Jason Mo Eliminated in 5th Place (AU$630,000)

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Mo - 5th Place
Jason Mo - 5th Place

In the very next hand after Erik Seidel fell in sixth place, Jason Mo followed him out the door in fifth.

It happened when action folded around to Ole Schemion in the small blind and he opted to use his big stack to his advantage by moving all in. Mo, who looked to have approximately 500,000 behind, looked down at his cards and then announced a call.

Schemion: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Mo: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Mo got it in good, but Schemion was drawing to two live cards. The {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop gave Schemion an open-ended straight draw, and he managed hit it on the {A-Clubs} turn. Mo was drawing dead, and he took his leave from the tournament after the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Seiver Takes a Big Pot Off Seidel

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel on the button and he raised to 85,000. Scott Seiver called from the small blind, Richard Yong folded the big, and it was heads-up action to the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Seiver check-called a bet of 100,000 and then led out for 130,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Seidel called and then watched the {9-Spades} complete the board on the river. Seiver bet a hefty 350,000, and Seidel thought for most of the shot clock period before tossing in some chips to signify a call.

Seiver rolled over the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trips, and it was good as Seidel flung his cards to the muck.

Yong Picks off Another Mo Bluff

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Mo tried to bluff Richard Yong again and failed in doing so once more.

Yong opened to 90,000 from the cutoff and Mo defended his big blind to see a {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop appear. Yong continued for 100,000 and Mo check-called before both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn.

The board completed with the {6-Clubs} river and Yong called Mo's 215,000 bet holding {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. It was good as Mo could only muster {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Dani Stern Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$400,000)

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Dani Stern - 7th Place
Dani Stern - 7th Place

Richard Yong raised to 65,000 from the hijack and a short-stacked Dani Stern, who was crippled the hand before, opted to move all in from the small blind for roughly 200,000. Jason Mo folded from the big blind and Yong made the call.

Yong: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Stern: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Stern had woken up with a legitimate hand, but Yong was drawing to two live cards. The {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop provided both players gutshot straight draws, but as it was Stern was still ahead with his ace-king. The {2-Clubs} turn didn't change a thing, but the {9-Clubs} river did. Yong managed to pair up and Stern was felled in seventh place for AU$400,000.

Bonomo: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Stern: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The board ran {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} to make Bonomo a pair of aces.

Seiver Scores Another Double

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Scott Seiver raised to 65,000 and Jason Mo called from the big blind to see a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Mo proceeded to check-call a bet of 60,000 and then check-called one of 135,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn.

Mo checked for a third time on the {4-Clubs} river and then called when Seiver moved all in for his last 316,000. Mo held the {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair, but his kicker was no good as Seiver rolled over the {9-Spades}{a-Spades}. Ship the double to Seiver.

Two in a Row for Mo

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jason Mo found two pocket pairs in back-to-back hands and won them both.

From early position, he raised to 65,000 and Ole Schemion defended his big blind. The {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board was checked all the way and Mo took the pot with pocket jacks.

The very next hand, he raised to 65,000 from under the gun with pocket nines. Dani Stern called from the big blind and the board ran {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Stern check-called bets of 80,000 and 165,000 on the turn and river but mucked upon seeing Mo's hand.
