Eric Froehlich Gets aa Double

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Tyler Smith was in the small blind, and Eric Froehlich in the big blind with not many chips left once he had seen the flop of {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Smith gave the matter some thought before a bet from him saw Froehlich call all in.

Smith: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Froehlich: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The turn was the {q-Spades} and the river the {9-Clubs}, giving Froehlich a king-high straight to keep him in the game.

Ankush Mandavia

Yves Kupfermunz raised to 85,000 from the cutoff, Ankush Mandavia three-bet to 300,000 from the button, Kupfurmunz moved all in, and Mandavia called. Kupfurmunz had the larger of the two stacks but only by a very small margin.

Kupfermunz: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Mandavia: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Kupfermunz had the preflop advantage with his aces, and Mandavia needed to improve in order to double up. The board ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to give Kupfermunz a diamond flush, and he scooped the pot to eliminate Mandavia.

Bryant: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Mark Radoja Pots Flop

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Jeffrey Trudeau opened from the button, then called a raise from big blind Mark Radoja.

The flop was {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Radoja gave it 30 seconds of thought before announcing, "Pot," which was 495,000 and most of his stack. Trudeau didn’t need to give it much thought; his cards quickly hit the muck.

JC Tran Eliminated in 19th Place ($7,443)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
JC Tran
JC Tran

With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, JC Tran and John Dallaire got all the chips in the middle, with Dallaire holding the larger of the two stacks.

Tran: {7-}{7-}{6-}{6-}
Dallaire: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Tran was ahead with his set of sevens, but he needed to dodge the remaining diamonds, kings, and queens in the deck in order to double up. The {A-Diamonds} on the turn was not the card Tran wanted to see, and he needed the board to pair on the river in order to preserve his tournament life. The {2-Diamonds} changed nothing, though, and Tran was eliminated.

James Chen

James Chen and Jessie Bryant got all the chips in the middle on a board of {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Bryant had the larger of the two stacks.

Chen: {A-Spades}{Q-}{9-}{6-}
Bryant: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Spades}

Both players had spade flush draws, but Chen had the nut flush draw so Bryant's was dominated.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn gave Bryant two pair. The {5-Diamonds} river was no help to Chen, and he was eliminated.
