Davisson Welcomes Back Kottler

Jeremy Kottler raised to 38,000 on the button and Steven Davisson moved all in for 211,000 total from the small blind. Kottler made the call and the players turned up their hands.

Kottler: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Davisson: {10d]{9-Diamonds}

It was off to the races but not for long as Kottler took a commanding lead with the {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing nor did the {7-Clubs} on the river as Davission doubled up.

Jonas Mackoff Eliminated in 20th Place ($13,978)

We caught up with the action on the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} where Jonas Mackoff got it all in against Benjamin Volpe.

Mackoff: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Volpe: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Mackoff flopped top two but Volpe held a straight so Mackoff would need a queen, jack or some form of runner-runner to survive and double up. The {2-Spades} on the turn was a brick for Mackoff and although the river paired the board, it was the wrong pair with the {9-Hearts} which sent Mackoff to the payout desk.

Randy Kritzer Eliminated in 21st Place ($13,978)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From early position, Daniel Sosa raised to 31,000 before Randy Kritzer went all in from the small blind. After the big blind got out of the way Sosa quickly made the call and the cards were placed on their backs.

Kritzer: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Sosa: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} which provided the all in Kritzer with no relief. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Kritzer would need to find an Ace or a Jack to stay alive. He bricked with the {10-Hearts} and exited the tournament in 21st Place.

Sosa, on the other hand, now has 600,000 chips.

Scott Shelley Eliminated 22nd Place ($13,978)

Michael Souza raised to 30,000 in middle position and Mark Schmid called in the hijack. Scott Shelley re-raised all in for 230,000 in the cutoff and Souza made the call while Schmid folded.

Souza: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-}
Shelley: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Shelley who picked up a flush draw said “diamonds would be nice”. The turn was the {9-Clubs} which gave him outs to the king and nine as well and the table said “more outs”. The river blanked with the {5-Clubs} though and Shelley was eliminated while Souza took back the chip lead.

Michael Rushton Eliminated in 23rd Place ($13,978)

It folded around to Michael Rushton in the small blind. With about 250,000 left, he moved all in and Michael Souza was waiting in the big blind with an easy decision. He called with {A-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and was dominating the {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} of Rushton. The flop came {4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the turn was the {j-Diamonds}. That left Rushton drawing dead and out of the tournament in 23rd place.

From early position, Andy Wong moved his final 179,000 into the middle. The action folded to Mark Schmid who isolated from the button by moving all in and the blinds got out of the way.

Schmid was just slightly ahead with his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of Wong. The board ran out {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Wong was unable to improve on his hand. With the pot, Schmid has now chipped up to 430,000.

Wenlong Jin Eliminated in 25th Place ($13,978)

We missed the action but found Wenlong Jin all in and at risk preflop against Ravi Raghavan.

Raghavan: {A-}{A-}
Jin: {J-}{10-}

The {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} was pretty much as good as Jin could have asked for without taking the lead as he flopped an open-ended straight draw. However the {4-Hearts} turn and {5-Hearts} river bricked for him and he was eliminated.
