Hands #1-2

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Hand #1: Dominik Nitsche opened the action with a raise to 40,000. Bob Bounahra and Dave D'Alesandro called in the blinds.

Bounahra led out for 60,000 on the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and only Nitsche called. Both players checked the {9-Spades} turn, but after Bounahra checked the {q-Spades} river, Nitsche bet 125,000. Bounahra called and mucked when Nitsche rolled over {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Hand #2: Billy Horan took down the blinds with an under the gun raise to 51,000.

Hand #3: David Burt pushed all in for close to 165,000 over a Jeff Gross 48,000 open and Gross called instantly with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

Burt had {q-Spades}{j-Spades} and picked up a few outs after the {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. He quickly lost a few outs on the {2-Hearts} turn and missed everything on the {k-Hearts} river to leave in ninth place.

Hand #4: Thayer Rasmussen won the pot with a raise to 40,000 from early position.

Hand #5: Dave D'Alesandro opened to 45,000 in middle position and won the pot.

Hand #6: Bob Bounahra raised to 45,000 in early position and Rasmussen called. Rasmussen bet the turn with the board having come {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} after both players checked the flop, and Rasmussen won the pot.

Hand #7: D'Alesandro opened to 45,000, and Billy Horan shoved. D'Alesandro called after everyone else folded.

D'Alesandro: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Horan: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

It was red aces versus black aces, and D'Alesandro was the one to flop the freeroll when the dealer spread {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The {4-Spades} turn intensified the sweat, and the river brought the {5-Spades}, completing D'Alesandro's flush and sending Horan out in brutal fashion.

Hand #8: Dave D'Alesandro raised to 52,000 and took the blinds.

Hand #9: Zach Gruneberg made it 50,000 and D'Alesandro defended his big blind with a call. The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both players checked. The turn came the {5-Spades} and D'Alesandro led out for 65,000. Gruneberg made the call and both players checked the {9-Hearts} river.

D'Alesandro turned over {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Gruneberg mucked.

Hand #10: Gruneberg made it 52,000 and picked up the blinds and antes.

Hand #13: Gruneberg made it 50,000 and Thayer Rasmussen defended his big blind with a call. Rasmussen then led out for 75,000 on the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and Gruneberg released his hand.

Hand #14: The action started with Bob Bounahra making it 55,000. Rasmussen responded by pushing all in for 770,000. Bounahra made the call for his tournament life with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and found he was ahead of Rasmussen's {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

The {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop kept Bounahra ahead, but the {q-Hearts} turn crushed him. With the crowd calling for a jack or a king, the river fell the {k-Diamonds} and Bounahra was embraced by Antonio Esfandiari on the rail, having hit a miracle river to double up and take the chip lead.

Milas: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving Milas a straight draw but D'Alesandro a flush draw. The {j-Hearts} turn increased Milas' outs, and his rail began yelling for a king. The {a-Clubs} river filled D'Alesandro's flush though, and Milas busted out.

Hand #25: Thayer Rasmussen made a raise to 50,000 and Zach Gruneberg called in the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and both players checked.

Hand #26: Dominik Nitsche made it 48,000 from the button and Jeff Gross tank-folded the big blind to give Nitsche the pot.

Hand #28: Thayer Rasmussen limped the small blind and Bob Bounahra checked his option in the big. Bounahra check-called a 32,000 bet from Rasmussen on the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, before both checked the {q-Diamonds} turn.

After the {9-Clubs} river dropped, Rasmussen led for 52,000 and Bounahra took his time before making the call. Rasmussen showed {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, but his pair was no good against the straight Bounahra rivered with {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.
