Hale Doubles Through Kakon

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Millard Hale
Millard Hale

Noah Schwartz raised to 15,000 on the button, Millard Hale called in the small blind, and William Kakon raised to 60,000. Schwartz folded, and Hale called. The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Hale moved all in for 84,000. Kakon called, and Hale was at risk.

Hale: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Kakon: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Hale had a straight to the eight and was in good shape against Kakon's aces. The {4-Hearts} turn and the {6-Diamonds} river changed nothing, and Hale got the double-up.

Parvizi Takes More from Beckley

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and more than 85,000 in the pot, Josh Beckley had a bet of 56,000 in front of him on the button and Iraj Parvizi had raised to 275,000 from the small blind. Beckley tank-called, and just before the river card came out, Parvizi moved all in dark with Beckley's stack covered.

The river was the {J-Spades} and Beckley folded. Parvizi, who started the day at the top of the counts, but was short-stacked not long ago, is now around 900,000 chips.

James Park Continues to Build

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

The board read {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with around 80,000 in the middle, and James Park checked from early position. His opponent was on the button and bet 35,000. Park put together a raise to 80,000, and his opponent pushed his cards toward the muck.

Park scooped the pot and continued to climb the leaderboard.

Parvizi Triples Up, Foxen and Beckley Take a Hit

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Iraj Parvizi
Iraj Parvizi

With the board reading {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, Alex Foxen checked in the big blind, Josh Beckley bet 35,000 in the cutoff, and Parvizi called on the button. Foxen potted it, and after a long pause, Beckley put a stack forward that had both his opponents covered.

Parvizi quickly moved his entire stack in, which totaled 170,000, and Foxen followed suit. Foxen was all in for 277,500 as the cards were revealed.

Parvizi: {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Foxen: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Beckley: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Foxen was in the lead with two pair and an open-ender. Parvizi had the lower open-ended straight draw to go with his pair of eights, but a queen would give Beckley Broadway. Beckley was also looking for a heart to complete his nut flush draw.

The {7-Clubs} on the turn gave Parvizi the straight to the ten, and the {10-Clubs} river changed nothing. Parvizi scored the triple-up, and Foxen took the side pot with two pair, jacks and tens.

Beylin Picks Off Wang

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades} and around 100,000 in the pot, David Wang had his whole stack of 97,000 all in. Action was on Konstantin Beylin in the cutoff. Beylin went into the tank, and eventually, the clock was called. As the tournament director counted down the seconds, Beylin pushed forward a stack to call.

Wang tabled his hand, and Beylin's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} for aces up was best. Wang was eliminated, and Beylin took down the pot.
