Brett Slezak

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Philip Tanner limped from early position, Adam Friedman limped from middle position, the small blind completed and the big blind checked.

The action checked to Friedman on the Q♥9♥4♣ flop. He potted for 48,000, which saw the blinds get out of the way. Tanner responded with a check-pot, Friedman raised all-in for 225,000, and Tanner called.

Adam Friedman: K♥5♦4♠4♥2♠ All in
Philip Tanner: A♦Q♠10♥10♦8♥

Friedman was in great shape with his set of fours and dominating flush draw. However, the turn brought a miracle J♠ to give Tanner the straight.

The 3♠ river did not complete the flush or pair the board and Friedman was eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A big pot was brewing to the river of a board showing 10♠5♠7♠6♣A♦ and a bet of 60,000 sitting in front of Zeph Pages in early position.

Dylan Lindsey then raised the pot in the cutoff, amounting to 241,000 and Pages went into the tank.

After taking some time, Pages opted to make the call. Lindsey turned over A♥J♥8♠3♦2♠ for a flush and deuce-three for the low, taking down the entire pot when Pages had to muck his hand.

Frankie O'Dell, sitting on Lindsey's left, had also gained lots of ground on Level 17.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 80,000 chips in the pot on a 9♠3♥8♥ board, Matthew Bretzfield and Yuval Bronshtein checked to Samuel Baldinger in middle position. Baldinger then bet the pot with 60,000 behind, and was raised all-in by Bretzfield who bet the pot. Bronshtien then declared all in as well, putting Bretzfield at risk for his last 325,000. Bretzfield made the call as the hands were turned over.

Samuel Baldinger: A♥K♣9♥6♣2♥ All in
Matthew Bretzfield: A♠A♦J♠4♥2♠ All in
Yuval Bronshtein: A♣10♦7♠5♠2♦

There were two players at risk and when the board ran out 9♣ on the turn and 6♠ on the river. It was Brohnshtein with the best high hand with a straight in the side pot, and Bretzfield and Bronshtien chopped the low hand, both holding ace-deuce.

For the main pot it was Baldinger with a full house to take the high hand, and all three players were holding ace-deuce for the low.
