Khourie Slipping, Ebanks Holding Strong

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Bill Khourie is down under 600,000 chips and is doing his best to stay afloat. He four-bet shoved on Joe Ebanks and took down the pot. Other than that he seems to be carefully picking his spots.

Jeremy Detamore put some distance between himself and Khourie during the last level and has been holding steady.

Joe Ebanks has been on cruise control, taking down some pots here and there and staying about 2,700,000. He controls half the chips in play and doesn't seem eager to give them up.

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jeremy Detamore raised to 70,000 and Bill Khourie made it 200,000. After taking a look at Khourie's remaining stack, Detamore called and the two players saw the {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop.

Khourie checked and Detamore bet 200,000. Khourie gently tapped his fist on the table and then mucked his hand.

Bill Khourie is picking up a few small pots, he just won three in a row:

  • Hand #1: Jeremy Detamore raised preflop to 55,000 and Khourie called. The flop came {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Khourie checked to Detamore. Detamore bet 60,000 and Khourie called.

  • Hand #2: Khourie raised from the small blind to 50,000 and Detamore defended. The flop was {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}. Khourie led for 55,000 and Detamore folded.
  • Hand #3: Khourie raised to 50,000 again and this time Joe Ebanks defended the big blind. The players checked all the way down on a board that ran out {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Khourie won the pot with a pair of twos, {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Ebanks Again and Again: Greg Yeager Eliminated in 4th Place ($17,679)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Greg Yeager
Greg Yeager

Joe Ebanks has more than half the chips in play with three left. He has the chips to call most of the all ins and he has done so two hands in a row.

On this hand it was Greg Yeager who Ebanks sent home. Yeager got all in preflop with {k-}{k-} for 267,000. Ebanks called with {j-Spades}{10-Spades}. If you haven't already guess what the flop looked like here it is, {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and, as if that weren't enough, the turn was the {j-Clubs}. The river was no help to Yeager who ends the tournament in fourth place.

This time Ebanks was behind with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} of Gregg. However, Ebanks has been running super hot and the flop came in his favor when a king hit. When the board was completed {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Ebanks had busted yet another player.
