Corbin Reaches Six Digits, Arieh Eliminated

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Nate Corbin opened with a raise from early position and found three callers, including Harry Kazazian on the button and Josh Arieh from the big blind. Arieh was all in as his chips had been brought low after a recent hand.

The flop was {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Corbin continued for 2,500, both Kazazian and the player in the small blind called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Corbin fired a second bullet for 6,000. Kazazian called, the small blind got out of the way.

The {6-Hearts} hit the river. Corbin thought for a bit before betting 11,000, nearly putting Kazazian all in. Arieh stood up to put his backpack on. After about a minute, Kazazian folded.

Nate Corbin: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Josh Arieh: {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

"I folded ace-jack," said Kazazian, keeping his tournament alive.

Arieh couldn't get anything going today but was still gracious as he left the table.

"Good luck, gentlemen," said Arieh as he headed to the door.

Lim's Boat Stronger Than Bullets

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player was standing up and getting ready to leave his table as it appeared as though he had called a river shove with a board reading {10-}{k-}{10-}{7-}{5-}. His {a-}{a-} was showing as the hand that had lead to his demise.

Hyun Woo Lim had the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the boat and the player holding aces could only walk away with his very short main event ride ended.

Botfeld Drops Ball Shorter

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Scott Ball re-raised to 3,500 from middle position and Amanda Botfeld, sitting directly to his right, called to see the {j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop.

Botfeld checked to Ball, who continued with a bet of 1,300. Botfeld again called and both players checked the {6-Spades} turn.

Botfeld led out for 6,000 on the {4-Clubs} river and Ball, with around 20,000 behind, quickly mucked.

Cynn Scores Big With Ladies

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

John Cynn opened to 1,100 from late position and faced a three-bet to 5,000 from a player in the cutoff. After thinking for some time, Cynn just called.

On a flop of {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} Cynn checked to the three-bettor, who continued for 4,000. Cynn made the call to send the two players to the turn.

Action checked through the {8-Clubs} turn to the {9-Hearts} river where Cynn took over the betting lead, tossing 9,500 into the middle. His opponent went into the tank and emerged having decided on a call. Cynn turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for the overpair, good enough to scoop a sizable pot.

Smith Gets There

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

The board was {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Dylan Smith was in the early position when he checked to his opponent in the cutoff. The cutoff player bet 7,000 but then Smith check-raised to 18,000. After a few seconds the cutoff called.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Smith took some time before he checked, but then his opponent checked back and Smith tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a rivered top pair. His opponent looked stunned as he stared at Smith's cards then back at his own and then the board just trying to figure it all out.

"Yeah he wins," he said as he threw his cards into the muck, talking to himself about how he should have shoved the turn.

"Yeah I thought about value betting the river," Smith told him.

"You should have, I was calling" his opponent replied.

Posey Cracks Aces to Triple Up

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up after all three players had moved all in. The big stack sat to the right of Justin Posey, who had the smallest stack at 52,100, while the player to his left had him covered by just a few thousand.

Justin Posey: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Middle Stack: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Big Stack: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The middle stack was in great shape, but that changed dramatically as the {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop improved Posey to a set and left his opponents drawing thin. The {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs} turn and river completed the board, and locked up the pot for Posey, tripling his stack.

Lopez Makes Big Fold to Karnofsky

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Harlan Karnofsky re-raised to 8,000 pre-flop and was called by Guillermo Lopez as they went heads-up to the {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop.

Karnofsky quickly threw out a bet of 18,000 and Lopez, with not much more behind, went into the tank for a few minutes. He eventually open-mucked {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and found out he had saved his tournament life when Karnofsky showed him two kings.

Johan Schumacher
Johan Schumacher

Johan Schumacher opened from under the gun, the cutoff three-bet to 4,000, and Schumacher called.

The dealer fanned the {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Schumacher check-called for 8,000.

The {j-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Schumacher checked, and his opponent moved all in. Schumacher quickly called for his 16,700 chips.

Johan Schumacher: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Schumacher had ran ladies into rockets, but fortunately flopped top set to vault ahead. Needing to fade an ace or king to survive, the {j-Spades} completed the board, and the Belgian secured the double.

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action was on the flop as Isaac Kempton bet 3,000 from middle position as it read {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}. Thomas Echyenne called in the hijack.

The river came the {q-Clubs}. Kempton kept up the lead and fired 15,000 forward. This time Echyenne sprung into action and shoved all in for about 41,000. Kempton thought for close to a minute before he gave it up and folded.
