Britton Bests Wilt

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A player opened to 150,000 from early position and was called by Sheldon Poe one seat over. Trenton Wilt then moved all in from late position before Alex Britton called off for less on the button. Both the early position player and Poe got out of the way.

Alex Britton: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Trenton Wilt: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Britton, though at risk, had Wilt dominated and held on the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} runout to secure a big double deep in the tournament. Wilt, meanwhile, was left with just a few big blinds.

Bregger Felts Opponent

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A player moved all in from under the gun for their last 575,000 and action folded around to Jason Bregger on the button who called. The blinds got out of the way to put the under the gun player officially at risk.

Under The Gun Player: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Bregger: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Bregger, though behind, did have two live cards and immediately paired up on the {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. There were not further lead changes as the board ran out {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to hand another elimination to Bregger. 'When you run good, you run good' remarked another player to Bregger as he raked in his newly acquired chips.

Fikac Finds Ladies to Bust Opponent

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action folded around to the button who moved all in. The small blind folded while Robert Fikac instantly called out of the big blind with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.

Button Player: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Bob Fikac: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Fikac had found queens at an opportune time but was made to sweat things out after the flop came {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. The {8-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river completed a clean runout for the ladies, sending a pile of chips and a mystery bounty redemption ticket Fikac's way.

Adams Outflips Opponent

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Dorothy Adams opened to 100,000 from middle position and action folded around to the button who called. The small blind got out of the way while the big blind decided to three-bet to a little over 2,000,000, enough to cover both of his opponents. Adams called off for her tournament life while the button folded.

Nita Adams: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind Player: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Adams was locked in a coinflip, needing to win to survive. The {5-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop brought her immediate help with neither the {9-Clubs} turn or {6-Spades} river changing matters to send Adams' stack shooting up the leaderboard.

Bregger Nails River

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sheldon Poe limped from early position and action folded around to Jason Bregger in the small blind who called. The big blind checked their option to send action three-way to the flop.

Bregger checked on a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and the big blind led out for 125,000, prompting Poe to toss his hand away. Bregger, meanwhile, moved all in and the big blind instantly called off with the effective stack.

Big Blind Player: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Jason Bregger: {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Bregger was in rough shape with the inferior flush draw. The {7-Hearts} turn did give him an opened ended straight draw but it was the {9-Hearts} river that proved his saviour, sending his opponent out of the tournament in cruel fashion.

Matei Makes Tough Call

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A player opened from under the gun and Dan Matei three-bet one seat over. Action folded back around to the initial raiser who made the call to generate heads-up action heading to the flop.

Both players checked on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to see the {3-Clubs} turn. At that point the under the gun player led out for 175,000 and was called by Matei.

The {4-Spades} river completed the board. The under the gun player decided to bet again, firing off a hefty 375,000. Matei thought long and hard before eventually calling with {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. His opponent mucked as the table collectively congratulated Matei on making a difficult and correct call.
