Schulman Outdraws Bonyadi

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 3,500 ante

Ryan Hoenig raised to 5,000 in the cutoff. Nick Schulman made it 15,000 to go on the button before Farzad Bonyadi cold-called in the big blind.

Hoenig got out of the way, after which Bonyadi and Schulman both drew one card. Bonyadi checked it over, and Schulman checked behind after some thought.

Bonyadi flashed a Qx, prompting Schulman to table 10x8x6x5x3x to rake in the chips.

Stamm Seeks Exit After Doubling Soverel

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 3,500 ante

David Stamm had opened under the gun, after which Sam Soverel moved all in from the cutoff for 29,500. Stamm made the call and drew one card, with Soverel also taking one in response.

Sam Soverel: 8x7x5x3x All in
David Stamm: 7x6x4x3x

Soverel caught a 2x to make an eight, and Stamm got an 8x to also make an eight-low. Soverel's eight was lower, however, and he doubled up to get above the starting stack.

Stamm was left with about 13 big blinds, which he lost the very next hand to be eliminated.

Glaser then moved all in, and Lang called for his last 38,500. "You're good," Glaser told him as he showed 7x7x5x5x3x. Lang turned over 9x8x6x4x2x to win the pot and double up.

Dario Sammartino

Dario Sammartino open-shoved for 34,000 under the gun and patted his hand when Jason Daly called him on the button.

After some thought, Daly remained pat behind and tabled 9x8x5x4x3x. Sammartino could not beat the nine-low of his opponent and returned his cards to the muck face down before leaving the tournament area.

At another table, Mike Wattel had shoved for 12,500 from middle position, Philip Long reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table got out of the way. "Not much," Wattel said as they each drew one.

Mike Wattel: 9x8x7x5x All in
Philip Long: 9x7x3x2x

Long drew a Kx, while Wattel caught a 6x to make a straight and was sent to the rail.

Weiss Pats to Triple Up

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Oscar Johansson raised in the hijack, and Frank Kassela flat-called on the button. Dennis Weiss then pushed in his stack of 20,000 from the big blind, seeing Johansson call.

Kassela had other plans, however, and four-bet. Johansson quickly folded, leaving a confused Weiss to tank for a bit before patting. Kassela drew one card, and the players tabled their hands.

Dennis Weiss: 10x8x6x3x2x All in
Frank Kassela: 6x4x3x2x

Kassela received a Jx, meaning Weiss held to triple up to the starting stack.

"Huh, broke a jack, got a jack," Kassela stated.
