Gazlay Takes the Lead

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The action was complete, the full board of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Clubs} was out, and Brayden Gazlay was about to take the massive pot in the middle. He had {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} face-up in front of him and had gotten all the chips in preflop against two players, one with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and another with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Although Gazlay was ahead the whole way, the three diamonds on the flop left him vulnerable to flushes. Since he turned a set and the river bricked, he took the pot to seize the chip lead.

Hamby Gets a Fold

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Jared Hamby had already committed what looked like 40,000 from the hijack and his opponent in the big blind raised to 100,000. Hamby reraised to 190,000, and after brief consideration, the big blind folded and the dealer pushed the pot Hamby's way.

Jacobson's Queens Hold Against Bohlman

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

Scott Bohlman has finished in all first, second and third place this summer but he won't make it to the podium in The Closer. Bohlman's run was halted when he open-jammed for about 400,000 in the second position, only to see Martin Jacobson repush from the hijack.

Bohlman was in terrible shape with {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} versus {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The dealer gave him solid chances after pulling out the flop of {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, followed by the {J-Diamonds} turn. Bohlman was looking to spike 15 outs on the river but the {10-Hearts} wasn't one of them and Jacobson amassed his full stack.
