Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ben Lamb opened from the hijack to 85,000 and Shaun Deeb called from the button.

On a 9♦6♠2♥ flop, Lamb bet 125,000 and Deeb called.

The A♣ turn card was followed by two checks.

On a 9♣ river, Lamb bet 200,000 and asked Deeb, "Are you ever raising?" Deeb said no, and Lamb got up to check his computer. As he was leaving his chair, Deeb fired in the call, was shown Q♠10♠10♥9♠, and mucked.

Pot-Limit Omaha

With the tournament still on the bubble, Robert Cowen opened the button to 50,000 and only Bryce Yockey called from the big blind.

Yockey elected to check-raise on a flop of 10♥8♦J♠ from 45,000 to 200,000, and Cowen called.

Yockey continued to bet on the 9♦ turn, and again for 200,000. Cowen called again.

The river J♦ slowed the action down as both players checked. However, it seemed Yockey was setting the trap when he turned over the rivered straight flush, showing down Q♦J♣10♦9♥.

Cowen mucked his hand, and Yockey scooped the pot.

Ben Tollerene raised to 50,000 on the button and Brandon Mitchell reraised to 250,000 from the small blind. Tollerene called and the dealer fanned the flop of A♥8♦3♦. Mitchell led out with a bet of 125,000 and Tollerene matched him.

The turn was the K♦ and both players checked to the 7♥ on the river. Mitchell pushed out a bet of 560,000 and Tollerene used one of his time banks before electing to lay his hand down.

David Coleman slid his 260,000 chips into the middle from the cutoff two away from the money. Ben Tollerene called from the big blind.

David Coleman: 8♣8♦ All in
Ben Tollerene: A♥J♦

The runout of Q♥J♣4♥6♣3♠ improved Tollerene and was the demise of Coleman. The players are now on the stone bubble, one elimination away from a min-cash of $50,829.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Bryce Yockey raised it up in early position and George Wolff three-bet from the small blind. Yockey just called and Wolff was left with just 10,000 going to a flop of A♦5♥4♣. The last of the chips went in the middle and the cards were face up.

George Wolff: A♥A♣8♣2♥ All in
Bryce Yockey: 9♦8♠6x6x

Wolff flopped a set of aces and Yockey was left looking for a seven to make a straight. The J♠ on the turn and the 10♥ on the river bricked out, allowing Wolff to survive the bubble for now.

Level 17 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jason Koon raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and Brandon Mitchell defended from the big blind. The flop fell K♣Q♠9♣ and both players checked to the 5♠ on the turn. Mitchell led out with a bet of 60,000 and Koon called.

The river was the A♣ and Mitchell announced all in, putting Koon to the test for his remaining 210,000. A crowd gathered around the table but Koon decided to send his cards to the muck. Mitchell proceeded to show his 10♠10♣9♦6♦ for just a pair of tens, using the bubble to pressure his opponents.

No-Limit Hold'em

John Hennigan opened to 40,000 in middle position and Michael Moncek just called in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind which got Hennigan to fold. Moncek, however, quickly shoved all in for 990,000 and Chidwick eventually called.

Michael Moncek: K♥Q♦ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 9♣9♦

The flop came J♥5♥3♦ and Chidwick was still out front with his pair of nines. The 10♦ on the turn gave Moncek a straight draw and the A♣ on the river completed it, earning him a big double up on the money bubble.

Barakat Putting the Pressure On

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

With the tournament still on the bubble, Youness Barakat raised to 60,000 in the cutoff. Only Zhargal Tsydypov called from the big blind.

Tsydypov check-called a bet of 55,000 on the 10♦A♣J♠ flop, only for Barakat to fire again on the 8♣ turn. This time for a hefty 190,000, which was enough to make Tsydypov fold his hand.
