Vieira Forces Out Opponent

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The board read {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Byambajav Bandi bet 55,000 into a pot of about 100,000. Jose Duarte Vieira raised all in to force Bandi to make a decision for his remaining stack of about 71,000.

Bandi went into the tank and looked pained before eventually slowly sliding his cards forward to fold and turning them up to reveal {a-}{8-}. Vieira did not show and took in the pot.

Gavasci and Spencer Clash with Big Slick

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Lewis Spencer raised to 27,000 from the small blind and Martin Gavasci three-bet to 100,000 from the big blind. Spencer shoved his last 484,000 and Gavasci went into the tank.

After several minutes the clock was called by an unknown voice at the table and the tournament director was summoned to count it down.

A few seconds into the count down, Gavasci called and turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Spencer had {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and the flush draw appeared for Gavasci, but the river was {3-Diamonds} and the last several minutes were rendered meaningless by the chopped pot.

Ted Gonzalez: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Brian Ganon: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Both players held premium made hands but Gonzalez held the better one and the {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} secured his double-up.

Osser Recovers a Little

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

It was a rough start for Jason Osser who came into the day with a comfortable 321,000 chips but quickly found a majority scattered throughout his table. After Daniel Lowery opened to 16,000, Osser pushed all in for his last 81,000 chips. The action folded back to Lowery who quickly called.

Jason Osser: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Daniel Lowery: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} which left Lowery in the lead with his pocket tens. The {j-Spades} on the turn gave Osser a pair of jacks and he held on through the {5-Clubs} river to score a double up.

Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

Jared Bleznick was all in after an early position jam, he was called by Ben Yu from the button.

Jared Bleznick: {j-}{j-}
Ben Yu: {a-}{a-}

The dealer spread the flop {3-}{j-}{8-} to immediately hit Bleznick. The turn was {5-} and the river a {k-} to keep Bleznick alive.

"We were all rooting for you Ben" said a tablemate with a smile as Yu was forced to surrender a chunk of his stack.

Kornuth Over a Million

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chance Kornuth was heads-up on the button against a lone opponent in the cutoff on a completed board of {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Kornuth had a bet large enough in front of him to put his opponent all in for his last 200,000.

The cutoff eventually decided to call after a lengthy tank and Kornuth tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for top two pair. It was good and Kornuth's opponent tossed his cards into the muck — sealing his elimination.

Trost Hits Running Cards to Crack Aces

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Craig Trost
Craig Trost

Carl Masters opened from early position, Craig Trost three-bet from one seat over, and Masters jammed. Trost called to put his stack of about 250,000 at risk.

Craig Trost: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Carl Masters: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Trost's big slick ran into aces and he needed help. The {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop provided none, but the {k-Clubs} turn gave him a glimmer of hope. Needing one of two kings to stay alive, the dealer put down the {k-Diamonds} to complete the board, which prompted a loud celebration by Trost due to the improbable sequence that allows him to continue his Main Event run with a healthy stack.
