Rockets for Eslanafiri

Stewart Morrison

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was joined with a flop K♥K♠7♠ already showing, and roughly 20,000 in the pot.

Timothy Lane had a bet of 9,000 in front of him, and Said Elsanafiri check-raised from the big blind all in for 38,500,. This sent Lane deep into the tank. After carefully considering the situation, Lane made the call, only to be shown the bad news.

Said Elsanafiri: A♥A♣ All in
Timothy Lane: Q♠Q♥

There was a show of joy from Elsanafari when the board ran out the 3♦ and the J♥, ensuring he stayed in the tournament and with a healthy stack to boot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Reza Jaberi made it 5,500 to go from the hijack and Connel Shelton jammed for around 70,000 from the big blind. Jaberi let out a big sigh, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head. After looking back at his cards, he put in the call.

Connel Shelton: A♣Q♣ All in
Reza Jaberi: Q♥Q♦

Jaberi was in the lead with his premium pocket pair and looked poised to send Shelton to the rail. The board of 7♦10♠2♥8♦8♠ was clean for Jaberi's pocket queens, and Shelton was out.

Whitt Doubles Through Rothberg

Stewart Morrison

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was joined as Leo Whitt had his remaining stack of 45,500 all in preflop versus Gregg Rothberg.

Leo Whitt: A♦Q♠ All in
Gregg Rothberg: K♣K♦

Whitt was behind and at risk but received instant service on the 6♣A♠J♥ flop.

The turn Q♥ improved Whitt to two pair, but gave Rothberg some new ways to win the pot.

The river 7♠ was not one of those ways, though, and Whitt scored the full double up.

Leo Whitt	93,500 28,000	28,000
Gregg Rothberg	90,000 68,500	68,500

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lea Wolfe shoved from early position for 33,000. The table folded all the way around to Alfred Ahlm in the big blind, who counted out the chips while he pondered his decision before he elected to call.

Lea Wolfe: A♥K♠ All in
Alfred Ahlm: A♠J♥

Wolfe held the lead and received an even more dominant flop when it came 6♥K♥3♥ to give Wolfe top pair and the flush draw. The 7♠ turn and the 3♠ river did not offer any drama as Wolfe doubled.

Alfred Ahlm	76,000 25,000	25,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads up on a board reading 10♥4♠3♥K♠7♣, Abraham Obeid placed a bet of 15,000.

Bruce Schlichting didn't take too long before declaring all in and pushing forward his 61,500. Obeid wasted no time and called.

Schlichting tabled 5♥6♥ for the rivered straight and a frustrated Obeid flashed the K♦3♦ (two pair) to the table before asking what he owed.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Makoto Katayama pushed his final 32,000 across the line from early position with only Christian Wallmuth calling from the cutoff.

Makoto Katayama: A♥8♥ All in
Christian Wallmuth: K♥K♦

Katayama moved ahead on the A♣2♥7♣ flop as he paired his ace. The Q♠ dropped on the turn, and only a king on the river would end Katayama. The K♠ fell on the river to give Wallmuth a set and all of Katayama's chips.

Erick Torres

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jose Rosenkrantz opted to push all his chips in from middle position for 31,000. The table folded to Shaun Tobin in the small blind, who put in his last 4,500 to put himself at risk.

Shuan Tobin: 9♦6♦ All in
Jose Rosenkrantz: Q♣Q♠

Tobin flopped some life when the 9♣7♦7♠ flop gave him a pair to work with. The 10♣ turn expanded his outs by giving him straight outs to survive, but the 4♥ river spelled Tobin's demise as it sent him to the exit.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Steven Abramowitz raised to 7,000 from early position with Joseph Hernon calling out of the small blind, and Marcelo Bottino defending his big blind.

Hernon led out for 7,000 on the 6♦7♦5♣ flop, which only Bottino called.

The K♥ appeared on the turn and Hernon decided to check-call a bet of 10,000 from Bottino.

Both players checked the 10♦ river and Hernon turned over 4♥4♣ for an underpair to the board. Bottino had that beat with K♦9♥ for a pair of kings, and the pot was pushed to him.

Marcelo Bottino	245,000 4,500	4,500
Joseph Hernon	162,000 78,000	78,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Allen McLean went all in for 27,500 from the button and David Sparks, who started the hand on fumes, made the call in the big blind.

David Sparks: J♦7♠ All in
Allen McLean: 8♥3♦

The flop gave McLean a sweat as the 10♥5♥6♥ singed the table. Sparks' flame was put out when the K♥ snapped off. The river completed with the superfluous 2♥.
