Brandon Bloom
Brandon Bloom
Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Dave Alfa, Jackson Young, and Badr Imejjane got the chips in preflop with Imejjane covering the other two and having a shot at two possible bounties.

Dave Alfa: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Jackson Young: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Badr Imejjane: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} to keep the nines in front and give Alfa the early triple. Meanwhile, Young takes the side pot to take a small chip gain on the hand.

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

Irene Carey came into Day 2 as a short stack, which she was looking to spin up. Unfortunately for her, that didn't happen as she was recently eliminated.

It happened when Carey got her last 24,000 all in preflop against Taylor Grassmick.

Irene Carey: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Taylor Grassmick: {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Carey got it in good but failed to hold as the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} to give Grassmick a winning straight.

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

Eric Salazar got the rest of his shorter stack in preflop and Filippo Ragone called.

Eric Salazar: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Filippo Ragone: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop paired Ragone but kept Salazar ahead. The {a-Spades} turn changed nothing, but the {j-Spades} hit the river to send Salazar home and give Ragone his bounty.

Carl Carodenuto got the rest of his 170,000 or so in preflop and was at risk against Ap Louis Garza.

Carl Carodenuto: {j-}{j-}
Ap Louis Garza: {k-}{k-}

Both players had solid pocket pairs but it was Garza ahead with the kings. However, that all changed on the {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop as Carodenuto found a jack. The {10-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river confirmed Carodenuto's double at the expense of Garza.

Giacomo Tagliaro was all in preflop for his last 80,000 or so and at-risk against Sergio Fernandez Bernal.

Giacomo Tagliaro: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Sergio Fernandez Bernal: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Tagliaro held through both the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop and {2-Spades} turn, but disaster struck when the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the river to pair Bernal.
