Morris Loses Chip Lead

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Arthur Morris had crossed the two million chip mark recently, but a massive pot has dented his stack significantly.

With the board reading {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, Ashly Butler moved all-in for 370,000 and got a call from Morris who got some bad news.

Ashly Butler: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Arthur Morris: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Morris' aces had run into top set, and the {2-Clubs} on the river brought him no help as he shipped a huge pot to Butler.

Ireland Knocks Out Brandes

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Fabian Brandes raised in middle position to see Nathan Zimnik and Anderson Ireland call. All three players checked the {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop before Ireland led out for 70,000 on the {q-Hearts} turn. Brandes quickly moved all in, and Ireland called.

Fabian Brandes: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Anderson Ireland: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Brandes turned over his set of kings, but it was second best to Ireland's straight. The {6-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing, and Brandes was eliminated in 26th place.

Sandrock Wins One; Loses One

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Shiva Dudani raised to 35,000 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 75,000 by Chris Sandrock on the button. The flop brought {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Dudani checked, Sandrock bet 125,000 and that won the pot.

One hand later, Sandrock raised and called a three-bet by Leonid Yanovski in the big blind.

"Good luck to you," Sandrock said with a big smile on the face.

On a flop of {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Yanovski bet the pot for 255,000 and Sandrock tapped the table in defeat before conceding the pot.

More For Sandrock

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Chris Sandrock led into Leonid Yanovski for 30,000. Yanovski called.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Sandrock quickly fired out a meatier 180,000, which got a fold from Yanovski, as the Day 1 chip leader makes a late press to earn the same title after Day 2.

Witz Rips Into Younes

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Jonathan Witz bet 90,000 in the small blind and Nader Younes raised to 225,000 on the button. Witz then raised the pot for more than 800,000 and that sent Younes into the tank. He then folded and exposed the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for everyone to see.

Witz only exposed the {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with the words "I don't even know what the other cards are."

Eli Elezra replied: "you had the nut flush draw, I know you."

Witz shot back with a remark that indicated Elezra had no idea what he was talking about and that caused some friendly banter.

"I played poker before you were born. How old are you? I am 61."

Witz replied "I am 59" and then raked in the pot with a grin on the face without exposing his other two cards.

The atmosphere on the final four tables has been very jovial as the action may have slowed down but the jokes from various contenders have not.

Kuney Eliminated by Witz

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Kuney was short-stacked and all-in with aces against Jonathan Witz.

Michael Kuney: {a-Spades}{a-}{9-Spades}{5-}
Jonathan Witz: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Both players found something on the {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, as Kuney had a flush draw against Witz's set of queens. The {5-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river changed nothing, and Kuney hit the rail in 25th place.
