Garza Raises the River

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joining the action on the flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} Raul Garza bet 20,000 when checked to. His opponent in early position called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and action went check-check.

The {6-Diamonds} was the river and the early position player went into the tank before counting out a chunky 101,000 bet. Garza paused before moving his opponent all in by raising to 151,000 effective. His opponent paused before making the fold. Garza smirked as he threw his hand into the muck and collected his chips as his tablemates urged him to show the bluff.

Casualties Before the Break

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Within quick succession, the following players all awaited their payouts.

Among them were also Kim Stone and Ebony Kenney, who had shared a table previously. Once Kenney had busted, Stone was all-in with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} versus {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and chopped thanks to a board of {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. However, the 130,000 she had behind then vanished shortly after.

Bohn Turns a Flush; Busts to Quads

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three ways to the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop, Blake Bohn pushed all-in for around 115,000 and Mitchell Collins reluctantly called to force the third player out of the hand.

Blake Bohn: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Mitchell Collins: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The {3-Clubs} turn improved Bohn to a flush but the {a-Diamonds} river gave Collins quads to send Bohn to the payout desk.

"Nice comeback, didn't you have like 30k not that long ago?" Timothy McDermott on the same table asked. Collins nodded and mentioned he had almost called it off in a previous hand. He now sits on a stack of more than half a million with around 850 players remaining.

Abdella Chips Down

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Ahmed Abdella check-called for 20,000 and then checked again the {q-Spades} turn as his sole remaining opponent checked behind. Abdella also checked the {a-Diamonds} on the river and faced a bet worth 80,000. After muling it over for a while, Abdella sent his cards into the muck and forfeited the pot.

Kristen Deardorff

With the pot already at 34,000 on the {4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, Kristen Deardorff bet 14,000 from early position. The late-position player raised to 39,000 and Deardorff went all-in for 117,000 total. The late-position player called.

Kristen Deardorff: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Late Position: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The board ran {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to give Deardorff the double up.

After a career-best cash of $59,258 when she finished 12th in the $1,500 Monster Stack, Deardorff is looking to make another deep WSOP run.

Maguire Gets Value

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joining the action on the river the board was {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Spades} and Chris Maguire bet 20,000 from the small blind into a pot of approximately 100,000. His opponent in the lojack called but couldn't beat Maguire's flush as he turned over {6-Spades}{5-Spades} for the winner.

No Miracle for Ho

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Maria Ho moved all in under the gun for her last 55,000 chips, and found a caller in the big blind. Ho revealed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} while her opponent turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

The {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop meant Ho was in need of a queen, while the {5-Clubs} turn provided a flush draw. The {4-Spades} river was a blank, and Ho made her way to the payout desk.

Jaka Spikes the River

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Faraz Jaka raised on the button, only to see the small blind move all in. Jaka called with his tournament life at risk holding {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and needing help against {a-}{k-}.

The {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop provided some chop outs, while the {9-Spades} turn changed nothing. Jaka then spiked the {j-Spades} river to stay alive and double his stack.
