Brennan Doubles McCormack; Plots Miracle Comeback

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Outer Table

Over on the outer table, Keith Brennan had Robbie McCormack on the ropes when both short stacks were all in with McCormack at risk.

Robbie McCormack: {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Keith Brennan: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board came {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and McCormack turned a straight to double for 560,000.

Down to 45,000 and having invested 5,000 for the ante, Brennan was all in the next hand on the button as Henri Koivisto raised to 80,000, which McCormack in the small blind called.

McCormack bet the {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop for 100,000 and Koivisto called. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river were checked and McCormack showed {K-Spades}{10-Spades}, Koivisto had the {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Brennan tripled up with {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Right after, Koivisto raised and called the shove of Brennan with the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Brennan turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The board came {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Brennan doubled to crawl back into contention with now 10 big blinds.

Schable Takes From Groblewski

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Feature Table

In the last hand of the previous level, David Schable raised with the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to 65,000 and Jakub Groblewski defended the {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The flop brought {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Groblewski picked up a gutshot. However, he reluctantly check-folded to a bet of 70,000 by Schable before then winning the next hand with his signature move of raising and leaving one big blind behind.

Another Pot for Groblewski; Clarke Jams

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Feature Table

Mick McCloskey has taken over control on the feature table and boosted his stack to 1.5 million. Jakub Groblewski had stuck around, grinding a short stack, and raised with the {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} in the hijack. McCloskey called on the button with {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and the flop brought {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Groblewski bet 75,000 and McCloskey folded.

Soon after, McCloskey raised to 65,000 with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Patrick Clarke shoved for 665,000 with {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. McCloskey tank-folded and Clarke claimed the pot.
