Simpson Takes Out Funaro

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Conrad Simpson
Conrad Simpson

Conrad Simpson raised in the cutoff to 16,000 and Frank Funaro three-bet to 70,000 next to act. The small blind folded quickly and Ori Hasson mucked the big blind. Simpson announced all-in for the rest of Funaro's stack of just over 120,000 and Funaro called.

Frank Funaro: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Conrad Simpson: {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Simpson was ahead with the ace-high and the flop came {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, giving him top pair. Funaro picked up some hope when the {j-Hearts} landed, giving him a gutshot straight draw but the {7-Diamonds} on the river was a brick and Funaro was eliminated as they reach the bubble shortly.

Aces Against Ace-King

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ali Imsirovic raised in middle position to 16,000. It folded to a player in late position who moved all-in covering Imsirovic. When the action got to Imsirovic he snap-called. He was all-in for 110,000 with his tournament life at risk.

Ali Imsirovic: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Imsirovic's pocket aces held and he doubled up nearing the money bubble.

Imsirovic Continues on the Flop

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ali Imsirovic raised in the cutoff to 12,000 and DJ Alexander folded the small blind before Taylor Howard called in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Howard checked to Imsirovic who continued for 8,000. That was good enough to get Howard to muck the hand and the dealer shipped the pot to Imsirovic.

Therme Makes a Straight to Stay Alive

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jonathan Therme
Jonathan Therme

The action folded around to the cutoff who raised to 12,000 and Jonathan Therme three-bet all-in for 77,000 from the small blind. The cutoff made the call and both hands were tabled.

Jonathan Therme: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for neither player to improve but Therme flopped a gutshot to go along with his live queen. The {a-Hearts} turn meant Therme was going to need to make a straight to survive and the river came the {10-Spades} to do just that.

Pedro Madeira: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Fabian Gumz: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Madeira couldn't catch his overcards as the board ran out {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Madeira was eliminated from the tournament.
