Feldman Takes Three-Quarters

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Nathan Gamble in the hijack who raised to 27,000. Joel Feldman three-bet to around 90,000 and Gamble put in enough chips as a four-bet to put Feldman at risk for an effective 176,000. Feldman made the call.

Joel Feldman: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Nathan Gamble: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}, giving both players a wheel and Feldman a seven-high straight to win the high, taking three-fourths of the pot to add to his stack.

Vitch Continues Downward Trajectory

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Chris Vitch
Chris Vitch

No fewer than five players saw a {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop together and everyone checked to Chris Vitch on the button, who bet 35,000. Matt Livingston folded the big blind, but Michael McKenna, Viacheslav Zhukov, and Leif Force all called.

On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Vitch bet 105,000 after three checks and received quick folds from McKenna and Zhukov. Force stuck around with a rapid call.

The river was the {10-Spades} and both players checked. Force showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and while his low draw and nut flush draw didn't come in he did have a rivered straight for the high hand. Vitch, needing some time to part with his hand, mucked it to leave the full pot to Force.

With the board reading {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Randy Ohel bet 75,000 from the big blind and Timothy Flanders called on the button. The river was the {8-Spades} and Ohel downsized to 65,000, which Flanders called as well.

Ohel showed him the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a ten-high straight, Flanders flashed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a lower straight and mucked his hand.

Who's Playing Who?

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Ryan Miller limped in from middle position and Darryll Fish called behind him on the button. Stephen Johnson then completed his small blind and Nick Schulman checked his option from the big blind, taking action four ways to a flop of {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}. All four players checked.

The turn came {9-Clubs} and Johnson bet 30,000. Schulman then raised to 130,000, the size of the pot. Miller got out of the way quickly and action was then on Fish, who went into the tank for over two minutes before letting his hand go. It was then Johnson's turn to go into the tank.

"I don't know if I wanted you in or not," Johnson said to Fish.

Fish laughed, responding "I honestly don't know if I wanted me in or not either."

Johnson spent about two minutes thinking as well and after close to a five-minute sweat, Schulman took down the pot without seeing another card.

"Why did you bet that ****?!" asked Fish after the hand.

"I don't know!" exclaimed Johnson.

Sill Eliminated in Three-Way Clash, Flanders Soars

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Timothy Flanders
Timothy Flanders

On a {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, the stacks of three players flew in the middle. John Sill, as the shortest stack, was all in for 67,000. Timothy Flanders was all in for 248,000, and Kim Kallman had both of them covered.

John Sill: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Timothy Flanders: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Kim Kallman: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Sill had the lead with top set, while Kallman had top two along with the nut flush draw to pick up the sizable side pot and draw live to the main. However, it would be Flanders that would end up best after the {10-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river, giving him a straight and 7-6-3-2-A low to scoop.

Shortly before, both Jeffrey Landherr and Timothy Vukson were knocked out at adjacent tables.

After clinging on to a short stack for a while, John Esposito finally had to wave the white flag and part with his few remaining scraps.

Esposito's cards were already face-down in the muck on a {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs} board, while Matt Vengrin stacked up the chips with {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} open in front of him.
