Zeitlin Exits

David Zeitlin falls
David Zeitlin falls

Ryan Hemmel opened to 41,000 from the cutoff only to have David Zeitlin move all in for 375,000 from the button. Hemmel deliberated slightly before making the call.

Hemmel: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Zeitlin: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop put Hemmel in the lead, and after the {j-Diamonds} and {K-Spades} fell on the turn and river, Zeitlin exited in 24th place as Hemmel climbed to 1,280,000 in chips.

Ace-High Double for Swick

Bernard Ko opened the button to 40,000 only to have Michael Swick move all in for 145,000 from the big blind. Ko made the call and we were off to a showdown.

Ko: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Swick: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board fell a rather undramatic {5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} to see Swick double through to 322,000 as Ko slips to 485,000 in chips.

Mike Sowers bites the dust
Mike Sowers bites the dust

With the action folding round to Mike Sowers in the small blind, he moved all in for 121,000 and James Schaaf made the call from the big bind.

Sowers: {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Schaaf: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board fell {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to see Schaaf's queen-high send Sowers to the rail in 25th place for a $17,289 payday as Schaaf climbs back to 885,000 in chips.

Ko Not KO'd

James Schaaf made it 45,000 to go before Bernard Ko moved all in for 324,000. Schaaf made the call and tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Ko showed {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The board rolled out {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and that was good enough for a Ko double to 690,000. Schaaf, our chip leader coming into the day is down to 870,000.

Johnson Doubles

From the cutoff, Thomas Johnson made it 40,000 to go before the big stack at the table, James Schaaf moved all in. Johnson made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Johnson: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Schaaf: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The flop brought just what Johnson needed when it came down {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and the turn, {6-Spades} and river, {2-Spades} kept his tournament hopes alive.

Schaaf has 1,090,000 and Johnson is at 450,000.

Lee Double Double

Andrew Rosskamm opened to 50,000 from the button and Bernard Lee committed his 46,000 from the small blind.

Rosskamm: {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Lee: {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} to see Lee double through to 115,000.

The very next hand as the action folded to Lee in the small blind and he moved all in with Ryan Hemmel making the call from the big.

Hemmel: {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Lee: {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to gift Lee back-to-back double ups to 246,000.

With his second double, Lee leapt from the chair and slapped our PokerNews reporter hard on the butt . . . excited much?
