Aldridge Doubles Through Wang

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The cards were already tabled and the chips of Ken Aldridge playing from the big blind in the middle. Aldridge was at risk against WSOP bracelet winner Michael Wang.

Ken Aldridge: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Michael Wang: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Aldridge had the double locked up on the turn, then afterwards confirmed what happened. Wang was the initial raiser, another player three-bet and Aldridge four-bet for half of his stack of 56,000. Wang moved all in to force the other player out and Aldridge quickly called.

More Early Eliminations

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Nipun Java was among those to join the rail while Ernest Smith moved his stack to 200,000. He is now on par with start-of-the-day chip leader Pablo Fernandez, who is two tables over.

Galen Hall also moved up in the counts as well. He was responsible for the elimination of Michael Cordell after his pocket sevens held up against the pocket fours of Cordell.

Thomas Doubles Through Reichenstein and Busts Marques

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Tom Thomas
Tom Thomas

A massive pot emerged between Tom Thomas and Uri Reichenstein with more than 60,000 already in the middle on the turn of {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Thomas moved all in for 82,000 and Reichenstein was sent into the think tank. The clock was called on him and he was given 30 seconds to act per the new rule.

Reichenstein eventually called and tabled {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for top pair and a flush draw, while Thomas had {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for middle set. The {8-Hearts} river bricked and Reichenstein took a massive hit to the stack.

Soon after, Thomas defended his big blind and saw Renato Marques get his stack in after a flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Thomas called with {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Marques had {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The {4-Diamonds} turn gave Marques some further outs, but the {5-Hearts} river was a blank.

Carlton Likes His Table Change

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jamie Rosen was in late position and raised to 2,600. Everett Carlton was in the cutoff and three-bet to 7,400 putting the action back on Rosen who four-bet to roughly 20,600. Carlton quickly moved all in for 50,000 and Rosen snap-called.

Carlton tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Rosen showed {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the kings held for Carlton as a couple players said, "Welcome to the table." Carlton had just been moved over from another table that had broken.

Bojang Doubles Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ronen Ohayon was in the hijack and raised to 1,700. Ismael Bojang was in the small blind and moved all in for 32,500. Ohayon paused for a minute and then called.

Bojang tabled {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Ohayon showed {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.

The flop was {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} hitting Ohayon's king. The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river was the {a-Diamonds} hitting Bojang's ace and giving him the best hand. Ohayon was visibly frustrated, almost ripping his shirt off and letting out a yell. Bojang calmly stacked up his chips and Ohayon took a little stroll away from the table to presumably, blow off some steam.

Value for Berger

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Seth Berger raised from the cutoff and was called by Gary Hasson in the big blind. Hasson proceeded to check-call bets on every street on a board of {J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. On the turn it was for 4,000 and on the river for 11,500. Berger rolled over {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and that was good enough to rake in the pot.
