Level 14

Jerry Wong: Ax3x / Jx6x4x3x / 5x
Ben Yu: 2x3x / 9x3x7x2x / 10x
Hal Rotholz: Ax5x / Kx9x5xJx / Kx

Hal Rotholz completed with a king showing and Jerry Wong called. Ben Yu then raised and Rotholz made it three bets for Wong to come along before Yu's reraise capped it three ways.

On fourth street. Yu bet his lead and Rotholz raised all-in for Wong to make it three bets, which Yu called with 10,000 behind. Yu got it in after fifth street for the rest of it and all cards were flipped. Wong had two shorter stacks at risk and hit a perfect runout with a six-five to knock out Rotholz and Yu, reducing the field to the last 23 players for the redraw of the last three tables.

Adam Owen: XxXx / 10x6x folded on fourth street
James Obst: XxXx / 6xAx8x7x / Xx

James Obst bet on fourth street to get called by Michael Moncek while Adam Owen folded. Moncek took the lead on fifth and bet for Obst to call before the lead reversed on sixth once more, prompting a bet by Obst and call by Moncek.

On seventh, they checked and Obst showed the 10x7xXx for an eight-seven-six but the Jx8x7x of Moncek had made an eight-seven-five.

Tommy Hang: XxXx / 6x5x9x folded on fifth street
Ben Yu: XxXx / 4x2x5x

One table over, Ben Yu bet all the way to fifth street and eventually forced a fold from Tommy Hang to chip up.

Action was picked up as David Funkhouser was all in.

David Funkhouser: Jx4x/6xQxAxAx/Xx
Tommy Hang: Ax5x/9x7x4x3x/Xx

Tommy Hang's 8x was not needed, as his seven-five was more than enough to have Funkhouser drawing dead. Funkhouser's 7x was his last card.

Rough Runout Leaves Alexander on a Nub

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14

John Hennigan: 7x9x / 4x5xAx8x
George Alexander: XxXx / 9xQx4x10x folded on sixth street

George Alexander called when John Hennigan completed and then groaned when he picked up another high card on fourth, when he called another bet. "That's how I know it," Michael Noori joked. Alexander stuck around until sixth but folded with one bet behind.

"We were on even ground," Hennigan said and exposed his nine-seven in the hole.
