Cheung Bangs on Brannan Again

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

James Cheung and Frank Brannan have battled a couple of times today, with Cheung getting the best of it in a big pot earlier.

This time we grab the action with Brannan making a pot-sized raise of 324,000 chips on a full board reading Q76104.

Cheung spent a long time considering his options, stacking and restacking his chips, until finally he made the call.

"You got it," Brannan said, before even seeing the cards.

Brannan showed K1095 for just a pair of tens. Cheung had 10865 for an eight-high straight.

It was a crushing blow to Brannan, who had only 72,000 chips after the hand.

Eric Cloutier: AJ108 All in
Kyle Rosnes: JJ108

The board ran out K4Q55 and Rosnes' two pair, jacks and fives sent Cloutier to the rail.

Demirel Cracks Aces to Double Up

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tolga Demirel raised to 42,000 on the button and Frank Brannan three-bet to 132,000 in the big blind. Demirel then four-bet jammed for 214,00 total to put himself at risk and Brannan quickly called.

Tolga Demirel: AK97 All in
Frank Brannan: AA108

Demirel pulled ahead on the J5K flop with the nut flush. The 7 turn and 6 river offered no help to Brannan and the pot was pushed Demirel's way.

Gutshot Comes Through

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kyle Knecht raised from the hijack to 30,000, and Benny Chen made the call from the cutoff. Everyone else folded, and the flop came out with KQ7. Knecht checked, and Chen made it 50,000. Knecht did not hesitate and moved all in for his last 217,000. Chen made the call and was ahead on the flop with his set of kings, and Knecht held a pair of aces and a gutshot draw to the straight.

Kyle Knecht: KKQ3 All in
Benny Chen: AA109

The turn brought a straight for Knecht with the J, and the river 8 sealed the deal, and Knecht won the pot.

Movement Among Chip Leaders

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dylan Weisman has had the biggest jump of the day, more than doubling his stack through the first level and a half of play.

Conversely, John Riordan, the chip leader entering the day, has lost half of his.

Zhen Chen, second in chips coming in, is down nearly 1,000,000 from his overnight total. He lost much of it to a full house in this hand. Benny Zhen, who was third, has gained just a tad.

Essad Shows Top Set

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action picked up on a flop of 2KQ in a hand between Zachary Fischer who was under the gun and Ernest Essad in the hijack.

Fischer led out with a bet of 35,000 and Essad made it 165,000 to go. Fischer made the call and the turn landed the 6.

Fischer checked and Essad bet 390,000, enough to put Fischer all in, who reluctantly tossed his cards into the muck.

Essad tabled KK for three of a kind, kings.

Both players checked the turn 3 and the river 8.

McLean announced, "I have an eight", and mucked when Adcock showed the AJJ8 for a higher pair and the win.

Wong Avoids Knockout

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Danny Wong waited until the clock was called before pushing his final couple chips into a threeway, with two all-in pot. His pause was for a potential pay jump if others were eliminated before him. Turns out the wait was unecessary.

Eric Pfenning: KK62All in
Danny Wong: AQQ10All in
Juan Caridad: AQJ10

The runout of 768JJ favored Wong, who landed an ace-high flush on the flop to take the main pot. Caridads jack-high flush was good enough to snare the side pot, and eliminate Pfenning.
