Widdoes Clips Rast

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

On a {5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop, Brian Rast fired out a continuation-bet of 3,600 from the button and was check-called by Matt Widdoes from the big.

Both players checked down the {8-Hearts} and {8-Diamonds} to see Widdoes table his {As]{4-Diamonds} to collect the pot and move to 37,000 as Rast slips to 91,000 in chips.

Marshak Meets His End

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Justin Daley opened for 3,800 from early position and Stuart Marshak three-bet to 10,000 and change from the hi-jack. Action folded back to Daley, who immediately announced, "Pot," which was enough to put Marshak at risk. Marshak made the call.

Marshak: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Daley: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, giving Daley trips and ending Marshak's deep tournament run.

Daley is up to 65,000.

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
James Dempsey bubbles
James Dempsey bubbles

James "Flushy" Dempsey has been our final player eliminated before the money. Dempsey was the defending champion for this event having won the bracelet and over $190,00 last year.

Bradley Craig raised to 4,100 from under the gun and Dempsey called. The flop came {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Craig checked, Dempsey bet 6,200 and Craig called.

The {2-Clubs} fell on the turn. Craig checked again, Dempsey bet 6,200 and Craig re raised the pot. Dempsey moved all in for his remaining 29,000 and Craig called.

Demsey flipped up {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Craig showed {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. With Craig in the lead holding a straight, he would improve on the river to a flush when the {J-Clubs} spiked.

He now has 115,000 and has sent the defending champion to the rail as the bubble boy.
