Bloch's Eights are Enough this Time

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Andy Bloch bet an unknown amount with a T5,000 chip into a pot of about 10,000 after one check on a {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop. The player on the button made it 12,000, and Bloch called after the third player folded. Both remaining players checked the {4-Diamonds} turn, with Bloch's opponent asking to see his stack. Two more checks followed on the {4-Hearts} river.

Bloch turned over the {8-Clubs}. When his opponent didn't move, Bloch showed the {7-Clubs} behind it and took the pot.

Patrick Korsar Drops One

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

With around 6,000 in the pot, the flop came {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Patrick Korsar was on the button and was heads-up with the player in the cutoff. The action was checked to Korsar, who bet 2,500, and his opponent called. The turn was the {j-Clubs}, and the cutoff checked again. Korsar made a large bet of 16,800, and his opponent didn't waste much time making the call. The river landed the {a-Spades}, and both players checked.

The cutoff tabled {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a full house on the flop, and Korsar chuckled a bit as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Yang Bluffs Away Stack, Doubles After

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

At the tail end of a big hand with Jon Turner, Jerry Yang bet 11,000 on the river of a {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board, and Jon Turner called. Yang was caught bluffing with {A-Spades}{3-Spades}, and Turner had that beat with {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for two pair.

Two hands later, Yang open-shoved his last 9,875, and the player one seat over called. The rest of the table folded, and the cards were tabled:

Jerry Yang: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop gave Yang the lead, and he stayed in thanks to the {5-Hearts} turn and {4-Hearts} river.

Filatov Wins Another Before the End of the Day

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

With about 7,500 in the pot, the flop was {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. There were three players in the hand, and the first player to act led out for 3,100. Anatoly Filatov was to his left and raised to 8,000. The third player in the pot folded, and the initial bettor made the call.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts}, and the action was checked to Filatov. He bet 12,000, and that was enough to get his opponent to lay his hand down.

Yang No More

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

After previously escaping from elimination, Jerry Yang failed to hold up in his next all-in showdown. The camera crews were just finished filming, and the board was already rushed away with Steven Warburton stacking chips in the nine seat.

Apparently, it was a three-way all in with Warburton as shortest stack and pocket jacks. Yang had the second-biggest stack and {A-}{Q-}, while a third player in the hand had pocket nines. Warburton scored a triple-up, while Yang found no help for the smaller side pot to join the rail in the last level of the night.

Doug Polk's Nines Are Good

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Doug Polk, in the cutoff, opened to 1,200. Mike Matusow three-bet to 2,600 on the button. Polk called. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was checked through to the {q-Clubs} turn and {2-Clubs} river. Polk checked.

''I have to look to see if I can bet,'' commented Matusow.

''It's 50/50'' answered Polk.

Matusow peeked at his cards and threw in a bet of 1,600. After a few seconds of reflection and of talking to Matusow without getting an answer, Polk continued, ''I'm such a nice guy, I am gonna pay you off''. He proceeded to call.

''I have ace-high'' said Matusow, tabling {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Polk showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, laughed, and commented, ''This was a beautiful bet!'' raking in the pot.

Er Busts to Khoroshenin

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

In one of the last hands of the night, three players limped and Oleksii Khoroshenin raised to 3,000 on the button. Ronnie Brown called and Zorlu Er then shoved for his last 20,200 from the hijack. Khoroshenin called and Brown folded to set up the following showdown.

Zorlu Er: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Oleksii Khoroshenin: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board came {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and Er failed to get there, falling short of making Day 2.
