Down Goes the Champ

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Event #2 champion Darrin Bracken will not be pulling a repeat performance today. We walked over to find Jim Pifer betting 6,000 on a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Bracken moved all in for around 20,000 and Pifer called in dominating position.

Pifer: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Bracken: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The turn and river brough no help to Bracken and he exited the tournament area.

Barker Needs a Queen, Gets Two

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Alex Barker moved all in from early position and found a caller in the blinds. Barker was in bad shape holding the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} against {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, but he quickly found help on the {3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {Q-Hearts} completed the board on the river for good measure and Barker doubled up to 29,000.

Pfeifer Loses a Flip

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Randy Pfeifer
Randy Pfeifer

Randy Pfeifer moved all in for 11,400 from the cutoff and the player in the big blind looked him up.

"You have a pair?" Pfeifer asked.

"Nope."

"Well, then we're flipping."

Indeed they were, as Pfeifer's {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} was up against the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Pfeifer looked good through the {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop but the {A-Clubs} on the turn left him drawing to two outs. The river bricked and Pfeifer was eliminated.
