Golik Claims Another Bounty

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The player on the button raised to 23,000 and Bart Golik took some time in the big blind before deciding to shove with the bigger stack. His opponent snap-called for the 208,000 he had behind.

Button: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Bart Golik: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to give Golik the higher pair immediately.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} which didn't change things and neither did the {a-Clubs} on the river to reduce the field down to 80 hopefuls.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for Meerow to hold with the pair of eights to double up with.

Jackson Runs into Quads

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Just before the break, the flop read {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds} with around 70,000 in the middle already.

David Jackson had checked in the hijack and Louis Pelletteri bet 15,000 from the button which Jackson called.

The turn brought them the {3-Clubs} and both players checked to the {j-Spades} on the river. Jackson checked for the last time and Pelletteri barreled a bet of 75,000 over the line. Jackson responded with a shove of around 400,000 for Pelletteri to snap-call. Jackson tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the full house but Pelletteri held {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for quad treys for Jackson to look stunned and get up from his chair in disbelief.

The hand right after, Pelletteri raised to 15,000 from the cutoff and Joseph Muldoon defended his big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Spades}, Muldoon check-called the 15,000 continuation-bet of Pelletteri. They both checked through the {j-Hearts} on the turn to the {8-Hearts} on the river. Muldoon bet 30,000 and Pelletteri took a few seconds.

"Only because you don't play that many hands..." Pelletteri said before opting to fold.

Stambaugh Doubles Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gregory Stambaugh was all-in from the early position for 92,000 and was called by his opponent on his direct left while the rest of the table folded.

Gregory Stambaugh: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Middle Position: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {7-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for Stambaugh to stay ahead with the higher kicker but for his opponent to pick up the flush draw.

"Oh no, no more of those please!" Stambaugh responded.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} to pair up with Stambaugh's queen but he still needed to avoid another heart on the river.

And that's exactly what he did as the river completed the board with the {3-Diamonds}.

Richardson Bursts the Bubble

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bubble Hand
Bubble Hand

The player in the cutoff was sitting in the tank, having a mere 4,000 left while the other tables had completed their action. After a while, he decided to put his last 4 chips in for the all-in. The player on the button called the 6,000 minimum while Steven Richardson decided to raise to 26,000 in the big blind which the button called for them to play for the side pot.

The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Richardson continued with a bet of 24,000 and that was more than enough for his opponent on the button to fold. Richardson scooped the side pot and the cards could go on their backs.

Richardson tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for everyone to gasp including the other players in the field as they had rushed the table to see what was happening. His opponent looked gutted as he turned over the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The turn brought them the {j-Diamonds} which didn't change anything and neither did the {3-Spades} on the river as Richardson burst the bubble while his opponent gt up from the chair and stared at the table for a while longer before making his way out of the tournament area.

The Bubble is Here

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The player in the middle position was sitting in the tank with a bet of 70,000 in front of him while David Lu had the all-in button in front of him on the button. After a while, Lu got the call from the shorter stack.

Middle Position: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
David Lu: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for Lu to hold and eliminate his opponent to get to the bubble as there are now 111 players left. Hand-for-hand play will commence now.
