Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Larry Abrams
Larry Abrams

Brian Altman limped from the hijack and Lawrence Abrams moved his 1,760,000 stack into the middle. Patrick Serda four-bet shoved, totaling 2,140,000 from the small blind and Hall called for 85,000 stack. Altman folded, leaving three to tabled their hands.

Brandon Hall: {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Lawrence Abrams: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Patrick Serda: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The dealer fanned out {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} on the flop, leaving Serda well in front. A {4-Diamonds} turn card brought some straight draws to life for Abrams. The {j-Hearts} river landed a main pot for Hall but failed to improve Lawrence as he was eliminated by Serda's nines, taking home $53,604 for his efforts.

Russler Leaves Hall with Crumbs

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brandon Hall opened to 130,000 from under the gun, Lawrence Abrams called on the button and Nathan Russler three-bet to 430,000. Hall was the lone caller and the dealer spread out {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} on the flop.

Russler bet 375,000 and Hall moved all in for more than enough to cover. Russler snap-called, tabling a set of dimes and Hall looked of disgust as he showed rockets.

Nathan Russler: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Brandon Hall: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {4-Spades}{9-Clubs} runout did not change a thing and Russler scooped in the pot, leaving Hall with over two blinds.
