Johnson No More

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Marco Johnson had been among the big stacks mid-way through the day but he was just seen quickly heading out of the tournament area. His former table was four-handed and one big stack was easily visible in Joao Vieira.

The Portuguese pro confirmed that he had taken almost all of Johnson's chips and capped it off by winning a flip with queens versus ace-king, hitting a queen on the flop in a NLHE hand.

Ryan Miller was moved to Johnson's former seat and he also lost a lot of chips throughout the last few levels.

Wattel Eliminated by Vitch

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Badugi

The short stack grind of Mike Wattel has eventually come to an end. He got it in against Chris Vitch and broke a queen as per the table chat but stood no chance, as Vitch's {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades} for an Eight-Dugi earned the pot. Wattel stormed out of the tournament area not too pleased with the final outcome, which left the players at his previous table somewhat surprised as they discussed what had just happened.

Once Upon a Regular Split Pot

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Matt Glantz: {x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {x-}
Jack Rice: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Jack Rice bet fifth and then check-called sixth against Matt Glantz. Both checked seventh and Rice tabled the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, which chopped with the {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} of Glantz. The vast majority of all hands in this game variant tend to be split pots when heading into showdown and this one was no different.

Late Night Casualties

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Bariscan Betil was eliminated not long ago and Schuyler Thornton followed in a Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw hand against Andrew Kelsall. Fewer than 50 players remain in the final level of the night, which is a repeat of the previous level with the same blind structure.

Micon Gets Scooped by Prasetyo

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Aditya Prasetyo bet all the way on a board of {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Bryan Micon check-called. Prasetyo rolled over the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a set of eights and Micon sent his cards into the muck.

Eric Kurtzman: {x-}{x-} / {8-}{9-}{2-}{a-} / {x-}

Allan Le bet sixth and seventh street against Eric Kurtzman, who was then shown the {4-}{3-}{2-} for a rivered wheel. There were some "ohhh's" at the table and Kurtzman tossed his cards into the muck.

Wattel Doubles His Short Stack

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Big O Hi-Lo

Mike Wattel was at risk from under the gun with a short stack as Nick Guagenti three-bet out of the big blind and called the all-in for little more.

Mike Wattel: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Nick Guagenti: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs} and the aces held for Wattel, securing his double as there was no low in play.

Bronstein Gets Shorter

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Anatolii Zyrin raised to 4,000 and was called by Noah Bronstein out of the small blind. Bronstein took one while Zyrin patted. They checked and Bronstein tabled the {q-}{10-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for a queen-ten, which Zyrin had beat with a jack-low.

Bronstein dropped to fewer than half of the starting stack after the hand was over.
