,000 and Phil Hui called him from the small blind.

Lyle Berman: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Phil Hui: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Berman had a safe runout of {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and secured the double up, giving himself some maneuverability at a table where he still finds himself easily the shortest stack.

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Dario Sammartino opened to 50,000 from the button. Lyle Berman was in the small blind and announced he was all in. Sammartino asked for a count, which totaled 206,000, and called.

"I've only looked at one!" Berman exclaimed.

"Ace?" Sammartino asked. Berman confirmed. "I have an ace too!" said Sammartino. The two turned over their hands.

Dario Sammartino: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Lyle Berman: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The two both found themseles with the same hand and the board ran out {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts}, securing the chop by the flop.

On the very next hand, Berman shoved all in from the button and got it through as well, further adding to his stack.

Esposito Gets One Through

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

After winning the previous pot with a continuation-bet on the flop, Josh Arieh raised again from the cutoff to 50,000. John Esposito went all in for 346,000 from the small blind.

Arieh thought for a bit and eventually asked the dealer to pull 50,000 in from each player in order to see the amount left to call.

"You'll never miss it," Esposito said to Arieh with a slight smile.

"You don't think?" said Arieh.

"Well, two-point-five..." said Esposito as he raised his hand to gesture towards Arieh's stack.

"It could be two-point-nine!" Arieh responded.

"I couldn't think of a better guy to give it to," Esposito said. "Although, it's more fun when I'm here."

Arieh responded, "I enjoy your company," and sent his cards to the muck as Esposito added a significant chunk of chips to his stack.
