Destephen Takes Down Two

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Benjamin Schneider open jammed for 3,000,000 from middle position and Michael Destephen called putting his remaining 2,050,000 stack at risk from the cutoff. Jeffrey Brown also called off his remaining 1,400,000 chips, taking the players three-ways to showdown.

Jeffrey Brown: A7All in
Michael Destephen: KKAll in
Benjamin Schneider: A10

Destephen took down the pot after seeing the 9JQ108 runout, with the king to the straight, and Brown left the table. Schneider was left with just over four big blinds, and was seen walking away from the tables just a few hands later, also having his tournament life come to an end.

Sarraf Rivers a Two-Pair

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

From middle position, Arash Sarraf opened for 750,000 leaving one 25,000 chip behind. Two seats to his left, Brett Kennedy shoved all-in for 2,025,000 sending Sarraf to the tank. After a few seconds, he threw his last chip in for his tournament life.

Arash Sarraf: KJ All in
Brett Kennedy: AQ

The flop pushed Sarraf ahead when it dropped 4K7. Kennedy hit the turn when it fell Q but still couldn't beat Sarraf's pair. Sarraf's double was sealed by the J falling on the river, which gave him more space to maneuver in the next hands.

Paeper Doubles Through Tatalovich

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded to Kurt Paeper on the button who moved all in for 875,000 and was looked up by Richard Tatalovich in the big blind.

Kurt Paeper: J10 All in
Richard Tatalovich: K5

A dream flop for Paeper of 83A to leave Tatalovich drawing dead. The irrelevant 7 and 8 completed the board and Paeper was shipped the pot for a double up.

Galstyan Gains from Hagerling

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Isaac Hagerling open-jammed for his remaining 3,050,000 from middle position and action folded around to Karapet Galstyan in the big blind. Galstyan asked for a confirmation chip count before calling and putting Hagerling at risk.

Isaac Hagerling: 77All in
Karapet Galstyan: 88

Hagerling had every right to look concerned after seeing his opponents better pocket pair. There was no coming back for him after the dealer fanned the 6Q10 flop, the 9 turn and the 2 river.

Seer Goes Clubbing

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Russell Giordano opened from middle position before Mathew Seer opted to go all-in from the small blind. Giordano called to put Giordano at risk.

Mathew Seer: KQAll in
Russell Giordano: A4

Seer was behind, but the flop gave each player something to work with when it came 67A as Giordano paired his ace and Seer flopped a flush draw.

The 5 turn was a welcome sight for Seer as he improved to a flush to get a lock on the hand.

The inconsequential 6 peeled as Seer dragged in the pot.

Michael Wagner: J10

Rodriguez was ahead until the turn 9, and the river A, completed a straight for Wagner.
