Freeman Takes from Leonard

Level 13

Big O

Patrick Leonard raised from the cutoff and Zack Freeman defended out of the big blind. Freeman checked on the flop of Q54 and Leonard bet. Freeman check-raised and Leonard called.

Both players then checked on the 10 turn and the same action took place on the 6 river. Freeman tabled Q9532 for two pair and it was good to win the pot.

Kassela Hits the Wrong Straight

Level 13
Frank Kassela
Frank Kassela

Badeucey

Frank Kassela took on Marco Johnson and had to discard three on the second draw as he exposed the JJ face-up while the third card was down. Johnson took one and the remaining chips then went in prior to the final draw, on which Kassela needed two new cards.

Johnson patted and Kassela joked "of course ... why wouldn't you?!" with a smirk on the face.

Frank Kassela: 532
Marco Johnson: J / 9543

Kassela flipped over the 4 first and suddenly had the chance to stay in contention. However, the 6 was no good as the straight killed his hand to reduce the field to the last 30 hopefuls.

Kassela Chops Twice for Minor Profit

Level 13

Stud 8 or Better

James Obst: 642 / 2297
Frank Kassela: AA3 / 578K
Sampo Ryynanen: XxXx / 34QJ / Xx

Frank Kassela was all-in on third street and found two callers in James Obst and Sampo Ryynanen. They checked to sixth street on which Obst bet and Ryynanen called. The same action repeated on seventh street and Obst tabled a set of deuces. Kassela had the low and chopped for a small profit.

James Obst: XxXx / 2K9 folded on fifth street
Frank Kassela: 73 / A294 / 6
Sampo Ryynanen: 43 / A787 / 10

Rinse and repeat, as Kassela was all-in on third street again. This time, Ryynanen bet fourth and fifth street with Obst calling just once. Ryynanen had the low on fifth and paired up on sixth. However, Kassela spiked the superior low on seventh and chopped some further profit.

Kassela then scored a straight double in Badeucey to stay in contention.

Seiver Severed by Kalas

Level 13
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

No Limit Hold'em

Kane Kalas and Scott Seiver got into a raising war that saw Seiver being all in and at risk for around 260,000 from the small blind as Kalas had him covered on the button.

Scott Seiver: AK
Kane Kalas: QQ

Seiver couldn't survive the flip as the board ran out 7QKJ9 to improve Kalas to a set to win the pot as Seiver hit the rail.

Kassela Left With a Chip and a Chair

Level 13

Big O

On a flop of KJ3, Frank Kassela bet the pot and was called by [Removed:508] only for them to see the A on the turn. Kassela bet the pot again and then called the shove by Crivello for nearly even stacks.

[Removed:508]: QJ1087
Frank Kassela: AK1096

Both players had two flush draws to go with their hands but Crivello was in the lead with broadway. Nothing changed with the 4 river and Crivello doubled for 99,500, leaving Kassela on a nub. At almost the same time, Taylor Paur lost the remainder of his severe short stack as he couldn't beat the AA96 of Dutch Boyd in a regular PLO hand.

Siegel Scoops Gorodinsky

Level 13

Big O

Jordan Siegel opened to 10,500 from the hijack and Mike Gorodinsky defended out of the big blind.

Gorodinsky led out on the flop of 3810 and Siegel raised all in for 34,500. Gorodinsky called with a bigger stack.

Jordan Siegel: AAQ74
Mike Gorodinsky: Q10942

Gorodinsky couldn't pull ahead as the board finished out J2 to improve Siegel to the nut flush and a low to scoop the pot and stay alive.

Zinno Takes Three Quarters Against Seiver

Level 13
Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Once three-way action was confirmed, Scott Seiver joked "big pot alert" with a big grin on the face before the flop came 872. He checked out of the big blind and John Hennigan bet 19,000 in the hijack, which Anthony Zinno called in the cutoff. Seiver came along and the K fell on the turn.

Seiver checked, as did Hennigan, and Zinno then bet the pot. Seiver moved all-in for Hennigan to fold and Zinno called.

Anthony Zinno: AK93
Scott Seiver: A853

Both had the nut low but Zinno held the superior pair to go with it. That didn't change with the 9 river either and Zinno, who was all-in for 288,500, earned three quarters of the large pot.

Couden Doubles Through Seiver

Level 13

5 Card Draw High

Joey Couden was all-in and received a call by Scott Seiver as both players turned over two pair.

Joey Couden: 9922
Scott Seiver: 7755

Seiver shook his head as he found himself dominated with inferior two pair and Couden spiked the 2 for deuces full. Seiver needed one of the remaining sevens or fives in the deck to score the knockout but only caught the A.
