Somerville Set Up by Sylvia

Level 17 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jason Somerville
Jason Somerville

A series of preflop raises saw Jesse "MrJesseJames" Sylvia jam all in for 72,246 from the big blind and Jason "haderade" Somerville called off his 39,958 stack from the cutoff.

Jesse "MrJesseJames" Sylvia: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Jason "haderade" Somerville: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Somerville was behind holding two overs but things got sticky after the {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop gave Sylvia a set of eights.

The {j-Diamonds} turn did give Somerville life with flush and straight draws but the {9-Spades} paired the board on the river ending his tournament.

Ross "BlueTang" Gottlieb Looking For a Taste of WSOP Gold

Level 18 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante
Ross Gottlieb
Ross Gottlieb

Columbus, Ohio's Ross "BlueTang" Gottlieb recorded four cashes in last year's WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series, but it was one huge run that defined his series, and brought him agonizingly close to earning his first career WSOP Gold Bracelet.

In Event #8: $500 NLH Freezeout, Gottlieb found himself at a final table of absolute crushers, including Robert "bustinballs" Kuhn, Scott "miamicane" Davies, and Randy "StayAlive" Ohel among others. Gottlieb was on the shorter side of the counts at the start of the final table, but took the majority of Kuhn's chips with queens to take a commanding lead with five players remaining.

When heads-up play commenced, Gottlieb was back in a 2:1 deficit against Alan "GladiusIII" Goehring, but looked poised to take back command of the battle when the final hand of the tournament took place. Gottlieb, holding king-nine, flopped a king-high straight, while Goehring held ace-three of clubs for a higher straight draw and a flush draw. Gottlieb went from retaking the chip lead to out in one card when the turn was a club, and Gottlieb was forced to settle for $73,942 for a second-place run.

Gottlieb, who describes himself on his Twitter bio as a "full time veterinarian, part time button clicker", is back in action for this year's series, and looks to have a full schedule of events to play in his quest to finish one spot higher in an event this year, and lay claim to a WSOP Gold Bracelet.

Dan "PepperPrince" Zack open-jammed under the gun for 14,755 and "Jaragorn" called from the small blind.

"Jaragorn": {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Dan "PepperPrince" Zack: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Zack was behind holding a couple of overs but didn't get any help from the {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop.

The {q-Spades} turn gave him more outs with a gutshot but the {a-Clubs} river ended his tournament.
