Reilly Not Rewarded for a Good Call

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tim Reilly
Tim Reilly

Tim Reilly raised to 18,000 on the button and was called by Cary Katz in the small blind. Ben Tollerene was in the big blind and jammed all in for 265,000. This was the second time in as many orbits that Tollerene shoved on Reilly's open, and this time Reilly took a stand and made the call. Katz quickly got out of the way as the two remaining hands were tabled.

Ben Tollerene: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Tim Reilly: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Reilly made a good call but it quickly turned sour as the flop came {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, giving Tollerene a pair of tens. The {4-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Diamonds} on the river were no help to Reilly as he was sent to the rail.

Riess Takes Two from Peters

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop reading {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Ryan Riess led out for 15,000 from under the gun. David Peters raised to 53,000 on the button and Riess sent the action back with a re-raise to 115,000. Peters dispatched of his cards and Riess raked in the pot.

Just two hands later, Peters opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Riess three-bet to 69,000 from the small blind. Dan Smith folded his big blind and Peters called to go heads-up to a flop of {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Riess led out for 45,000 and Peters stuck around to see the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. Both players checked and the {3-Clubs} completed the board. Riess checked again and Peters announced a bet of 140,000. Riess wasted no time to call and Peters tabled {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for just king-high. Riess turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks to scoop another pot.

Katz Folds to a Big Bet

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cary Katz and Ben Tollerene were heads-up when the flop fell {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Katz checked from the cutoff and Tollerene slid in a bet of 20,000, which Katz instantly called.

The {9-Hearts} landed on the turn and both players checked to the {2-Clubs} on the river. Katz checked one more time and Tollerene pushed forward a bet of 125,000. Katz sent his cards to the muck rather quickly and Tollerene took down the pot.

Lucky Ducks for Riess

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Ryan Riess limped in from the small blind and Dan Smith made it 42,000 to go from the big blind. Riess called and then checked when the flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Smith continued for 25,000 and Riess check-raised to 68,000. Smith called to see the {2-Hearts} pair the board on the turn.

Riess checked this time and Dan Smith pushed in a bet of 140,000. Riess check-raised all in for 423,000 and Smith made the call. Riess tabled {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for quad deuces and Smith was left drawing dead with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. When the chips were counted, Smith was left with just 3,000 and would go on to bust on the next hand.

Riess started his journey up the leaderboard when he flopped a set of deuces earlier on in the day. Along with Smith, Adrian Mateos left his seat after he busted to Jake Schindler, leaving just 11 players remaining. The two tables will now be hand-for-hand on the money bubble.
