Chang Takes a Chunk from Arieh and Zyrin

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

The hand was picked up with three-way action on a completed board of {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} with Anatolii Zyrin who fired out a bet of 320,000 chips. Josh Arieh got out of the way and Danny Chang snap-called and instantly tabled the winner {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for two pairs queens and fives, which sent Zyrin's cards into the muck.

With that pot, Chang chipped up to 3,300,000 and took over the chip leader position.

Niklas Astedt Eliminated in 19th Place ($20,097)

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

Niklas Astedt

Dan Colpoys raised it up on the button and Niklas Astedt defended from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Astedt pushed all in which Colpoys quickly called.

Niklas Astedt: {a-}{q-}{j-}{6-}
Dan Colpoys: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Astedt flopped two pair but it was no match for the set of queens from Colpoys. The {j-Clubs} on the turn left Astedt drawing dead to the {7-Clubs} on the river.

Brain Hastings Eliminated in 20th Place ($20,097)

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

Jason Reisenberg raised it up from under the gun and Brian Hastings called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the two players wasted little time getting all of the chips in the middle, with Hastings at risk for a little over 100,000.

Brian Hastings: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Jason Reisenberg: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Both players flopped a set but Hastings would need to improve to quads if he wanted to stay in the tournament. The {j-Hearts} on the turn gave him two chances at that but the {4-Diamonds} on the river would end his hopes.

Sternberg Doubles Through Zyrin

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

The action was picked up on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs} with Anatolii Zyrin who checked and Alan Sternberg checked back.

The turn card was a {k-Spades} and this time Zyrin fired out a bet of 90,000, and Sterberg responded when he raised all-in for his remaining 210,000 chips. After a brief moment, Zyrin called, and the two were off to the river.

The river card was the {9-Clubs} and it was the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for two pairs, aces and kings held by Sternberg that was the winner. Zyrin had shown a {4-}{2-} on the turn for a low draw before mucking completely after the river card arrived.

With this hand Sternberg doubled through Zyrin and chipped up to 520,000.

Gross Holds for a Double Up

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

John Esposito raised to 45,000 in middle position and Jeff Gross three-bet shoved all in for 200,000 in the small blind. "I'll gamble with you," Esposito said as he called.

Jeff Gross: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
John Esposito: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}

"You got a real hand," Gross pointed out.

"No shit," Espositio responded.

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} to give Esposito a flush draw, straight draw, a pair of sixes, and the best low draw. However, the {q-Clubs} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river completely bricked out and Gross held on for a double up.
