Benjamin Craig
Benjamin Craig

Bohdan Slyvinskyi raised to 60,000 from hijack with {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and Evan Bethyo called in the cutoff. Benjamin Craig three-bet shoved for 195,000 from the small blind, and Slyvinskyi four-bet to 400,000. Bethyo five-bet jammed, and Slyvinskyi folded, saving his last 1.1 million.

Benjamin Craig: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Evan Bethyo: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

A classic race came to a screeching halt for Craig when the {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Bethyo a set. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {j-Clubs} river couldn't deliver Craig a running straight, and the start-of-the-day short stack exits the final table, while Bethyo hits the four-million chip marker.

"How You Doin'?"

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matt Schurter raised to 80,000 from middle position, and Dale Hackney three-bet to 225,000 from the hijack. Tim Barany four-bet to 475,000, which chased off Schurter. Hackney tanked for a minute, and asked if he could talk about the hand. HPT Tournament Director Jeremy Smith informed him that he could not, so Barany looked over at Hackney and said, "How you doin'?" to the delight of the table.

Hackney tanked for another minute, crossing his arms in contemplation, then folded.
