Schwartz Busts One Before Break

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The player sitting to the immediate right of Jake Schwartz moved all in before the flop and Schwartz jammed his remaining chips as well. Everyone folded and they went heads-up, with Schwartz having the covering stack.

All-In Player: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Jake Schwartz: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop gave Schwartz a set and a firm hold on the pot, which he kept throughout the {7-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river. Schwartz eliminated one and added to his stack as players prepared to go on break.

Weinman Felts Gross

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ben Gross had gotten all of the chips in before the flop and was at risk against Daniel Weinman for 95,500.

Ben Gross: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Daniel Weinman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was a coinflip before the flop but that changed quickly when the flop came {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}, giving Weinman top two pairs. Gross was going to need a two to stay alive but the {a-Clubs} on the turn meant there was no more hope as Weinman made a full house. The {8-Spades} on the river was inconsequential and Gross was sent to the payout desk.

Towson Sends Opponent to the Cage

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, there was 55,000 in the middle and the action checked to David Towson who put in a bet of 65,000. The player in the small blind then shoved for his remaining stack of 106,000 and the player in the middle folded before Towson called.

David Towson: {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped top pair but the eight on the turn meant Towson improved to two pair and had his opponent drawing dead. The river was the {k-Diamonds}, improving both players hands and Towson took down the pot while eliminating his opponent.

Negreanu Doubles, Then Busts

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu was all in with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and up against {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The board ran out {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, and Negreanu doubled to 70,000 with trip aces.

"Back in business," he said.

But it wouldn't be for long. The next hand he was all in again with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Felipe Ramos showed {a-Spades}{6-Spades}. Ramos was dominated but paired his six on the {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs} board to send Negreanu to the payout desk.

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded to the cutoff who raised to 8,000 and Gal Yifrach called in the small blind before Dejuante Alexander ripped his entire stack of 57,000 in the middle.

The cutoff player made the call before Yifrach released his hand.

Dejuante Alexander: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Cutoff: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Alexander had run into pocket aces but the flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, giving him a set of jacks and becoming a massive favorite to win the hand. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and the river was the {3-Clubs}, giving Alexander a full house to double up.

Hrabec Wins Another, Approaches 500K

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Roman Hrabec found someone other than Daniel Negreanu to take chips from.

In his last hand, Hrabec called a raise to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The player in the cutoff bet 17,000, and Hrabec called. Both players checked the {8-Spades} turn.

Hrabec led for 10,000 on the {5-Diamonds} river, and his opponent called. Hrabec turned over {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flopped pair of aces and his opponent mucked, sending another pot to Hrabec who now owns one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Weinman Takes One Down

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded around to Daniel Weinman in the cutoff and he raised to 9,000. The small blind called as did John Iemolo in the big blind.

On the flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}, all three players checked. The turn was the {5-Spades}, the small blind checked to Iemolo who put in a bet of 15,000 and only Weinman called.

The {10-Diamonds} landed on the river and both players checked to a showdown. Iemolo tabled {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a pair of threes and Weinman took down the pot when he tabled {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.
