O'Kearney Survives

Stewart Morrison

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

When action folded around to Dara O'Kearney on the button, he moved all in for 17,000. The small blind got out of the way, but the big blind, David Williams, took some time to think before making the call.

Dara O'Kearney: A♦7♦ All in
David Williams: K♣10♥

O'Kearney's ace-high remained the best hand on the 2♣9♥6♣ flop, and he improved to a pair on the 7♠ turn.

The turn card had given Williams more ways to win, but the river 9♣ wasn't one of them, and O'Kearney pulled in the double-up.

The chips went in preflop when John Mcneal jammed from early position for his final 13,000 and was called by Richard Dinunzio.

John Mcneal: A♦K♠ All in
Richard Dinunzio: A♠Q♦

Mcneal held a dominant lead with the better ace, and the runout was safe for Mcneal as it came J♣7♠2♥3♣8♠ to award Mcneal the double.

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

From under the gun, Loyd Vaughn raised to 10,000. Russell Fox jammed out of the big blind for 40,000, which was instantly called by Vaughn.

Russell Fox: Q♥Q♣ All in
Loyd Vaughn: A♦9♦

Fox was ahead with his queens, but Vaughn picked up a flush draw on the 7♠8♦7♦ flop. The A♠ turn left Fox needing a queen on the river to stay alive. The 6♥ fell, and Fox was out.

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

After seeing two players limp in early position, James Randash moved all in for 11,500. Action folded back to Gregory Schindler, who made the call, and the second limper got out of the way.

James Randash: A♠Q♣ All in
Gregory Schindler: K♣10♠

The flop kept Randash in the lead, coming 8♣J♦J♥, but the turn K♥ saw Schindler pull ahead.

The river was unable to save Randash, as the 6♦ was revealed, and he headed towards the exit.

Claudio Elizalde

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

Three ways to a flop of J♥6♦4♥ and Gerald Trass checked and Adam Jerney placed a bet of 6,000. Randy Green folded in between and Trass made the call.

The turn turn peeled the 7♣ and both players checked.

Trass took the initiative on the 9♣ and bet 11,000. After some deliberation, Jerney made the call but mucked his hand when Trass tabled J♣9♦ for two pair.

Gerald Trass	104,500 15,000	15,000

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Shannon Romero began with a limp from the cutoff before Timothy Joseph raised to 8,000 from the button. Romero called to take the two to a flop.

The flop came A♣6♦Q♦, which led to a check from Romero. Joseph bet 5,000 and Romero opted to raise to 10,000. Joseph called to see a turn.

When the 5♥ turn peeled off, Romero bet 10,000, but Joseph responded with an all-in for 35,000. Romero folded to end the hand.

Tim Baker

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three players saw the flop come down 9♣10♣3♣. After a check from middle position, Patrick Oravec jammed for 25,000 out of the hijack. David Valone was the only caller on the button, and the cards were turned over.

Patrick Oravec: J♥J♦ All in
David Valone: A♦Q♣

Oravec had an overpair against the overcards and flush draw of Valone. The 8♣ on the turn improved Valone to a flush, leaving Oravec drawing dead. An inconsequential 2♥ appeared on the river, and Oravec headed to the rail.

Kicker Issues for Zaik

Erick Torres

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was approximately 35,000 in the pot when the flop fanned out Q♠K♠2♣. Joseph Zaik checked before Kondler bet 16,500. Zaik opted to jam for 45,500 and was called by Kondler, who had him covered.

Joseph Zaik: K♣J♣ All in
Raymond Kondler: A♣K♦

The 8♠ turn and the 5♠ river did not deliver an out for Zaik to send him out of the tournament.
