Level 23 : Limits 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 15,000-30,000
Limits: 30,000-60,000

Michael Krescanko Jr raised from under the gun and Andrew Brown three-bet in the cutoff. Krescanko four-bet shoved when action folded back to him and Brown called.

Both players drew one on the first draw, with Brown standing pat on the following two draws and Krascanko drawing one each time.

"I have a seven," Brown said after the third draw.

Krescanko shook his head.

"That means I'm dead," he lamented as the hands were tabled.

Michael Krescanko Jr: 8♣5♦A♥ Xx All in
Andrew Brown: 7♦4♠3♥2♣

Brown had locked up the pot, leaving Krescanko to peel the inconsequential final card of a 7♥. The WSOP bracelet winner raked in the pot while Krescanko Jr exited the tournament area.

Blinds: 15,000-30,000

Ray Fishman raised on the button, and Matthew Schreiber defended in the big blind. Each player drew two cards on the first draw, after which Schreiber led out and Fishman called.

Schreiber improved to a one-card draw, while Fishman still took two. Schreiber bet again, Fishman called, and each changed one card on the final draw, after which they checked it to showdown.

Schreiber tabled 4♦3♠A♣Xx for a three-card four, which pipped Fishman's 5♦2♠A♥Xx and took down the pot.

A couple of hands later, Fishman raised in the small blind and saw Anthony Arvidson call in the big blind. Fishman drew one card, seeing Arvidson draw two.

Arvidson called Fishman's subsequent bet and drew one card after Fishman had done so first. This slowed Fishman down, as he check-called a bet from Arvidson before the final draw.

Fishman still needed one card, but Arvidson stood pat. The players then checked it showdown, and Arvidson's K♠6♣2♦A♥ badugi was good enough to win the pot.

Brian Tate raised on the button and in the small blind, Jonathan Glendinning three-bet which Tate called.

Glendinning stood pat and bet while Tate drew one and called.

On the second draw Glendinning stood pat again and he bet which saw Tate call again after he drew one.

The final draw saw Glendinning stand pat again while Tate drew one. Glendinning bet and Tate raised, prompting a sigh call from Glendinning.

Tate tabled 8♦5♣4♥3♠ for an eight-five and it was good for the pot.

Limits: 30,000-60,000

Matthew Schreiber raised from the cutoff, and Jonathan Glendinning called in the small blind. Ray Fishman then moved all in from the big blind with a full raise, which both Schreiber and Glendinning called.

Each player took one card on the first draw. Glendinning and Schreiber forewent the option to create a side pot, and everyone took one more card.

Glendinning checked again, after which Schreiber bet. Glendinning quickly folded, Fishman drew one on the final draw, and Schreiber stood pat.

Ray Fishman: 7♥2♦A♠ All in
Matthew Schreiber: 5♠3♦2♥

Fishman needed a club, and he got one with the A♣, but it paired him up. Schreiber's received 10♦ made no difference as the start-of-day chip leader was sent home just before the two-table redraw.
