Oconnell Spikes an Ace to Crack Toro's Cowboys

Tim Baker

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

From an early position, John Oconnell jammed for 107,000, and was snap-called by Istvan Toro out of the small blind.

John Oconnell: A♥5♥ All in
Istvan Toro: K♣K♠

Oconnell needed to find an ace or some hearts to win. The flop of 2♠A♣9♥ catapulted Oconnell into the lead with top pair. The 3♥ turn and 5♠ river didn't help Toro, and most of his chips were sent over to Oconnell.

Grandin Runs into Aces

Erick Torres

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

David Grandin chose to shove against the raise of Ronnie Duvall and was called to set up a showdown preflop.

David Grandin: A♥Q♣ All in
Ronnie Duvall: A♠A♣

Grandin's prospects were grim, and the flop of 6♠10♥5♥ offered slim pickings. The J♣ offered a glimmer of hope for a straight draw, but the 7♥ river closed the door on any comeback and eliminated Grandin.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Four players saw the flop come out 9♠5♥7♠. Steven Stolzmann bet 40,000 from under the gun and only Lyle Diamond called from the big blind.

After Diamond checked the 10♦ turn, Stolzmann jammed for 73,000. Diamond quickly called to put Stolzmann at risk.

Steven Stolzmann: J♥J♦ All in
Lyle Diamond: 9♦6♣

Stolzmann was ahead with his overpair against the top pair and straight draw of Diamond. The Q♣ fell on the river and Stolzmann doubled up with his jacks.

The Game Played in Good Spirit

Stewart Morrison

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was joined as Stan Jablonski moved his 165,000 stack into the middle, and, after a taking some time to think, Ted Cohen made the call.

Stan Jablonski: 10♠10♦ All in
Ted Cohen: A♣K♥

Jablonksi asked Cohen why he took so long to call, but the exchange was in good spirits. Cohen advised that he wasn't ready to go home yet because he doesn't get to play often.

The signs looked good for Cohen to continue enjoying the tournament when the flop came down 5♥3♣A♠.

The turn 6♥ and river 7♦ kept Cohen in the lead, and the two players exchanged a laugh and a chat before Jablonski headed to the exit.
