Hachem Folds To Down Bet, Hartmann Eliminated

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Joe Hachem raised to 18,000 from middle position and action folded back to Nathan Gamble in the big blind. Gamble put in a pot-sized three-bet to 58,000 and Hachem asked for confirmation of the amount, thinking for a few moments before making the call.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Gamble bet 25,000. Hachem again asked for confirmation and went into the tank. Two minutes later, he pushed his cards forward for the dealer to muck them and Gamble took down the pot.

Meanwhile, Tony Hartmann was eliminated on an adjacent table, bringing the tournament close to condensing to five full tables of eight-handed play.

"Sorry Bud, Next Time"

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Chase Steely was all in again and at risk for 50,000, once again against Michael McKenna. Steely held the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and McKenna went with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

The board came down {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, which gave Steely the scoop with aces and fours. However, neither McKenna nor Steely seemed to notice it at first glance, and Steely even tapped the table in defeat. Leif Force, the dealer, and several others quickly pointed out that Steely indeed held the winner, and McKenna quickly apologized. The table had a good laugh about it.

"Sorry bud, next time!" grinned Force. "Sorry I doubled you up!" Matt Livingston added.

Aldridge First to Fall

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

In the previous hand, Chase Steely raised the maximum of 28,000 on the button, leaving himself with just 18,000 behind. Michael McKenna called from the big blind and chose to bet first on {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Steely was seemingly unpleased with the situation and gave it ample thought before deciding to fold.

In the subsequent hand, Ken Aldridge raised to 25,000 from the hijack, Steely called all in from the cutoff, and McKenna also called from the small blind. The flop was {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and McKenna checked. Aldridge shoved all in for his remaining 24,000 and McKenna called it off.

Chase Steely: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Ken Aldridge: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Michael McKenna: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The turn and river didn't bring a low and kept Steely's hand ahead for the high, who tripled up. Aldridge lost the side pot to McKenna and was eliminated.

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Nathan Gamble opened to 20,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Michael Mizrachi who defended his big blind. The two saw a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Mizrachi checked. Gamble fired a continuation-bet of 12,000 and received a call.

Mizrachi checked once more and Gamble put in a bet of 37,000.
