Expensive Lesson for Brown

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Bill Klein was down to 40,000 before the break and has since doubled up twice, and he just did so one more time. William Burford raised to 52,000 and Klein shoved for 225,000 from one seat over. Out of the small blind, Seth Brown announced call and tossed in 10,000 chips.

Only then he realized that there was the raise and the all-in, as he in fact wanted to limp in from the small blind. The tournament director was called and Brown had to call off Klein's shove, which he did without much complaining. Burford folded and the cards were tabled.

Bill Klein: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Seth Brown: {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Klein more than doubled.

"I deserved it," Brown added and shook his head.

Glass Loses a Flip to LeClair

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Glass opened with a raise to 60,000. Next to act was Lewis LeClair and he moved all in for a total of 231,000.

"That's almost all that I got," Glass said. "OK, I call."

Glass: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
LeClair: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} was safe for Glass, giving him two pairs, but that changed on the {K-Diamonds} turn, as it moved LeClair into the lead. The {10-Diamonds} river changed nothing, and that allowed LeClair to double while Glass was left with just over one big blind and was eliminated shortly after.

Klein Short Stacked

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Bill Klein
Bill Klein

Bill Klein moved all in under the gun for roughly 200,000. Action folded around to Thomas Symonds and he called the all-in with a shorter stack. Ron Jenkins was next to act and he called the all-in as well with a shorter stack. Everyone else folded, bringing the three players to a show down.

Klein: {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Symonds: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Jenkins: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}, making Symonds' hand best, earning him a full triple-up. Jenkins' hand was the second-best, and Klein was forced to double up what was left of his stack. Klein was left with just over 40,000 after the hand, but promptly found a double when his {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} outraced Federico Castaing's {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} on the next hand.

"Nice Hand, Tommy"

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Joining the action on the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} turn, Tommy Vinas moved all in for 192,000 in the small blind. David Ives reluctantly called and showed {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Vinas showed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

The {Q-Hearts} river was a blank and Vinas doubled. Ives said, "Nice hand, Tommy," and another player at the table chimed in with the same words.

Preston Hartmann added, "They hold up once in a while," and Vinas jumped above average.

Misstep for Heimiller

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Randall Chamberlain opened the action with a raise to 40,000 from early position. Dan Heimiller took a look around the table and then decided to reraise to 165,000. Action folded back to Chamberlain and he moved all in for a total of 277,000. Heimiller didn't take long to call the difference.

Heimiller: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Chamberlain: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, giving Heimiller a little bit of hope with a flopped top pair. The {K-Hearts} on the turn didn't improve Heimiller though.

"Heart!" Heimiller requested from the dealer, even though it wouldn't improve his hand any.

The river was the {J-Spades}, though, and that would secure the double-up for Chamberlain, making him one of the first people who's been able to put any kind of dent in Heimiller all day.

Heimiller Busts Levy

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Judd Levy moved all in for just over 300,000 from the cutoff and Dan Heimiller hesitated briefly in the big blind, sighed, and called after a few seconds to table {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. "You are ahead," Levy said and showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to see the board run out {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Jeff Frerichs sent his remaining stack over to Seth Brown and Lawrence Whyte had his queens cracked by pocket fours to get short before joining the rail soon after.

Setbacks for Rodriguez and Klein

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Eluterio Rodriguez got into a raising war with Bruce Hugon and ended up four-bet shoving with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Hugon called for 231,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and the board came {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} to let Hugon double.

Bill Klein faced the all-in of William Burford for 207,000 in the hijack and also moved all in from one seat over in the cutoff.

Burford: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Klein: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and the ace on the river saved Burford.

Roller Coaster for Whalen

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Robert Whalen checked out of the big blind and David James bet 60,000 on the button. Whalen check-raised to 150,000 and James moved all in for 288,000 in total. Whalen folded but got his chips back the next hand.

In a limped battle of the blinds, Whalen got it in after the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts} turn for 259,000 with {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} against the {A-}{8-} of Jeff Martin and the {2-Clubs} river was a blank. Martin was left with fewer than six big blinds and doubled up right after.
