Heidenthal Doubles Up with Snowmen

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up with two players all in — Jason Heidenthal, under the gun and at risk, against Christopher Zollo in the small blind.

Jason Heidenthal: 88 All in
Christopher Zollo: AK

The flop came 765, keeping Heidenthal ahead with his pocket eights. The runout 106 changed nothing, securing the double-up for Heidenthal.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Claudio Elizalde
Claudio Elizalde

With around 2,500 in the pot on a flop of J106, Claudio Elizalde shoved from the small blind for 3,300 and was instantly called by Jeffrey Lies out of the big blind. Carl McDonald called from the button and they went to the turn.

With Elizalde all in, the dealer burned a card and then put out the A on the turn. Lies shoved for McDonald's remaining 15,000, forcing McDonald to fold.

Claudio Elizalde: 65 All in
Jeffrey Lies: KQ

Elizalde was drawing dead with bottom pair against the turned Broadway straight of Lies. An irrelevant 4 came on the river to cement Elizalde's elimination from the tournament.

Halama once again checked on the 2 turn. Doss put Halama all in and was quickly called.

Skyler Halama: AQ All in

Bushre Capitalizes on Scary River

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a flop of 757 with about 4,500 in the pot, Jesse Knight led out for 2,000 from the big blind and was called by Tanya Bushre in the cutoff.

The turn brought the 5, double-pairing the board. Knight kept the pressure on with another bet of 2,000, and Bushre called again.

When the 10 hit the river, completing potential flush draws, Knight slowed down and checked. Sensing an opening, Bushre fired 5,000, enough to force a fold from Knight and take down the pot.

Action began when Monty Kristoff raised to 2,000 from early position and was called the next seat over by Daniel Perruzzi and Thomes Phomphakdy from the blind.

Kristoff elected to lead out 10,000 on the 5 river, putting Perruzzi to a decision. Perruzzi mulled over his situation before deciding on a call.

Kristoff rolled over 55 for a rivered full house. Perruzzi did not show as he sent his cards into the muck.
