Lamb Busts O'Hara

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Chris Sensoli and Ian O'Hara were the next two casualties. The latter opened to 25,000 with another 38,000 behind, and Ben Lamb called in the big blind. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Lamb bet 24,000, then instantly called the shove of O'Hara.

Ian O'Hara: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Ben Lamb: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river failed to improve O'Hara, and he joined the rail in 59th place.

Scott Davies Stays Alive

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Johnny Lodden limped from the button, Norbert Szecsi called from the small blind, and Scott Davies made a pot-sized raise to 40,000 from the big blind. Lodden called, and Szecsi folded.

Davies shoved in the dark for about 40,000 before the flop came {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Upon seeing the board, Lodden quickly folded, and Davies showed {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} as he took the pot. He's still extremely short-stacked, but he's still around.

Brunca Gets Flushed by Tsang

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}, the action between Yan Shing Tsang and Fernando Brunca Garcia escalated, and the latter ended up all in and at risk for his last 150,000. Tsang eventually looked him up, and the following cards were turned over:

Fernando Brunca Garcia: {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Yan Shing Tsang: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {3-Hearts} turn instantly improved Tsang to a flush, and the {2-Spades} river was just a formality, as Brunca was already drawing dead.

Le Busts Polone and Watson

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Toby Lewis was the second casualty in the money, and soon after, Nghia Le scored a double elimination by sending Gavin Polone and Andrew Watson to the rail. The chips went in preflop with Polone as shortest stack of the trio. Watson had barely more, while Le had both comfortably covered.

Gavin Polone: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Andrew Watson: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Nghia Le: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and the ace on the river gave Le the best hand, knocking out two opponents with a pair of aces.

Quan Zhou: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Aleksei Altshuller: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Remaining Schedule for Tonight

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

As the bubble took far longer than expected, the blind level remained the same, and the current level will be finished before the final break of 15 minutes takes place. Another two levels will be played after that, and the action will conclude at the end of Level 19.

Patrick Mahoney Bubbles the Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Championship

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Andjelko Andrejevic Bursts the Bubble
Andjelko Andrejevic Bursts the Bubble

Patrick Mahoney was forced all in for his last 4,000 in the big blind, and John Racener limped in from early position. Andjelko Andrejevic called the 8,000 from the small blind, and the two remaining players checked the {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and the {3-Hearts} turn. On the {5-Hearts} river, Andrejevic bet 15,000, and Racener folded.

"Are you bluffing?" Mahoney asked.

Andrejevic said, "I can't say," as other tables were still in action.

"Shit," Mahoney replied. Another player from a table nearby asked him, and Mahoney turned around and said, "I am drawing thin. I haven't even looked at my cards yet."

Once all other tables were finished, Andrejevic rolled over {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a queen-high flush. Mahoney's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades} were exposed, and he exited the tournament area as last player without anything to show for his work.
