Jamie "DanBilzerian" Kerstetter Seeking 7th Cash of the Series

Level 2 : 30/60, 0 ante
Jamie Kerstetter
Jamie Kerstetter

If you don't follow poker pro and commentator Jamie Kerstetter on Twitter, you probably should. Her tweets @JamieKerstetter are legendary and among the funniest in the industry, so much so that she won "Twitter Personality of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Global Poker Awards earlier this year.

Since 2009, Kerstetter has amassed $682,314 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best $44,937 for finishing 12th in the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship Event. An attorney by trade, Kerstetter is well known for her commentary abilities. She's been featured alongside Lon McEachern and Norman Chad during ESPN broadcasts of the World Series of Poker, and currently co-hosts "The Rake" podcast alongside Marle Cordeiro. For several years she was also a co-host of the now-defunct LFG Podcast on PokerNews.

The New Jersey native actually resides in Las Vegas now, and she's on the bracelet grind. Thus far, she's earned six cashes in the online series, and if today goes according to plan she'll add a seventh.

"Dixon414": {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Robert "bustinballs" Kuhn: {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

"Dixon414" was ahead with their aces but the {k-Clubs} turn gave them a sweat as it gave Kuhn the club draw but the {k-Hearts} followed on the river securing their double-up.

"Tenacious.P" opened for 320 under the gun and "RCJDM2020" called from middle position. Allen "chainsaw" Kessler then moved all in for 2,507 from the button, both blinds folded, and "Tenacious.P" jammed over the top. "RCJDM2020" got out of the way.

"Tenacious.P": {k-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Allen "chainsaw" Kessler: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

It was a flip and Kessler was looking to hold to score the double. Unfortunately for him, the {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop paired his opponent. The {k-Diamonds} improved "Tenacious.P" to two pair while the {7-Spades} river would be the last card Kessler would see in Event #27.

Hellmuth Loses Flip Ending His Tournament

Level 16 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

Phil "Lumestackin" Hellmuth raised all in for 16,320 from late position and "Crushingly" isolated after they came over the top for 54,055 from the button.

"Crushingly": {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Phil "Lumestackin" Hellmuth: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

It was a classic with "Crushingly" in the lead and nothing changed after the {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop.

The {7-Clubs} turn left Hellmuth drawing to a king or a jack and the river fell paint but it was the {q-Diamonds} ending the his tournament.

Last Year's WSOP Main Event 8th-Place Finisher Flushed

Level 18 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante
Timothy Su
Timothy Su

Aaron "SagevSal" Henderson raised to 4,444 from the hijack and Timothy "timtams" Su, who finished in eighth place in last year's WSOP Main Event, three-bet all in for 13,992 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Henderson and he made the call.

Timothy "timtams" Su: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Aaron "SagevSal" Henderson: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Su was primed to double and paired his ace on the {j-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. However, Henderson also flopped a spade flush and straight draws. The {8-Hearts} turn was of no consequence, but the {8-Spades} river was as Henderson made his flush to send Su to the rail.
