Updated Counts After Level 22

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Groth and Taylor Claim Pots before the Break

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Allan le raised to 36,000 and Tyler Groth called in the small blind, then bet the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop for 35,000. Le called and the {K-Clubs} turn saw another bet worth 60,000 by Groth, which Le called. Groth checked the {K-Hearts} river and Le checked behind to get shown {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a full house by Groth.

In the last hand of the level, Adam Brown limped in and Groth called on the button, as did Darren Taylor and Igor Sharashkin in the blinds. The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and the action checked to Groth, who bet 32,000. Taylor check-raised to 118,000 and forced folds all around, triggering cheers from his rail.

Zullo Catches Groth

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Mark Zullo opened from late position and big blind Tyler Groth accepted his 35,000 price to see the flop come {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The flop ceased fire, but Groth led out 40,000 on the {J-Spades} turn. Zullo called.

Groth placed in another 80,000 after the {9-Clubs} hit the river. Zullo threw in one chip, signaling a call.

"You got it," said Groth, knowing he couldn't win with his {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a missed wrap. Zullo opened {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for two pair, jacks and nines and added another chunk to his stack. He's now nearly level with Groth.

Adam Brown Doubles Through Daniel Spencer

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

On the button, Adam Brown raised the pot to 56,000 and Daniel Spencer called in the big blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} and Spencer bet enough to set Brown in, who called for his last 73,000.

Adam Brown: {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Daniel Spencer: {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The {Q-Diamonds} turn improved Spencer but Brown stayed in front with his set of sevens. The {6-Diamonds} then fell on the river and Brown doubled with a straight to send Spencer to the bottom of the counts.

Zullo Takes Down Limped Pot

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Half of the table joined the contest in a hand that started with Daniel Spencer's limp from the second position. Two seats over, Tyler Groth overlimped and Allan Le also called from the button. Mark Zullo completed from the small blind and Adam Brown checked his option as the five players continued to the flop.

The {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} hit the felt and the action got checked to Le, whose 32,000 bet evoked two calls and two folds, with Zullo and Spencer interested in seeing the turn card.

Zullo, however, ended the multi-way competition on the {2-Hearts} turn, leading a huge 171,000 to force two folds.

First Blood to Taylor and Le

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Joining the action on the {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, Darren Taylor checked in the small blind and Mark Zullo bet 45,000, which Taylor called. Both then checked the {8-Spades} turn and the {8-Hearts} river to see Taylor announce aces and nines. He turned over {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and that won the pot.

The next hand, Allan Le raised to 36,000 from under the gun and Tyler Groth called in the cutoff. On the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Le checked and called a bet of 55,000 by Groth. The {Q-Spades} turn was checked through and Le's bet of 80,000 on the {6-Spades} river won the pot.

Jesse Chinni Eliminated in 11th Place ($10,129)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Jesse Chinni
Jesse Chinni

Chinni's ride back up didn't last long as he lost all of his chips straight after scoring a double against Tyler Groth.

Chinni was sitting in the big blind, facing Darren Taylor in the small blind. They tangled on the turn, with {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on the felt. Taylor checked, then Chinni bet 40,000. Taylor responded with a huge check-raise. Chinni then said he was all in, causing some troubles to Taylor.

"Oh s$%t, I call," Taylor said. He wasn't convinced he had the best hand, but he did. Taylor held {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a turned full house while Chinni showed {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, knowing he was drawing dead.

Taylor had Chinni slightly covered as he was left with about 250,000 on the turn while Chinni had only 238,000 remaining. The meaningless {A-Clubs} landed on the river, signaling an end to Chinni's run in the tournament. He departed in 11th place, earning $10,129.
