Dietrich Fast: {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Klyde Forte: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

On the flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} Fast was in the lead and looked good for a double until the turn came the {10-Clubs} and river {7-Clubs}, eliminating Fast from the tournament.

Torgersen Delivers Brutal Cooler to Marini in Huge Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a raise to 4,500 preflop from Anthony Marini, Ryan Torgersen three-bet to 16,000 and Marini called.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and Marini led out for 25,000 and Torgersen just called.

But on the turn, when Marini led out again for 78,000, Torgersen shipped it over the top of him for around 90,000 more. After a few seconds, Marini made the call and the cards were tabled.

Ryan Torgersen: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Anthony Marini: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Marini's heart sank as he realized he was way behind in this massive pot and that only another king could save him, but the river {2-Diamonds} was a complete brick and Torgeson scored a huge double and is now in contention for the chip lead.

Guziak Makes the Call on Liberto

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a heads-up situation, the flop was {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} when Kenneth Guziak checked in the blinds. Justin Liberto bet 3,500 and Guziak raised it to 10,000. After a minute of thinking, Liberto called.

A {5-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and Guziak check-called this time for 6,500.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Guziak sent 9,500 into the middle, with only one chip worth 25,000 left behind. Liberto decided to raise it to 25,000 and Guziak eventually called.

Guziak flipped over {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top pair and it was good enough for Liberto, who mucked his cards.

Schrack Flushes Out Miller

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There was a lot of action on a flop reading {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Maxwell Schrack had bet made it 3,000 preflop, Stephen Miller and Viktor Kovachev called.

On the flop, Schrack bet 4,000. Miller jammed all in for about 26,000. Kovachev called the jam and then Schrack re-jammed for about 113,000 to send Kovachev into the tank. He folded after about two minutes.

It was nearly a coin flip as, Miller had the lead with the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} while Schrack had the big draw with the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Spades} to bring in the flush and leave Miller drawing dead as the {k-Hearts} came off on the river.

Kassouf Predicts a Cooler

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

An early position player opened to 3,000 and found two callers, Will Kassouf in middle position and the player in the big blind.

"It's a cooler, raise and a couple calls, three-way cooler," said Kassouf.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

"Ace-ten against pockets deuces against a flush draw, cooler," Kassouf narrowed his prediction.

The early-position raiser continued for 7,000.

"This could get expensive," said Kassouf as he made the call. The big blind player folded.

Kassouf saw his opponent check the {q-Clubs} turn.

"Bingo," said Kassouf. "The book says I'm supposed to bet. But just in case," he tapped the table to check behind.

The river was the {4-Clubs}, and the opener checked again. Kassouf checked behind.

The early-position player showed {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for flopped trips, Kassouf had that part of his prediction correct.

"I'll show for this one," and Kassouf showed {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the flush draw that hit a pair on the river.
