Kim Shoves From the Small Blind

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

Phil Youngclaus opened the action to 9,000 and Adam Bacon reraised on the button to 21,000.

David Kim was in the small blind and shoved all in for 62,500. The action folded back to Youngclaus, who folded.

Bacon took his time to decide his next move. He had 78,000 behind, so a misstep on this hand could be pretty much the end of his tournament. He decided to fold and Kim won the pot.

Anthony Keefe Eliminates HPO Amassador Chris Moneymaker

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

"Do I get a bonus for that," Anthony Keefe said after he busted HPO Ambassador Chris Moneymaker.

The two got all in on the turn. Keefe had the better of it with a pair of queens and a king kicker, while Moneymaker also had a queen, but his pair came with a flush draw.

The board read {3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and the river was the {2-Spades}, which gave Keefe the pot.

Hulsey Picks Off Tepen With Underboat

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Brett Hulsey just called 30,000 on the river of a double paired board with the bottom full house.

The action started when Tepen opened on the button for 7,000 and Zal Irani called from the small blind, Hulsey from the big.

The flop was {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} and all players checked. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the action checked to Tepen, who bet 10,000. Irani folded and Hulsey called.

The river was another four, the {4-Spades} and Hulsey checked again. Tepen bet 30,000 and Hulsey took about 15 seconds to think. He called and flipped over {3-}{4-} for a full house, fours full of aces. Tepen showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Hulsey won the pot.
