Ziemer Survives!

Stewart Morrison

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

Action folded to Serge Didisheim in the small blind, who already had 2,000 in the middle. Katherine Ziemer was already forced all in for just 1,500 from the big blind, so the players turned their cards over.

Katherine Ziemer: J♣10♥ All in
Serge Didisheim: Q♥6♦

The flop A♦A♣10♣ came to Ziemer's rescue, giving her two pair.

When the turn 8♠ and river 3♦ were revealed, Ziemer still had the best hand and lived to fight another orbit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Serge Didisheim	425,000 295,000	295,000
Katherine Ziemer	4,500 1,500	1,500

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

Tom McCormick shoved under the gun for 7,000 with James Casement calling from the small blind, and Randy Buck calling out of the big blind.

The A♦Q♦10♠ flop was checked through for the J♦ to appear on the turn. Casement checked, and then folded after Buck bet 8,000.

Tom McCormick: K♦K♥ All in
Randy Buck: K♠2♠

Both players had a straight, so McCormick was guaranteed to remain in the tournament. However, if McCormick hit a diamond on the river, he would win the pot. The 10♣ rolled off on the river, and the two players chopped the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Randy Buck	90,000 58,000	58,000
James Casement	60,000 27,500	27,500
Tom McCormick	9,000 2,500	2,500

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

Golden Nugget pulled the plug on a $1,200 buy-in, $1 million guarantee after the Grand Poker Series tournament had already begun Wednesday morning.

The Las Vegas card room would inevitably cancel the tournament and refund all players after receiving criticism from those who'd entered and expected to be playing for a seven-figure prize pool.

PokerNews spoke with the poker room's Director of Poker Operations, Joel Garcia, and a player who entered the tournament, David Mcconachie, to find out what happened.

Frank Edwards committed his last 2,000 on a flop of A♠Q♦10♥ and was put at risk by Marc Ginsberg.

Frank Edwards: 8♣6♠ All in
Marc Ginsberg: J♥4♥

The board completed with the 3♥ and 9♣ and Edwards was eliminated from the tournament.

At another table, three players were all-in on a board that read 4♦K♥4♠J♠Q♥.

David Edwards showed A♥K♥ for top pair, but Stan Jablonski revealed 10♦4♣ for trip fours to the disappointment of Richard Bonde who was at risk and showed 8♥8♦.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rudijanto Soetikno raised to 12,000 from early position with only Brenda Breit calling from the big blind.

Upson seeing the 7♣10♦3♠ flop, Breit jammed for 21,000. Soetikno called.

Brenda Breit: Q♦3♣ All in
Rudijanto Soetikno: A♣Q♥

Breit was ahead with her pair of treys, and she managed to stay in the lead on the 5♥ turn and K♥ river, meaning she earned the full double-up.

Brenda Breit	70,000 37,000	37,000
Rudijanto Soetikno	50,000 45,500	45,500

Topsy Turvy Hand

Erick Torres

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Bret Hansen went all-in for 93,000 and was covered by Rassoul Malboubi, who called to send the two to a showdown with Hansen at risk.

Bret Hansen: 9♦9♠ All in
Rassoul Malboubi: A♥Q♠

Hansen was ahead before the runout, but the A♦K♥3♥ flop vaulted Malboubi into the lead. It looked grim for Hansen, but he struck one of his outs when the 9♥ came on the turn to hit a set of nines.

This jubilation of spiking a set would not last, however, as the J♥ river gave Malboubi a flush on the river to score the knockout.
