Joey Couden Eliminated in 9th Place ($17,041)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Joey Couden
Joey Couden

Ryan Wince raised to 125,000 from early position with the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and he picked up a caller in the form of Joey Couden, who called from the big blind with the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The flop was a juicy one as it came {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} to give Wince a set of jacks and Couden a straight draw. Couden bet 125,000 and was called by Wince.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} to bring the straight home for Couden. He checked over to Wince who elected to check back.

The river turned the tables as it came the {9-Clubs} to give Wince the full boat. Couden bet 285,000 over to Wince who paused a moment before shoving for 2.6 million, which was enough to but Couden all in.

Couden took his time to make the decision, clearly torn on what to do. After a couple of minutes he made the call and saw the bad news when Wince flipped over the full house to beat his straight.

Couden threw his cards on the table and got up to shake the hands of his tablemates as his run in the HPT Columbus Main Event was over in 9th place for $17,041.

Thila Narayanan raised to 150,000 from the cutoff and Kevin Eyster went all in from the button for 595,000. Narayanan made the call to put Eyster at risk for his tournament life.

Narayanan: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Eyster: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}, and Eyster's pocket nines double him up to put him at 1.190M in chips.

Big Stacks in a Pot

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jeff Hart raised to 130,000 under the gun and it folded around to Abdul Amer in the big blind who made the call. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, Hart made a continuation-bet of 150,000, and Amer called.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and it was checked around.

The river came the {k-Clubs}, and it was checked around again. Hart showed {a-}{q-}. Amer mucked, and Hart took down the pot.

Sah Doubles Up

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Adam Friedman raised in early position to 135,000 with the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Mandeep Sah looked down at the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and moved all in for 1.1 million in chips.

Action folded back around to Friedman who looked at his chips for a moment and called, only to see that his jacks were dominated by the queens.

The board would provide no help to Friedman as it ran out {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} to keep Sah alive with a nice double up and leave Friedman with under 1 million in chips.

Eyster Gets Chip Boost

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Abdul Amer raised under the gun to 160,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. He picked up three callers, Mandeep Sah from the cutoff with the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Thila Narayanan from the small blind with the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and Kevin Eyster from the big blind with the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Eyster was rewarded for calling from the big blind as the flop came {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The action checked around to Amer who continued with a bet of 175,000. Sah called and Narayanan folded. Action was then on Eyster who shoved all in for his remaining 835,000.

Amer thought for a while, considering the hand and the situation before eventually laying it down. Sah then went deep into the tank as he contemplated whether his nines were good on this board. He hesitated slightly while reaching for his cards but did eventually fold to give Eyster a beefy pot to add to his stack.
