Huber Busts One With Suited Connectors

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player in early position raised to 13,000 and Pim Kuipers called in the hijack, Stefan Huber also called from the big blind. After the flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Huber bet 15,000 and the initial raiser called while Kuipers folded.

The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn and Huber made it 49,000 to go. His opponent moved all in for what appeared to be 140,000 and Huber quickly called, tabling the {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for trips treys. He was up against {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the blank {5-Hearts} river was barely dealt when the opponent said "good hand" and disappeared a second later from the tournament area.

Mickey Craft's Turn to Take the Chip Lead

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mickey Craft
Mickey Craft

Mickey Craft opened to 13,500 in early position and was met with three callers; one of which was Quoc Vu in the big blind.

The flop fell {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} and the action was checked by both Vu and Craft before one player bet 19,000. One player folded, as did Vu before Craft check-raised to 61,500.

His opponent called, and when the turn landed the {9-Clubs}, Craft bet out 110,500.

After several minutes in the think-tank, Craft's opponent folded and Craft showed his {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} while raking in the pot to move to 1.47 million in chips; good to take the chip lead off Patrick Lavecchia.

Phillips Barrels Three Streets

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Samuel Phillips from a previous event
Samuel Phillips from a previous event

There was a raise to 11,000 from middle position and the cutoff called along with Samuel Phillips in the small blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both Phillips and the player in middle position checked. The cutoff bet 16,500 and Phillips check-raised to 50,000. The player in middle position folded and the cutoff called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Phillips bet 120,000, which his opponent called. The river brought the {a-Diamonds} and Phillips bet again, this time for 225,000. His opponent went into the tank for a couple minutes but eventually mucked his hand. Phillips scooped a large pot to set him up nicely heading into the money bubble.

With a raise to 10,000 and two calls before him, Cosmin Joldis three-bet to 42,500 from the small blind. The player in the big blind four-bet jammed for 117,500, the raiser and callers folded, and Joldis called after a few moments with {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, trailing his opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The board came down {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, no help to Joldis, giving his opponent the double.

Hajivey Busts before the Money

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Phil Mader raised from the cutoff and Ramin Hajiyev pushed all in out of the big blind for what appeared to be 84,500. Mader called and the cards were turned over.

Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Phil Mader: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The flop of {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} left Hajiyev in desperate shape, needing running aces or kings to escape from elimination. However, it was all over after the {8-Clubs} turn and this made the {9-Hearts} river a mere formality.
