Hand #15-18 Berkey Staying Active

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #15- Action folded to Fred Berger in the cutoff, and he raised it up to 61,000. Joao Dorneles Neto reraised to 176,000 from the small blind. Berger folded when it got back to him, and Neto took down the pot.

Hand #16- Matt Berkey made it 50,000 to go from early position, and he took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #17- Berkey limped in from under the gun, and Allan Vrooman checked his option from the big blind. The flop ran down {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Vrooman checked to Berkey, who took down the pot with a bet of 33,000.

Hand #18- Jared Hamby made it 55,000 to go from under the gun, and Peter Hengsakul called from middle position. Berkey also called from the big blind, and they went three ways to a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Clubs}. It was checked to Hengsakul, who bet out 110,000. Berkey and Hamby folded, and Hengsakul took down the pot.

David Nicholson Eliminated in 9th Place ($38,625)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
David Nicholson - 9th place
David Nicholson - 9th place

Hand #13: Nicolas Fierro opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Jared Hamby made the call from the cutoff to see a {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop fall.

Fierro checked and Hamby bet out 62,000 which prompted a fold from Fierro.

Hand #14: Joao Dorneles Neto made it 55,000 and Matt Berkey made the call before David Nicholson moved all in for 203,000 from the button.

Neto mucked but Berkey made the call as the cards were placed on their backs.

Berkey: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Nicholson: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The flop fell {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} to keep Berkey in the lead, and when the {9-Spades} landed on the turn Nicholson would need to spike to stay alive.

Unfortunately for the WSOP Circuit regular, the {4-Diamonds} landed on the river to end his tournament in 9th place for a $38,625 payday.

Hands #8-12 Hamby Four Bet Shoves

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #8- Action folded to Peter Hengsakul from the hijack, and he made it 52,000 to go. Nicolas Fierro called from the cutoff, and they went heads up to a flop of {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Hengsakul checked to Fierro, who fired out 75,000. That got a fold from Hengsakul, and Fierro took down the pot.

Hand #9- David Nicholas moved all in for 187,000 from early position, and he took down the pot uncontested.

Hand #10- Fierro made it 50,000 in middle position, and Allan Vrooman reraised to 135,000 from the button. Jarred Hamby was in the big blind, and he moved all in for just over 500,000. Fierro folded, and it was back to Vrooman. After about 90 seconds of thinking, he ended up folding, and Hamby took down the nice sized pot.

Hand #11- Action folded all the way to Jared Hamby in the small blind, and he made it 55,000 to go. Fred Berger defended his big blind, and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Hamby fired out 60,000, and Berger raised it up to 140,000. Hamby quickly folded, and Berger took down the pot.

Hand #12- Joao Dorneles Neto raised it up to 50,000 from middle position, and Richard Dubini reraised to 126,000. Neto kicked his hand in, and Dubini took down the pot.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #3: Peter Hengsakul opened the pot to 52,000 from under the gun only to have Nicolas Fierro three-bet to 120,000 next to act. Hengsakul made the call to see a {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop before he checked over to Fierro who bet out 125,000.

Hand #4: Richard Dubini opened to 50,000 and won the blinds and antes.

Hands #1 and 2 Neto Doubles Through Vrooman

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #1- Joao Dorneles Neto raised it up to 51,000 in middle position, and he took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #2- Action folded to Neto, and again he raised it up to 51,000. Richard Dubini made the call next to act, as did Allan Vrooman. Fred Berger made it a four way pot from the big blind, and the flop came down {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Berger checked to Neto, who fired out 127,000. Dubini folded, but Vrooman called. Berger also folded, and the {5-Spades} hit the turn.

Neto decided to check this time, and Vrooman tossed 200,000 into the middle Neto tanked for over three minutes before pushing all in 550,000 total. Vrooman made the call, and the cards were tabled.

Neto: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Vrooman: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Neto was out in front and looking to dodge a spade or a nine, and he did just that, as the {j-Hearts} hit the river. Neto jumped up to 1.25 million after that hand, while Vrooman is now down to 1.3 million.

Break Time

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

The final nine players are heading on a short break while official chip counts are taken and everyone is moved to the feature table.

Allen Cunningham Eliminated in 10th Place ($29,961)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Allen Cunningham
Allen Cunningham

Peter Hengsakul raised it up to 50,000 in middle position, and Allan Vrooman called from the small blind. Allen Cunningham also called from the big blind, and the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}. It checked to Hengsakul, and he bet out 75,000. Vrooman folded, but Cunningham elected to check raise it to 170,000. Hengsakul made the call, and the turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Cunningham thought for about 15 seconds before moving all in for 220,000, and Hengsakul snap called.

Hengsakul: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Cunningham: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Cunningham had flopped top pair, but unfortunately for him, he was drawing dead to the set of Hengsakul. The meaningless river was the {j-Hearts}, and Cunningham bubbled the official final table.

Neto Makes Mistake, Folds Flop

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Allan Vrooman opened to 70,000 from under the gun, and when the action folded round to Joao Dorneles Neto in the big blind he raised t 61,000 believing there was no action before him.

Neto shook his head and then called the additional amount before check-folding to 100,000 on the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop.
