Sargent Leads Twice to Get Keshtavar Out

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Behrouz Keshtavar raised to 120,000 from early position and Barbara Sargent called from the big blind.

Sargent opted to lead out for 225,000 when she saw the K9K flop, and Keshtavar quickly called.

A J on the turn didn't slow Sargent down, as she slid out a second barrel of 450,000. Keshtavar paused for thought and looked over at Sargent. In the end, Keshtavar elected to fold, surrendering the pot to Sargent.

Perry Wymore: AJ All in
Lionel Barracano: AK

Barracano pulled ahead further on the 45K flop, pairing his king. The 2 turn and 2 river offered no help to Wymore, and he was sent to the rail.

Susan Murphey raised to 130,000 from middle position and Jack Benson jammed for 475,000 from the hijack. Murphey mulled it over for quite some time before electing to stick in the call.

Jack Benson : KJ All in
Susan Murphey: A5

Murphey was slightly ahead and had the spades covered. However, that didn't matter as Benson paired his king on the K43Q7 runout to survive and earn the double-up.

Kenna James
Kenna James

Kenna James raised to 120,000 from under the gun, and was called by Levent Aksoy in the cutoff and Jack Benson in the big blind.

The flop came 2J4 and it checked to James, who continued with a bet of 170,000. Aksoy folded and Benson moved all in to put James at risk, who had 600,000 behind. After going into the tank, James eventually made the call.

Kenna James: 54 All in
Jack Benson: 108

James was ahead, but needed to dodge a plethora of outs as Benson had two overs and a flush draw.

The 7 turn and 6 river were safe cards for James, and the sizable pot was pushed his way.

Patel Wins a Flip Against Hollink

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Rob Hollink raised to 120,000 from the cutoff and Suru Patel jammed for 435,000 from the button. The shove was for almost half of Hollink's stack, and after giving it plenty of thought, Hollink made the call.

Suru Patel: 44 All in
Rob Hollink: K7

Hollink found himself in a flip with his suited king against the pocket fours of Patel.

Both players picked up straight draws on the 563 flop. A board-pairing 5 turn meant Hollink needed to improve on the river to bust Patel.

It didn't come for Hollink, as the 2 completed the board to give Patel a straight and earn him the double-up.

Salvatore Busacca: 1010All in
Jonathan Lemone: A9

The dealer showed the board: 98935

Lemone flopped trip nines straight away, which was way too strong for the pocket tens of Busacca. He was disappointed to leave the tournament, but at the same happy he made it to the next pay jump.

The flop came 10107 and Toro check-called a bet of 155,000 from Mcdonagh.

The turn landed the A and Toro check-raised all in to put Mcdonagh at risk, who had about 1,450,000 back.

Mcdonagh thought for a brief moment before folding, and Toro flashed the A before dragging in the pot.
