Leapfrog!

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Barb Hunsel just played leapfrog with Damian Radanov on the leaderboard.

She bet 25,000 into a {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and Radanov called. The turn came the {k-Spades} and Hunsel check-called a 32,000-chip bet.

Then, on the {K-Diamonds} river, Hunsel check-called a 90,000-chip bet from Radanov with just {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Turns out she was right, as Radanov could only show {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and her two pair with an ace kicker was best.

Meek Bubbles

He ran {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} into Kyle Cartwright's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and failed to improve on the {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board.

Break!

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After a flurry of bustouts, the players have been given a 15-minute break as they redraw for seats at the final two tables with just 17 remaining.

Moneymaker, Schroeder Out!

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

Garrett Riley ({a-Hearts}{k-Spades}), Derek Schroeder ({K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}) and Chris Moneymaker ({k-Hearts}{K-Clubs}) get it all in preflop.

The board runs out {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} making Riley the best two hands, including a flush.

He had them both covered and jumped up to the top end of the counts while Moneymaker and Schroeder said goodbye.

The Cartwright Show Continues

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Kyle Cartwright
Kyle Cartwright

Kyle Cartwright just took all of James Basham's chips in a massive hand, sending his already chip leading stack into the stratosphere.

Basham min-rased, Cartwright three-bet the button and Basham called. The flop came {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and after Basham checked, Cartwright made it 18,000.

Basham raised to 55,000 and Cartwright called quickly. The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and a shove from Basham that was called just as quickly. Cartwright had {A-Spades}{Q-} and was ahead of Basham's {Q-}{10-}.

He held to bust Basham on the {j-Spades} river and is running away with this thing right now.

Radanov Gets The Ruling

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Paul Fehlig
Paul Fehlig

Paul Fehlig bet 15,000 on a {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} board and Damian Radanov made the call.

Then, on the {3-Hearts} river, Fehlig bet out 33,000. Radanov cut out a call, but in the moment before he made it, Fehlig flipped over {10-}{10-}.

The floor was called and it was ruled that the call had not yet been made. Radanov folded, much to the dismay of Fehlig, who said he was sure Radanov was calling.

"I was going to call," said Radanov. " But I hadn't yet."

Basham And Green Clash

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

James Basham called with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} after Steve Green shoved {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Green got there to stay alive on a {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board. But a hand or two later the two tangled in a raising war that eventually saw Green fold and show {a-}{q-} after putting in close to 20,000.
