Kincaid Spikes Eight

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

Manuel Fritz raised from under the gun to 40,000, was called by John Kincaid in the cutoff, and Thomas Boivin on the button. Sean Winter, from the small blind, raised to 500,000. He was only called by Kincaid.

John Kincaid: 88 All in
Sean Winter: A10

The runout came K32108 and Kincaid found the double with a miracle eight ball in the corner pocket. Sean Winter busted shortly after taking this tough beat on the chin.

Ace High is Good Enough

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

Taylor Von Kriegenbergh raised to 45,000 on the button, and only Ramiro Salinas called, defending his big blind.

Salinas checked the J65 flop, but called when Von Kriegenbergh continued for 50,000.

Von Kriegenbergh turned up the heat on the 3 turn, betting 200,000 when checked to. Undeterred, Salinas called.

The river K caused both players to hit the brakes, and the river checked through.

"I missed", said Von Kriegenbergh, but fortunately for him, so did Salinas.

Salinas turned over 84 for a missed straight draw, and Von Kriegenbergh won the pot with ace-high, tabling A10 for a missed flush draw.

Chidwick Pulls the Trigger and Gets Paid

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

There were roughly 260,000 chips in the pot when Danny Tang bet 85,000 on a flop 26K from the big blind, Stephen Chidwick called on the button.

Tang decided to check when the 8 was dealt on the turn, and Chidwick shoved the rest of his 275,000 stack in to the middle. Tang used two time banks before he made the call.

Stephen Chidwick: K10 All in
Danny Tang: AQ

Chidwick's pair of kings was best, and he held on when the 5 landed on the river.

River Keeps Kenney Afloat

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

Alex Foxen raised in early position to 30,000, and, next to act, Jesse Lonis called. Action then folded to Bryn Kenney in the big blind, who moved all in for 110,000. Foxen then four-bet to 190,000, and Lonis called again.

Foxen continued for 110,000 on a 244 flop and Lonis folded.

Bryn Kenney: 99 All in
Alex Foxen: A6

Foxen was behind but had plenty of outs, and it didn't take him long to find one. The turn A moved him into the lead and left Kenney with just two outs to keep his seat in the tournament.

Fortunately for Kenney, the deck was kind, as the river came the 9, improving him to a full house and giving him the full triple-up.

Boivin Leaves Kenney Short

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Thomas Boivin
Thomas Boivin

Bryn Kenney was a recent entrant into the event, and was active early on raising to 35,000 from under the gun. Thomas Boivin called from the button.

On the 3510 flop, Kenney continued for 35,000 and was called. On the 4 turn, Kenney fired out another 45,000. Again, Boivin called.

Kenney slowed down with a check when the 6 completed the board. Boivin bet 500,000 which was for most of Kenney's stack.

The all-time money list leader mulled over his options for some time, before electing on a call.

Boivin tabled 75 for a straight, to leave Kenney visibly frustrated.
