Ron Jenkins Next To Go

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Ron Jenkins was a little on the short side and from early position he moved all in. Ardavan Yazdi called from the button and it was heads up with Jenkins at risk.

Ron Jenkins: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Ardavan Yazdi: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

A final board of {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} eliminated Jenkins.

Benjamin Jones
Benjamin Jones

Taylor Black raised from under the gun to 240,000 and Benjamin Jones three-bet to 525,000 from the button. Black shoved and Jones called to put himself at risk.

Black tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-}, but was far behind Jones who rolled over {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Jones's pocket kings held for the double-up.

Luke Brereton Doubles Up

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Telker raised to 225,000 in middle position, Luke Brereton three-bet shoved from the cutoff for exactly 1,000,000, John Hanna reshoved from the small blind for about 3,000,000, and Telker folded.

Brereton tabled {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and was flipping for his tournament life against Hanna's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Brereton's pocket pair remained the best hand, so he scooped the pot for the double-up.

Erkut Yilmaz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}.

Jason Orrell Gains Chips

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Raul Martinez Requena opened with a raise to 160,000, Jason Orrell called, and Alexandru Masek called all in for 135,000.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked. With the {A-Diamonds} on the turn, Requena checked, Orrell bet 250,000, and Requena proceeded to call. The {4-Clubs} on the river made Requena check again. This time, Orrell decided to bet 550,000 and Requena called again.

Orrell showed the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a set which was enough to best Requena with the {A-}{K-}.

Alexandru Masek didn't show his hand as he got up, knowing that the tournament was over for him.
