Stauffer Ends Hunt's Tournament Run

Erick Torres

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The chips got all in preflop between Victor Stauffer on the button and Ronald Hunt in the small blind, with Hunt at risk for his tournament.

Ronald Hunt: A♥K♥ All in
Victor Stauffer: 5♠3♣

Hunt held the lead before the race, but Stauffer hit his pair on the 2♦J♣3♠. The Q♠ kept Hunt drawing with straight outs, but the 5♥ was not what Hunt was searching for as he headed to the exit.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jeffrey Yarchever went all in for his last 120,000 and was easily called by Richard Jutte.

Jeffrey Yarchever: J♦J♥ All in
Richard Jutte: A♥A♦

The flop scrolled across 10♥9♥4♥ and Yarchever started rooting for a jack before the 4♦ paired the board.

The river brought the 4♣ and Yarchever was thwarted.

"Well, you did improve to a [full] house," needled one of Yarchever's tablemates, while he lamented running into aces off such a short stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sammy Farha raised from middle position, and when action folded around to Scott Michaelson in the small blind, he moved all in for 135,000. The big blind got out of the way, but Farha made the call.

Scott Michaelson: K♦Q♣ All in
Sammy Farha: 10♦9♦

Michaelson celebrated as the flop came down Q♦3♦3♠, before the table informed him that Farha had a flush draw and there were still two more cards to come.

The turn 2♠ was safe, though, as was the A♠, and Michaelson was then able to continue his celebrations as the dealer pushed a double-up in his direction.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mayo Morgan shoved for 80,000 from early position. The table folded to Victor Stauffer, who isolated with a jam for 465,000.

Mayo Morgan: A♥6♥ All in
Victor Stauffer: 10♠10♣

Morgan called for hearts, but he received a different welcome sight when the K♥K♦A♦ flop came out.

The 3♦ turn was of no consequence, and the A♣ river upgraded Morgan to full house.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Marcelo Bottino went all in for just over 200,000 and Larry Lewis called from the blind for his last 35,000.

Larry Lewis: A♠J♦ All in
Marcelo Bottino: K♦6♦

The board ran out 5♠K♠5♣9♥8♠ and Bottino pushed his king up in victory. Lewis took a moment to come to terms with his elimination and gather his belongings before leaving the tournament area.

Erick Torres

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The hand began when Jacques Daigle shipped it for his final 85,000 from under the gun. The table folded around to Lea Wolfe, who called from the button to put Daigle at risk.

Jacques Daigle: K♥Q♣ All in
Lea Wolfe: A♠J♠

It was a coin flip as they headed to the runout, but Wolfe pushed Daigle closer to the edge when the flop came 4♥9♦2♣.

Wolfe took one final bite out of Daigle when the A♦ turn sealed the deal as the 7♦ peeled off on the river to officially end the hand.

Swanson Double Through Gates

Claudio Elizalde

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Just Before the Break:

James Casement raised preflop and was called by Marc Ginsberg, Thomas Swanson, and Daniel Gates.

Four ways to the 9♦K♥Q♣ saw Gates take the initiative and bet 60,000. Only Swanson called.

The turn paired the board with the 9♠ and Gates continued for 125,000. Swanson responded with an all in for 324,000 and Gates snap-called.

Thomas Swanson: J♠10♠ All in
Daniel Gates: A♣K♦

Gates needed a king or nine to defeat Swanson's straight but the 4♦ awarded a massive pot to Swanson, seeing his stack swell to nearly a million.

The very next hand, Gates jammed over an open from Marc Ginsberg and got it through to chip back up a bit.
