Tuhrim Takes Two

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

An early position player opened to 70,000, and Richard Tuhrim called from the hijack. Players in the cutoff and big blind also called, going four ways to a {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop.

The action checked to the cutoff, who bet 90,000 and got two folds, with Tuhrim calling. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn, and Tuhrim put out a big bet for 355,000. The cutoff, with about 700,000 left behind, folded.

On the following hand, Tuhrim raised to 70,000 from middle position, got a call from the big blind, and took down the small pot with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} at showdown, after both players checked all three streets.

Erik Cajelais

The under-the-gun player raised to 65,000, Erik Cajelais called next to act, the cutoff, button and both blinds came along as well.

The flop got checked around by all six players on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and on the turn {2-Clubs} the blinds and the under-the-gun player checked to Cajelais who fired out 210,000. The cutoff and button called and the other three players threw their cards in the muck.

The river was the {a-Spades} and all three players checked. Cajelais tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens and scooped the pot when the other two discarded their cards.

Belser Pushes his Opponent Off Broadway

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With the pot already brewed to over 1,300,000 the board read {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, It was heads-up and Charles Belser's opponent checked to him. Belser moved all in for 1,195,000 and his opponent thought about it for a while.

The clock was eventually called and with a few seconds remaining his opponent decided to fold and tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut-straight. Belser had a sigh of relief and showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for two pair queens and threes.

Smith Eliminates Franklin

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Tom Franklin
Tom Franklin

On the turn with the board reading {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} and roughly 400,000 in the middle, Mark Smith bet out 400,000 and "Captain" Tom Franklin was in the tank. After mulling it over for a while he eventually put in his 425,000 total and Smith called the extra 25,000.

Mark Smith: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Tom Franklin: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Franklin was in bad shape needing to catch an ace or a jack on the river and the {7-Spades} wasn't either of those sending him to the payout desk.

Kwak's Pocket Queens Hold

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action folded to Keun Kwak in the cutoff and he raised to 85,000, the button instantly reraised to 250,000, the small blind and big blind folded and the action was back to Kwak. Kwak took his time and said, "You are definitely picking on me." After another five seconds, he moved all of his chips into the middle and the button snap-called.

Keun Kwak: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Button: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

They were off to the races and the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}, for Kwak to stay alive in the tournament.
