Pratik Ghatge Doubles Through Cary Katz

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Pratik Ghatge raised to 12,000, and Cary Katz three-bet to 30,000. Ghatge called.

Ghatge checked the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop to Katz, who bet enough to put Ghatge all in. Ghatge snap-called.

Ghatge: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Katz: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Katz had flopped two pair but slammed a chip stack against the table at the sight of his opponent's flopped straight.

The turn {j-Diamonds} and river {k-Clubs} were no help to Katz. "God dammit," he said counting out the chips to double his opponent. "Should have bet more."

Phil Collins Knocks Jarod Einsohn Out

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Rainer Kempe raised to 14,000 from the under-the-gun position, and Jarod Einsohn shoved all in from the hijack. Phil Collins asked for a count. Einsohn counted his chips and said it was 96,500 in total. Collins also shoved all in. Kempe folded.

Phil Collins: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Jarod Einsohn: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} — no help for Einsohn and more chips for Collins.

Dieke Meyer Eliminated by Pellegrino Marotta

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Dieke Meyer was all in and at risk of elimination holding {a-Spades}{q-Spades} against the {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} of Pellegrino Marotta.

The flop was a good one for Marotta, coming {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The turn was the {7-Spades}. The river was the {q-Hearts}, and a seemingly satisfied Meyer sat back down and expectantly looked toward the dealer.

However, the dealer reminded him that the queen on the river had given Marotta a full house, and Meyer was forced to head to the payout desk.

"I folded a five," said Marotta's tablemate. "You hit the last one in the deck!"

Mohsin Charania Tries Out the "Cary Dime" Against Cary Katz

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

On a {j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop between Mohsin Charania and Cary Katz, both players checked. and the {k-Hearts} was dealt on the turn. Charania bet 5,000, mimicking a tactic famously used by Katz in this summer's Super High Roller Bowl, where Katz would min-bet turns. It was a tactic he used to great effect, especially on Day 1 of the tournament.

"You want to see a free card with jack-ten?" asked Katz before electing to call.

Charania checked the {4-Clubs} river, and Katz checked behind, saying, "Jack's good."

Charania shook his head and went to muck, but not before Katz turned over {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for ace-high. Then Charania mucked.

"You need to bet bigger!" said Katz as he raked in the small but meaningful pot.

Phil Collins Wins Against All Odds

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Phil Collins
Phil Collins

Phil Collins shoved all in preflop for 101,000 in total and was called by Emil Ekvardt, who had him covered.

Phil Collins: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Emil Ekvardt: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Collins needed a lot of help to stay in the tournament, as Ekvardt had a higher pair.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}, giving Ekvardt a set. Collins got up from his chair, as he could see the elimination coming.

The dealer burned a card and revealed the {3-Diamonds} on the turn, and people started peeking at the table to see what was happening. Collins now also had a set and a small chance to stay alive.

The dealer burned another card and put the {3-Spades} on the river, giving Collins backdoor quads to win the hand.

There were gasps and sounds of amazement from the nearby places, and some of them wandered over to see what was happening. Collins just sat down again and started stacking up his chips.
