Brian Pedersen Scoops a Three-Way All In

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player under the gun raised to 4,000, and a player in early position called. Brian Pedersen was in middle position and moved all in for 20,600. The original raiser moved all in for 27,000, and the middle-position player called.

Pederson tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, the under-the-gun player showed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and the middle-position player revealed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Pedersen stood up from his seat and excitedly pumped his fist. He's spun his stack up from just 15 big blinds earlier to a much healthier count now.

Aaron Massey Blindly Triples Up; Kelly Winterhalter Eliminated

Action folded around to Kelly Winterhalter in the cutoff, and she moved all in for about 13,500. The player in the small blind moved all in over top, and Aaron Massey, who appeared to have lost a big pot in the hand before, blindly moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 1,825 chips.

Winterhalter tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}, the small blind then showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Massey slowly peeled over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The entire table erupted in laughter, and Massey stood up in shock after waking up to kings after being all in blind. Both Massey and Winterhalter were at risk, with the small blind having both of them well covered.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Massey tripled up to scoop the main pot, while Winterhalter was eliminated and the small blind raked in the bigger side pot.

Basic Payout Information

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The tournament staff has announced that 589 players will get paid out from this flight, and a min-cash is worth $833.

As of now, roughly 960 players remain, and tables are breaking fast, so the money bubble is not too far out.

Dawley is Done

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jessica Dawley
Jessica Dawley

Jessica Dawley raised to 1,700 from under the gun, and Eric Larson three-bet to 4,300. Action folded back around to Dawley, and she moved all in for 9,000. Larson shrugged his shoulders and said, "I call."

Dawley tabled {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, and Larson revealed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a coin flip.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Dawley still needed an ace or a king to improve. The turn was the {9-Hearts}, and Dawley was drawing dead to the {3-Clubs} on the river.
