Friedman Gets Value from Jett

Level 17

On the first draw, Chip Jett and Adam Friedman each drew two and Jett check-called a bet from Friedman. Both players then drew one and Friedman followed it up with another bet, called by Jett.

On the final draw, Jett drew one and Friedman stood pat. Jett called a final bet from the five-time bracelet winner, but couldn't beat Friedman's 8x7x6x5x3x.

Another One Down

Level 17

A short-stacked Eugene Yanayt was all in and sweating the final draw of his opponent Jong Lim:

Eugene Yanayt: 8x7x6x3x2x All in
Jong Lim: 7x6x5x2x

Lim drew his final card and revealed a picture-perfect 3x to complete a seven. "No!" Yanayt yelled as his tournament came to an end.

Uchida Puts a Dent in Zhu's Stack

Level 17

Shunjiro Uchida raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Yueqi Zhu on the button. Action folded to Uchida, who called.

Both players drew two on the first draw and Uchida led out for a bet, which Zhu called.

On the second draw, Uchida drew one and Zhu took another two off. Zhu again called a bet from Uchida.

Both players drew one on the final round and action checked through. Uchida showed an Ax and Zhu motioned that it was good — prompting Uchida to reveal the 7x6x3x2x behind it. Zhu mucked his hand and Uchida padded his stack.

Woods Squeezes into the Money

Level 17
James Woods
James Woods

Actor James Woods survived the bubble with a mere 13,000 in chips, or two big blinds. In the first hand after the bubble, he got those chips in against Andrew Brown and Alan Bostick, with the latter being all in himself for just 20,000.

Bostick and Brown drew one on the first draw, while Woods drew two. All players drew one on the second draw. Bostick and Brown stood pat on the final draw and Woods drew one.

Bostick showed 9x8x7x5x3x and Brown tabled a rough eight 8x7x6x5x3x to take the lead.

Woods had paired up after the final draw 4x4x8x7x2x and collected $3,004 for his efforts, as did Bostick.

Brenneke Left With a Chip and a Chair

Level 17

Jay Kerbel raised and was three-bet by Alexander Brenneke from the button. The blinds folded and Kerbel called.

Kerbel drew two and Brenneke drew one. Kerbel check-raised the bet from his opponent and Brenneke called.

Kerbel stood pat. Brenneke pondered his decision for a while, so long in fact that Brenneke slid his bet out in anticipation. Brenneke eventually also stood pat.

He then called his opponent's bet and both players stood pat again. Kerbel bet. Brenneke had 17,000 chips behind, so would be left with just 1,000 chips if he called and was wrong. Eventually he did call, but was left with a chip and a chair when Kerbel showed 8x6x5x3x2x

Friedman and Stacey Exchange Crumbs

Level 17

Patrick Stacey raised on the button and Adam Friedman raised all in for his last 14,000 from the small blind. Stacey called, having Friedman slightly covered.

Friedman drew one and Stacey drew two on the first draw. Friedman then remained pat on the second and third while Stacey drew one on each round.

"I have it," Friedman said as he turned over 7x5x4x3x2x for the wheel. Stacey showed Kx8x7x4x2x and was forced to surrender the majority of his chips to Friedman.

Ariel Mantel: 7x6x3x2x All in
Aaron Kupin: 9x8x5x4x3x

Meanwhile, at a neighbouring table, Jon Turner raised blind on blind and Carlos Chang defended his big blind. Turner drew two and Chang drew one.

Turner bet and Chang was all in. Turner then stood pat and Chang drew one. The draws repeated on the end.

Carlos Chang: 8x5x4x3x All in
Jon Turner: 9x8x7x6x4x
