Cary Long raised to 150,000 preflop and Henry Gingerich called from the big blind to see a flop of . Gingerich led out for 150,000 and then just called when Long min-raised to 300,000. Gingerich proceeded to check-call a bet of 300,000 on the turn, and then checked once again on the river.
Long put together a bet of 600,000 and slid it out, which promoted Gingerich to snap-call. Long confidently tabled the for trip kings, but it was no good as Gingerich had called him with a full house. Gingerich then said he thought Long might have ace-king.
Jeff Fielder was sitting on the short stack four handed, and his chips were going in sooner than later.
It happened when action folded to Henry Gingerich in the small blind and he simply moved all in. Fielder didn't seem excited about it, but called off his last 500,000 or so nonetheless.
Fielder:
Gingerich:
Fielder was dominated, and he was essentially drawing dead after the flop paired Gingerich. The turn made it official, and after the was put out on the river, Fielder wished table good luck and made his way to the payout desk in fourth place.
Cary Long opened for 105,000 under the gun and Ryan Phan moved all in for roughly 650,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and action was back on Long.
"I got something?" Long asked after Phan had said something.
"I got you grandpa," Phan said jokingly.
"Well, let's find out," Long said before spiking in a call.
Phan:
Long:
Phan did have something, but it proved no matter for Long who paired his king on the . That understandably took the wind out of Phan's sails, and he stood to watch the dealer deliver the and on the turn and river respectively. Phan, who fired four bullets in this tournament, exited in fifth place for $12,441.
Calvin Musil limped under the gun and Jeff Fielder called an additional 25,000 from the small blind. Cary Long checked his option from the big and three players took a flop of . Fielder checked, Long bet 105,000, and Musil min-raised to 210,000. Fielder quickly folded and Long followed suit.
That's the story of the past 15 minutes or so. Players are taking turns opening the action and taking down blinds and antes. There have been a couple flops, but they haven't amounted to much.
What a sudden change of fortunes. Minutes after flopping big to score the double elimination, Jeff Fielder has sent more than half of his chips to Calvin Musil in back-to-back hands.
In the first, Musil got his stack of approximately 400,000 all in preflop holding the and was at risk against the of Fielder. The board ran out a clean and Musil shipped the double.
In the very next hand, Musil got his stack all in preflop holding the and was dominated by the of Fielder. That all changed on the flop though as Musil spiked a set. Neither the turn nor river helped Fielder reclaim the lead, and he went through the same old motion of sending his chips across the table.
The monotony of Level 24 was just broken with a monster hand that resulted in a double elimination.
It began when action folded to Robbie Kent in the cutoff and he moved all in for 440,000. Jeff Fielder then called from the button, and when action reached Paul Ewen in the big he moved all in over the top for 490,000. Fielder seemed disgusted knowing full well Ewen woke up with a big one, but it was only 50,000 more for him to call, which he did.
Fielder:
Ewen:
Kent:
Indeed, Ewen woke up with pocket rockets, which dominated Kent and had Fielder in a bad spot. That all changed when the flop came out .
"Oh wow," Fielder said quietly as the railbird reacted to the sudden turn of events. Both Ewen and Kent watched helplessly as neither the turn nor river paired their hand. The stacks were broken down to verify that Ewen had more than Kent, which he did. That meant Kent became the seventh-place finisher and Ewen the sixth.
