Levy Wins the Race

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marc Levy opened from under the gun and James Ladeira moved all in for 159,000 from the small blind. Levy made the call.

Marc Levy: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
James Ladeira: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-}{10-}{10-}{5-}{9-} and Levy's eights held up.

Ladeira was left with a single 1,000 chip.

"Let's go!" said Ladeira, hopeful he could make his chip and a chair work for him. "And I have the button!"

Despite his positivity, Ladeira busted a few hands later.

Yunis Turns a Set to Double Up

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was picked up just after both Cole Ferraro and Nick Yunis moved all in. Yunis was the short stack, with 143,000 behind, with Ferraro just barely covering him.

Nick Yunis: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Cole Ferraro: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

With Yunis ahead, the flop came {6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, pairing Ferraro's ace and putting him ahead and leaving Yunis just two cards away from elimination. That changed quickly though, as the {10-Spades} turn gave Yunis a set to put him back out in front, before the {5-Diamonds} river completed the board. Yunis' set was good, and he collected the double up, leaving Ferraro with just two big blinds.

Fragoso Flops a Full House to Double Up

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was picked up with both Francisco Fragoso and Maria Konnikova having already moved all in. Fragoso, the big blind, was the small stack with 70,000 behind.

Francisco Fragoso: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Maria Konnikova: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Fragoso was behind, but the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop gave him a full house, putting him well ahead, but still leaving Konnikova with outs. None of those outs came though, as the board finished out {q-Spades}{9-Spades}. Fragoso's full house was still good, giving him the double up.

Song Busts Another

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

Playing four handed, Thibault Renard opened to 20,000 from the cutoff. Kevin Song three-bet to 55,000. Renard called and went to the flop heads up.

The flop came {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Renard checked to Song who continued for 65,000. Renard elected to call.

On the {7-Spades} turn, Renard checked once more. Song bet 105,000. After some thought, Renard called.

The river fell the {4-Hearts} and Renard checked. Song thought for a while before announcing "all in," a bet of 450,000 effective. With his tournament on the line, Renard thought for about three minutes before making the call.

Song showed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Renard looked at his cards, bent them tightly, and threw them into the muck before they could be revealed. Song took down the pot to give him a large percentage of the chips at his table with only two players standing between him and Day 3.

Action was picked up after both Qui Nguyen and Barak Wisbrod had moved all in. Kevin Song, who had both players covered, took a few moments before announcing the call.

Barak Wisbrod: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Qui Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Kevin Song: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Song was already ahead, but the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop gave him a set and left his opponents drawing razor thin. The board finished out {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, improving Song to a full house. Song scooped the pot as Nguyen and Wisbrod were sent to the rail.

Waigel Limps and Then Gets Aggressive

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

Ezequiel Waigel limped from middle position, the button called, and Eugene Katchalov checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}. Katchalov led from the big blind for 12,000 before Waigel put in the raise to 40,000. Katchalov made the call after the button folded.

On the {a-Clubs} turn, Katchalov check-called a bet of 68,000 from Waigel.

When the {q-Clubs} river landed, Katchalov checked again. Waigel bet 150,000, about half of Katchalov's remaining stack.

Katchalov thought for about three minutes before two players simultaneously called the clock on him.

"Did you wait until the 32:00 mark on the clock too?" said clock caller Craig Trost.

Waiting until the tournament director reached zero, Katchalov eventually releases his hand.

Some details of the hand were provided thanks to Trost.
