Ripper Spins it Up

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

Wagner Ripper just doubled up the hand before and decided to stick his chips in yet again when he jammed for 44,000 from early position. Andrew Soehnlen opted to shove for more to isolate Ripper. The rest of the table folded to send Soehnlen and Ripper to a showdown.

Wagner Ripper: A10All in
Andrew Soehnlen: QQ

Ripper needed help to stay in the tournament, and the flop brought none as it came 3K2.

Ripper's prospects were looking bleak when the A rolled off on the turn to save the day. The J river did not aid Soehnlen as Ripper doubled.

Double Trouble on the Bubble

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

Two players will be splitting a minimum cash as the bubble bursted with two eliminations in the $2,500 Freezeout.

Anthony Ruberto chose to ship his final 106,000 from early position on the bubble and was called by Gary Hasson from the hijack to put Ruberto at risk.

Anthony Ruberto: AKAll in
Gary Hasson: QQ

It was the classic race between big slick and pocket queens, and it was the queens that prevailed this time as Ruberto was unable to find his outs on the 32599 board to eliminate Ruberto.

At another table, an all-in also occurred when Nicola Karl from the small blind Siegfried Kapeller in the big blind battled in an all-in pot with Kapeller at risk.

Siegfried Kapeller: QQAll in
Nicola Karl: 85

Kapeller held a significant lead over Karl, but the flop was disastrous for Kapeller as it fanned out A85.

The 9 did not help Kapeller's chances of staying alive, and the 7 river sealed his fate as Kapeller shared the bubble with Ruberto.

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

Justin Lapka raised from under the gun to 40,000, and Preston McEwen put most of his chips in, except it was deemed an illegal raise. He then deposited the entire amount of $87,000 from the cutoff. Lapka made the call.

Preston McEwen: KK All in
Justin Lapka: AA

The board worked out exceptionally well for McEwen with 29K4K, and quads would crush the aces.

Graeme Newman: KK All in
Alan Goasdoue: AQ

The board ran out safe for Newman with 710592, and Newman's pair of kings held.

Queen for Kim

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

Wagner Ripper began with an open under the gun for 16,000. It folded to Dohyeok Kim on the button, who chose to call. Anthony Ruberto came along from the big blind to send them to a flop three-handed.

The flop came 310Q, which led to checks from Ruberto and Ripper. Kim chose to fire 16,000 and was met with a call from Ruberto and a fold from Ripper.

Both remaining players checked the 5 turn.

The 7 river led to another check from Ruberto, but Kim chose to bet 57,000. Ruberto thought for some time before he put out a call.

Kim showed QJ, which was good enough as Ruberto mucked his hand.
