Queens for Clee

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Terence Clee raised to 7,000 and the player on the button called after which Jack O'Neill and Alex Rocha called from the blinds.

The flop brought out {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and both blinds checked to Clee who bet 15,000. The player on the button folded right away, O'Neill called and Rocha folded.

On the {K-Spades} turn both players checked, and they did so as well on the {4-Hearts} river.

Clee showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and O'Neill mucked so that the former chipped up to 170,000.

Dzmitry Urbanovich Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Dzmitry Urbanovich
Dzmitry Urbanovich

Polish poker phenom Dzmitry Urbanovich has just been eliminated from the tournament. He started out the day with just under quarter of a million chips, but was already down to 145,000 when his final hand started.

Jack O'Neill raised to 11,000 from the button and Urbanovich three-bet to 22,500 from the small blind with about 120,000 behind.

The big blind quickly released but O'Neill had bigger plans. The Brit four-bet to 46,000. Urbanovich leaned back and thought about it for just a bit before announcing all in. O'Neill instantly called by tossing in some more yellow 5,000-chips.

Jack O'Neill: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Dzmitry Urbanovich: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Urbanovich left the tournament area.

Short Stacks Battle at Feature Table

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Up at the feature table, a short-stacked Thomas Miller got his last 17,000 all in preflop and was at risk against James Broom.

Broom: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Miller: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Miller was well out in front, and he was never in any danger as the board ran out a dry {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Reijmer Back in Business

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Daniel Reijmer lost a huge hand to Joe Hachem late last night with kings versus aces, diminishing his one time big stack.

He started the day with just over 80,000 in chips but soon lost some to get down to 60,000.

That was the time his rise started though, first doubling up with {A-}{K-} winning a flip against {Q-}{Q-}.

Not much later he opened with {K-}{10-} suited and got called by the small blind. Reijmer flopped the nuts on {A-}{J-}{Q-} and got paid off three streets as the board ran out {5-}, {J-}.

Small One for the Day 1b Chip Leader

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With 12,000 in the pot and a flop of {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Ryan Hong bet 5,000 from the small blind and Alex Rocha, who you will recall finished Day 1b as the chip leader, called from the cutoff. After the dealer burned and turned the {4-Hearts}, Hong bet 7,000, Rocha called, and the {Q-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Hong slowed down with a check and then folded after Rocha tossed out 18,000.

Lorch Gets A Fold

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ari Engel just raised to 7,000 and three players called, including Jackson Lorch in the big blind. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Lorch checked to Engel who bet 11,500, and both the button and Lorch made the call.

On the turn the {J-Diamonds} hit, and now Lorch lead out for 20,000, which got both his opponents to quickly fold.

At this point, when the pot was pushed to Lorch, he showed yours truly his hand, and we noted the two cards he held.

"Can we write it?" we asked.

"Later," Lorch said with a smile.

"It's now or never," we asked, as the hand would be posted right away, and Lorch opted for 'never'.

"Big fat aces," Lorch then told the players at the table, who were left wondering what he had.

Martin Jacobson Busts in "Next Level Jedi Mind Trick" Hand

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Mikel Habb raised to 7,000, and Martin Jacobson pushed from the small blind for 70,000. Bernhard Haider, from Austria, shoved from the big blind for 85,500, and action moved back to Habb.

"I have a big hand, you know," Habb said while looking at both Jacobson and Haider. He then revealed his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and played around with them for a good minute before folding.

"Oh wow," Jacobson replied upon seeing the fold.

Jacobson showed the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Haider revealed his {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and the other players at the table went wild, as did the rail.

"You just folded queens, bro?" asked Alek Givotovsky at the top of his lungs. Habb didn't look to bothered by the showdown, still confident his fold was "good."

The flop came {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Habb still didn't seem too fazed. The {10-Hearts} on the turn brought a mysterious grin to his face, followed by a determined pointing finger to the rail, Givotovsky, and other critics after the {10-Diamonds} completed the board to give Haider trips.

"Bravo!" shouted a fan on the rail. "Well done!"

"This is like some next level Jedi mind trick man!" Givotovsky added.

"Bravo! Happy for you man" shouted the man on the rail again.

"This guy is straight out of Hogwarts!" Victor Teng concluded.

Levy Shoves on the Dunst

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Michael Levy in the small blind and he put in a raise, how much we're not sure. What we do know is that Tony Dunst three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind and Levy called to see an {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop.

Levy check-called a bet of 22,000 and then action went check-check on the {9-Clubs} turn. When the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Levy announced that he was all in and Dunst snap-folded.

Fast Doubles Through Tolhopf

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With around 30,000 in the pot and a board reading {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}, Bowdy Tolhopf moved all in from the big blind and WSOP Europe bracelet winner Dietrich Fast, who was under the gun, hit the tank debating what to do with his remaining 37,000.

Eventually he opted to call it off, and he was glad he did as his {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} bested the {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} of Tolhopf.
