Leonard Left With Crumbs

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Patrick Leonard in late position who raised before seeing John Mullaney three-bet him from the cutoff. Leonard called and the two saw a flop of A28.

"Pads" check-called a bet from Mullaney to see the 4 hit the turn. Leonard check-called another bet before the river came the 9.

Leonard checked to see Mullaney toss out a bet. Leonard wasn't done yet, though, as he put in a raise only to see his opponent answer back with another raise.

This sent Leonard into the tank as it was for most of the rest of his chips. After running through the hand aloud and listing off possible hands that his opponent could have, he eventually put in the call and saw the bad news as Mullaney turned over the AJ for the nuts.

Davidson Among Players to Exit After Bubble Burst

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

With 80 players officially making the money during Level 19, the field quickly thinned out.

Dana Davidson, who entered Day 2 as the chip leader, headlines the list of players to hit the rail. Davidson saw his run come to an early end midway through the level.

Sandy Sanchez, Brandon Hamlet and Michael Coombs are among other players to bust shortly after the bubble burst.

There are currently 65 players remaining in the tournament.

Eskenazi Wins Two in a Row

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Scott Eskenazi raised from early position to see the player in the big blind commit her final chips before the flop. Eskenazi called and the cards were turned on their backs.

Button: Q10
Scott Eskenazi: AK

The board ran out 10AA79, allowing Eskenazi's hand to hold and sending his opponent to the rail.

The very next hand, Eskenazi raised under the gun only to see the button three-bet. Eskenazi put in the call and saw a flop of 5K8.

Eskenazi check-called a bet on the flop and the dealer turned the Q.

Eskenazi check-called a bet once more before seeing the river come out the 9. Both players checked through and Eskenazi quickly turned over AA. His opponent tossed his cards toward the muck and Eslenazi won a second straight pot.

Price Takes Down Large Pot From Alexander

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Level 19 brought furious action before, during and after the flop between three players.

Matthew Alexander raised from under the gun, but was re-raised by Lonnie Price. The small blind flatted the action, only to see Alexander raise the pot once more. Price and the small blind flatted.

The flop brought 323 on the board. The small blind checked, prompting Alexander to bet, which Price and the small blind called. Things got interesting on the turn when 10 hit the board.

Alexander bet, and then Price raised. The player in the small blind took his time to study the board while looking at Price for at least a full minute before electing to fold.

“Did you raise?” Alexander asked.

“Yes,” Price said.

Alexander then re-raised, which Price re-raised. Alexander flatted to bring the action to the river, which saw 6 on the board.

“I have to bet,” Alexander said as he moved chips forward.

Price appeared undeterred by the comment and raised, which Alexander quickly called.

“I got lucky,” Price said as he tabled 1010 for a full house.

Alexander folded his cards his anguish, inadvertently exposing the A and an unknown card as he tossed both cards in the air towards the muck. The dealer then pushed the massive pot to Price, who now owns a large stack of chips in front of him.

Sylvia Doubles Up to Keep One Step Ahead of the Bubble

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

The player on the button raised, and after flipping an imaginary coin in the air and having it land tails, the small blind folded. That left Jesse Sylvia with barely more than two bets behind to raise. The button called and they headed to the flop with Sylvia's tournament hopes on the line.

When the flop rolled off 5Q7 the button announced bet, and Sylvia's lone $1,000 chip beat the button's into the pot.

Sylvia A8
Button A6

Neither player made a pair as the 3 and 7 came turn, river, but Sylvia's eight kicker to the player's shared ace high gave him a much-needed chance at survival.

Knight Battles Through Three to Rack Up a Big One

Level 19 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Raising from late position Jesse Knight received three callers, cutoff Dana Davidson, button Alex Torry, and Bill Klein in the small blind.

A 6A5 was checked through to Knight. His bet folded Klein, but elicited a raise from Torry, which Knight and Davidson called.

Two more checks led to another Knight bet on a 6 turn, with calls from Torry and Davidson.

When the river rolled over K again it was checked to Knight, who bet again, with Davidson folding, and Torry putting in the call. Knight showed AK for three pair, only two of which he needed to make Torry throw his cards in the muck, and Knight to take down a 172,000 pot.
