Romano Hits the Payout Desk

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

David Pecheur raised to 37,000 from under the gun and was called by the button. Jay Romano three-bet shoved all in for 485,000 in the big blind and Pecheur came over the top for 1,014,000. The button thought for a couple of minutes before finally folding.

David Pecheur: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Jay Romano: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Romano was fighting an uphill battle and the flop of {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} provided no help. The {8-Hearts} on the turn left Romano drawing dead to the {2-Diamonds} on the river and he was eliminated.

Cajelais Takes it on the Turn

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Erik Cajelais was heads up on the flop of {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and his opponent checked before he bet out 40,000 into the already built pot of roughly 70,000 and the opponent called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and the player first to act checked, Cajelais then fired out another bet of 85,000 and his opponent's cards quickly hit the muck.

Sick Cooler First Hand After Dinner Break

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

After a few preflop raises, three players got all of their chips in the middle in the very first hand back from dinner break. "What, did they set up the deck like this or something?" Louis Hillman asked rhetorically as he stood up from his seat.

Joshua Greenberg: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Louis Hillman: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Hillman was at risk for around 500,000 and the third player had around 300,000. Greenberg had both players covered and the odds were in his favor. The board ran out {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{a-Spades} and Greenberg needed his set of queens on the flop in order to eliminate both of his opponents.
