Schaaf Over Bergeron; Bergeron Over Schaff

From under the gun, Craig Bergeron made it 67,000. James Schaaf moved all in for 296,000 and Bergeron made the call.

Bergeron: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Schaaf: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Schaaf won the pot when the board rolled out {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

On the very next hand, the two tangled again. The two got all their chips in the middle and Schaaf tabled {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Bergeron showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

It was Bergeron who got the best of Schaaf this time when he turned a set of sevens.

All said and done now, Schaaf is sitting on 270,000, while Bergeron has 735,000.

Caramatti Doubles

Niccolo Caramatti moved all in and was called by Daniel Buzgon made the call. Caramatti was at risk with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} versus Buzgon's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The flop rolled out {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}. It was the {6-Spades} turn that gave Caramatti a set and the {j-Clubs} on the river meant nothing to either player.

Caramatti doubled to 1,280,000 while Buzgon dropped to 180,000.

Gustavson Runs Into Quads

"I have qqqquuuuaaaaddddssss!"
"I have qqqquuuuaaaaddddssss!"

The action folded round to Dean Hamrick in the small blind and he raised it up to 82,000 with Aaron Gustavson defending his big.

Hamrick fired out 126,000 on the {6-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop and Gustavson made the call as the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Hamrick slid in a stack of 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of 210,000 and again Gustavson made the call.

The river of the {J-Spades} was checked through to see Hamrick table his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for quads to rake in the pot and move to 1,360,000 as Gustavson flashed his {A-}{6-} and slipped to 1,230,000 in chips.

Grunlund Binks the River

Daniel Buzgon raised it to 58,000 from the cutoff. The button folded and Peter Grunlund moved all in from the small blind for 325,000.

Thomas Johnson thought about it for a moment, playing with his chips, and then moved all in. Buzgon took just a moment before folding sevens face up.

Grunlund tabled {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and would need some help against the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} of Johnson.

The flop came fown {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Grunlund was looking for a queen, but it didn't come on the {5-Spades} turn. It did however bink on the river. The {q-Diamonds} fell, and Johnson lept out of his seat and walked away from the table in disbelief.

Johnson is down to 430,000 while Grunlund chipped up to 700,000.

Jacks are Good for Wiley

When we walked up to the table, it was on Niccolo Caramatti, who was in the tank after Ryan Hemmel raised, Caramatti reraised, Ian Wiley moved all in and Hemmel called. Caramatti eventually folded and Hemmel tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and was up against Wiley's {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

The {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and {9-Diamonds} fell on the flop. Keeping Wiley's tournament hopes alive, as he was covered by Hemmel. The turn brought the {10-Spades} and the river the {9-Clubs}, giving Wiley a double to just over 604,000.

"Did you say what you had?" Wiley asked Caramatti.

"Queens," he replied.
