Frank Visser

Level 12

Chris Brewer: 9♥7♥/J♥8♥A♦K♠/Xx All in
Julien Martini: 5♠5♦/8♠5♣K♦10♣/10♦

Chris Brewer completed and Julien Martini made the call. Martini then called Brewer's bet on fourth street before raising him all in on fifth street. Brewer called for his tournament life and the cards went open.

Martini had made trips, while Brewer was sitting on a straight flush draw. Sixth street did not help brewer, and Martini made a full house on seventh to leave Brewer with one out to hit.

He failed to do so and quickly headed to the exit of the Horseshoe Event Center.

Level 12

Daniel Mayoh: XxXx/2♦6♣Q♦ - folded fifth street
Mike Lang: XxXx/J♦7♦4♥Q♥/Xx
Chad Eveslage: XxXx/4♠Q♠4♣J♥/Xx

Daniel Mayoh brought in with a deuce before Mike Lang completed with a jack. Chad Eveslage came along with a four up, and Mayoh called as well.

The action then checked to Lang on fourth street, and he tossed in a bet, receiving two calls.

Eveslage paired his door card on fifth street and decided to lead out, causing Mayoh to fold and Lang to call. Lang also called a bet on sixth street before Eveslage bet again on seventh street.

This time, Lang tossed out a raise. Eveslage quickly called and Lang tabled 10♣9♦8♥ for a straight to the queen. Eveslage let out an expletive before mucking his cards and paying the extra bet he owed.
