Ace-King Takes It

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Robert Nehorayan opened to 90,000 from the cutoff, which only Ryan Hansen called in the small blind.

On a 6K6 flop, Hansen checked in flow before calling a continuation bet of 110,000.

That put an end to the action, as both players checked the 5 turn and the 6 river.

"Ace-king", Hansen announced, tabling AK82, which was enough to win the pot, as Nehorayan mucked his hand.

Three More Fall

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bretzfield Busts With the Wrong Manifestation

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ryan Hansen limped in from under the gun. Josh Arieh and Matthew Bretzfield did the same from the button and small blind before Thomas Zanot checked in the big blind.

The flop came J5K. Bretzfield led out for 200,000, pushing Zanot out of the pot. After asking for what Bretzfield had behind, Hansen raised it up to 500,000. Arieh got out of the way, prompting Bretzfield to go all in for 775,000. Hansen quickly called, taking them to the following showdown.

Matthew Bretzfield: Q1092 All in
Ryan Hansen: AKJ9

Bretzfield got on his feet and claimed he was waiting for a backdoor flush. He started praying for a heart to come down, and as if his prayers were heard, the dealer peeled a 5 turn and a 7 river.

With the board completed, Bretzfield celebrated with a cheer for catching a flush. Just to be reminded that Hansen had the higher flush.

One of the players at the table, said "That's what you call manifestation. He called it and it happened."

Moore Falls to Paradise

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jack Moore raised to 140,000 in the cutoff and called when Rocky Paradise three-bet to 460,000 from the small blind.

Paradise took over the betting lead on the 336 flop, sliding a stack big enough to cover Moore's remaining 200,000. Moore called, putting himself at risk.

Jack Moore: AQ85 All in
Rocky Paradise: A943

The Q turn and 2 completed the board, and Paradise scooped, winning both the high and the low, to eliminate Moore.

Zanot Doubles Through Arieh, Silver Latest to Fall

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Josh Arieh opened to 100,000 in the hijack, and called when Thomas Zanot three-bet to 360,000 on the button.

The dealer spread a 679 flop, and Arieh slid a stack of chips into the middle; more than enough to cover the 150,000 Zanot had behind. Zanot called, and the cards were flipped over.

Thomas Zanot: AA86 All in
Josh Arieh: J432

Zanot was ahead, but had several outs to dodge. The 10 turn improved him to a straight, and the 10 river was a brick that confirmed his survival and a full double up.

On a neighbouring table, Nate Silver was eliminated in 21st place.
