Tepen Puts a Beat on Van Blair

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Tepen got there on the turn.
Ryan Tepen got there on the turn.

We found Ryan Tepen pushing all in for 284,000 from the small blind over a cutoff open from Andy Van Blair. Van Blair made the call.

Van Blair: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Tepen: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Tepen flopped a flush draw on the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and he got there right away on the {5-Hearts} turn. Since Van Blair had the {a-Hearts}, he still could win if a heart came on the river, but the {q-Spades} was a brick.

James Mackey is not a player others want to see with chips.

We found James Mackey all in for about 180,000 in early position. Mike Lang made the call from middle position, and Steve Belland called off for 90,000 on the button.

Lang: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Mackey: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Belland: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out clean for Mackey: {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and he has a solid stack now, while Belland is done.

Vanier Busts Loehr

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Loehr
Eric Loehr

Mike Vanier opened to 23,000 in early position, and Eric Loehr moved all in for 41,000. Action folded back to Vanier, who called.

Vanier: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Loehr: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Loehr held his lead on the {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, but a {3-Diamonds} turn followed by an {8-Spades} river sent Loehr's stack over to Vanier.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Isidro Sandoval sent his stack to Matthew Anderson.
Isidro Sandoval sent his stack to Matthew Anderson.

We found Matthew Anderson with a raise to 20,000 in front of him and Isidro Sandoval all in for about 38,000. Anderson called.

Anderson: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Sandoval: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Anderson's dominating hand held on the {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} runout, and we believe he's the first player in seven figures.
