Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Alexander Haber opened for 25,000 and Tin Lee three-bet in position to 60,000. The remainder of the table folded and Haber called the raise.

The flop was {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Haber: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Lee: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {8-Spades}.

Haber got a full double-up for his set.

Russo Hits Runner-Runner on Todd

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

After a raise of 28,000 from Eugene Todd, Stephen Russo moved all in for his final 147,000. It folded back around to Todd, who didn't take very long to make the call.

Russo: {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Todd: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Russo was in rough shape, and he started to get up out of his chair right away. The flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} gave Russo some backdoor straight and flush outs, and the {4-Diamonds} on the turn was one of the best cards he could have seen. An ace, three, or diamond would work for Russo now, and the {Q-Diamonds} hit the river to give him the nut flush and the double-up.

Tony Dam Doubles Through Matt Affleck

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tony Dam shoved from early position for what looked like 125,000 and action folded around to Matt Affleck in the big blind. After some thought, Affleck called to put Dam at risk.

Affleck: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Dam: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Dam was racing for his tournament life and Affleck needed to improve in order to take the pot and eliminate his opponent. The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Dam doubled up with jacks full of sevens.

Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson had got a little short earlier in the level when Upeshka De Silva had doubled up through him.

Shaotong Chang just got the last of his chips and she related how Ferguson was all in holding {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Chang had {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Chang started with the best hand and ended up rivering a flush.

Ferguson was out and with that he finished the summer on 17 cashes.

De Silva Takes One

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Andrew Hedley raised to 28,000 from under the gun, Upeshka De Silva called from middle position, Renato Nomura called from the button, and the big blind called, as well.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and action checked to De Silva. He bet 58,000, Nomura folded, as did the big blind, and after brief consideration, Hedley mucked and De Silva took the pot.

Mohler Takes One With Trips

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Mohler and Samuel Vonkennel went heads up to a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Vonkennel bet out 32,000, Mohler called, and the {7-Hearts} hit the turn. Vonkennel slowed down with a check, and Mohler fired out 40,000. Vonkennel quickly called, and the {9-Diamonds} hit the river. Vonkennel checked again, Mohler fired out 50,000, and Vonkennel again quickly called.

He would quickly muck his hand though, as Mohler rolled over {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for trip tens. Mohler jumped up to 580,000 after that hand, while Vonkennel is getting short with 150,000.

Mikey Wangh Sees the Straight Late

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mikey Wangh opened and then Dan Heimiller three-bet to 72,000.

Wangh then moved all in and when Heimiller got a count he heard it was 178,000 more. Heimiller thought for several minutes before saying he hated to call with his hand but felt he had to.

Wangh: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Heimiller: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The dealer spotted the rivered straight for Wangh before anyone else and a surprised and relieved Wangh got a double-up and took his seat again.

Joshua Pridgen got his entire stack in the middle before the flop and Matt Affleck called from the small blind to put him at risk.

Pridgen: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Affleck: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Pridgen was flipping for his tournament life and Affleck needed help from the deck in order to win the pot. The board ran out {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, counterfeiting Pridgen's pocket pair and giving Affleck the pot with his ace.
