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.

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.

Ruegsegger Busts to Alipourfard

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

After coming back from the first break, another six players were eliminated and among them was Scott Ruegsegger. He got it in with the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Mansour Alipourfard looked him up with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The board of {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} left no doubt over the outcome after the flop, and that was it for Ruegsegger.

Stephen Jarrett was able to build his stack slightly at the same table, as did David Petrus, and their counts are included.

Brown Loses Even More Chips

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

The stack of Seth Brown has plummeted further, as Thomas Symonds just scored a double through him for 248,000.

Symonds was all in and at risk with the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Brown showed {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. The board ran out {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and neither over card appeared on the board to let Symonds hold up.

Dave James Gets Three-Outted For His Tournament Life

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

After a raise from Harvey Lewis, Dave James moved all in. Lewis called with a covering stack.

Lewis: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
James: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and that left James in the lead, but the {J-Hearts} on the turn made Lewis' hand best. The {J-Spades} on the river only further solidified the elimination and James was sent to the rail.

Burford No More

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

The cards were all but rushed away, as were the chips of William Burford while he headed to the rail. According to the table, Burford had flopped middle pair with {7-}{6-} on {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Federico Castaing looked him up with {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for top pair.

Murray Busts Knutzen

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

David Knutzen was all in and at risk with the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and was called by William Murray from San Francisco who tabled {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the better kicker. Knutzen picket up some outs on the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} turn but, ultimately, the {6-Diamonds} on the river was a blank to eliminate Knutzen in 43rd place.

Triple For Seth Brown

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

After his live misclick earlier, Seth Brown has made a nice recovery after earning a triple-up through Ron Jenkins and Paul Spitzberg. Brown moved all in over a raise and was called in both spots.

Brown: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Spitzberg: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Jenkins: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board came out {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, which was safe all the way for Brown and he was able to quickly recover from his earlier mistake.

"I thought I was done after I messed up earlier," Brown said in reference to the earlier hand.

"Well, usually when that kinda stuff happens, you win those hands," one of the tournament floors told him.
