Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With just a few players to go until the money, on a flop of J♥10♦6♥, Stanley Solis checked from the big blind and Mansour Alipourfard bet 12,000 from the button. Solis didn't take long to come in with a check-raise to 37,000.

Alipourfard went into the tank for quite some time. After doing some inventory and looking over at Solis' stack, Alipourfard opted to fold and surrender the pot to Solis.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mansour Alipourfard	500,000 40,000	40,000

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David Litt was all in for his last few chips from the big blind against Danny Lindsey.

David Litt: 9♥6♦ All in
Danny Lindsey: J♥J♦

Litt looked likely to bust as he was up against an overpair. The 6♠7♣8♦ flop gave Litt a lot of outs with two cards to come. The 4♠ turn didn't change anything, but the 9♠ river improved Litt to two pair, keeping him in the tournament on the money bubble.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Lindsey	210,000 167,500	167,500
David Litt	13,000 109,000	109,000

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Victor Spadaro had lost nearly all his chips in the previous hand, losing a flip with Ax10x versus an opponent's 4x4x, with his opponent turning a straight.

With just 1,000 left, Spadaro committed it when Jeffrey Bryan raised under the gun to 9,000. All other players folded, and the cards were turned face up.

Victor Spadaro: 10♣7♣ All in
Jeffrey Bryan: J♥10♥

Spadaro was given some hope on the Q♣4♣3♦ flop with a flush draw, but the turn 2♠ and river 9♦ didn't save him, as he vacated his seat and headed for the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeffrey Bryan	148,000 92,000	92,000

"I wanted a call! Please call, please call, please call," said Hess, as he stacked his chips.

The very next hand, Brenda Breit went all in for 25,000 and after the table folded, Fernando Brito let her know that he folded ace-queen.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a board of 4♠J♦A♣10♦, Axel Werner shoved for 77,000 from the small blind over a bet of Jean Pasqualini from early position. Pasqualini called, and the cards were revealed.

Axel Werner: K♠Q♥ All in
Jean Pasqualini: 10♠10♣

Pasqualini turned a set, but was behind the Broadway straight of Werner. The 7♥ on the river didn't bring the board-pair Pasqualini was looking for, and most of his chips were sent over to Werner.

Player	Chips	Progress
Axel Werner	160,000 92,500	92,500
Jean Pasqualini	95,000 121,500	121,500
