Wilkerson Doubles Through Ohel

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Randy Ohel opened from early position with a raise to 35,000 and action folded around to Dylan Wilkerson in the big blind. As he was thinking about his decision, Ohel told him he had all three options on the table: fold, shove, or stop and go. Wilkerson commented on the fact and Ohel responded affirming that the two options in Wilkerson's mind were to fold or to stop and go.

"Or stop and stop!" both Ohel and tablemate Scott Bohlman added simultaneously as they burst out in laughter. Wilkerson called.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Wilkerson checked. Ohel bet 20,000 and Wilkerson called.

"Oh, did I leave you one thousand?" Ohel asked Wilkerson. Wilkerson confirmed.

The turn came {j-Clubs} and Wilkerson shoved for his last one-sixteenth of a big blind. Ohel called, announcing he had flopped a straight.

Randy Ohel: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Dylan Wilkerson: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Though Ohel did in fact flop a straight, Wilkerson had outs to a flush as well as a straight to chop. The turn fell {j-Clubs}, securing his flush and the river came {8-Spades} afterwards as Wilkerson secured the double to stay alive, further continuing hand-for-hand play on the bubble.

Wilkerson Doubles on Bubble

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Dylan Wilkerson was all in for his final crumbs and Ryan Miller called him one seat over. It took a while for the action on one of the outer tables to complete but after a long tank and fold from Thiago Macedo, the cards finally went on their backs.

Dylan Wilkerson: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Ryan Miller: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Miller already flipped his cards face-down towards the muck when the flop came {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}, giving Wilkerson a boat. The turn {4-Clubs} and river {7-Hearts} didn't change that and Wilkerson scooped up the pot.

McKenna Takes From Vitch on Bubble

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Action was on Chris Vitch from the small blind after he had checked a board of {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Michael McKenna put in a bet of 200,000 from early position with bets of 35,000, 40,000, and 50,000 in front of each player from previous streets.

Vitch thought about his decision for a bit and ultimately made the call.

McKenna announced a straight with a four-three, tabling {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Vitch looked back at his hand to make sure he was unable to beat either before mucking it as McKenna added to his stack, having eclipsed the one-point-five million chip mark before the money has been reached.

Andrey Zaichenko opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from middle position. Bryce Yockey was in the small blind and three-bet him to 112,000. With the hands on all three other tables finished, the spotlight was on Zaichenko momentarily as he thought about his decision for around a minute.

Eventually, he let his hand go and Yockey took down the pot as the tournament director instructed the dealers to deal another hand.

Chabra Chipping Up

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Action has still slowed down to a crawl and big pots are far in between. A small one was played on table #410, where Ajay Chabra bet 50,000 on a {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} river.

Timothy Flanders pondered for a while before sliding in a call but had to muck when Chabra showed him {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a flush.

Vengrin Forces Fold, Keeps Chipping Up

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Matt Vengrin was recently seen having chipped up to over 600,000. In a recent hand, he was on the button and opened to 50,000. Bryce Yockey defended his big blind and the flop came {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Yockey led out for 40,000 and Vengrin called.

The turn came {9-Clubs} and Yockey checked. Vengrin cut out a bet of 60,000 into four stacks of three orange chips worth 5,000 each. By the time the fourth stack was cut, Yockey was in the process of mucking and Vengrin took down the pot as hand-for-hand play on the bubble continues slowly but surely.
