Three-Way All In Results in Triple for Petersen, Double for Sinn

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Scott Seiver potted preflop and was called by Alexander Petersen. "I call that obvious bluff," Charles Sinn said before also calling.

The flop came {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and all three players wound up all in, Petersen for around 66,000 and Sinn for 147,000 more.

Alexander Petersen: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Charles Sinn: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Scott Seiver: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Sinn was in the lead with a set of tens, but the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to improve Petersen to a straight. He tripled up, while Seiver handed over a double up to Sinn.

If First Bleznick Doesn't Succeed, He Tries Again

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A severe short-stack was all in on the flop with a side pot between Jared Bleznick and Jeremy Ausmus. Bleznick bet 50,000 on the {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop and Ausmus called.

The turn came the {3-Hearts} and Ausmus bet 50,000 after Bleznick checked. Bleznick folded and Ausmus showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}, while the all-in player had {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for quads and left Ausmus drawing dead.

The all-in player tripled up on that hand but had all his 32,000 chips in the middle the next hand. Brian Rast called before Bleznick, taking another shot at knocking his opponent out, raised to 75,000.

Rast called but folded when Bleznick bet 150,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop. Bleznick had {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and was up against {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Bleznick stayed in front the rest of the way and sent his opponent to the rail at last.

Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

Josh Arieh got his last 202,000 chips in against Ka Kwan Lau on a flop of {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Josh Arieh: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Ka Kwan Lau: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Arieh had flush and straight draws against the pocket aces of Lau and hit the straight when the turn came {6-Spades}. The {k-Diamonds} river completed the board and Arieh doubled up.

"Oh baby! Daddy's back," Arieh said as he dragged in the pot.

"What a heater. I had 14,000."

Arieh Doubles Again Through Lau, Tops One Million

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

Shortly after Josh Arieh doubled up against Ka Kwan Lau, the two tangled in another massive pot that left Arieh the tournament chip leader.

Arieh got his last 515,000 in the middle on a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Spades} and flopped top set with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Lau was drawing to a flush with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

Lau completed the flush on the {7-Spades} turn and left Arieh needing the board to pair to stay alive in the tournament. He got that wish when the {7-Clubs} fell on the river.

"Did Josh get lucky again," Daniel Negreanu asked from another table.

"He had 14,000. Now he's chip leader," tablemate Robert Mizrachi replied.
