Gould's Aggression Pushes Qartomy Off His Hand

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On the {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Peter Gould led for 17,000 from his seat under the gun and Ray Qartomy responded with a raise to 42,000 from the button. Gould remained unnerved by this raise and promptly put another raise of his own into play, making it 92,000 to go and after Qartomy thought about his options for the best part of a minute, he let his hand go.

"Might have been a good fold, might now have been," contemplated Qartomy, but Gold refused to give anyone a clue as to what his hand strength was.

Lauck Busts Goldberg

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Steve Goldberg has been eliminated.
Steve Goldberg has been eliminated.

Steven Goldberg was getting out of his seat with an all-in chip in front of his stack as it was being counted out to ensure that Jonas Lauck did, indeed, have him covered.

Goldberg: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Lauck: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Goldberg was eliminated from the event with his pair of queens as they weren't able to hold up to Lauck's straight on the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board.

Kling's Aces Can't Hold

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ray Qartomy raised under the gun to 12,000, Britt Hightower calls in late position, and Lauren Kling moves all in from the blinds. Qartomy folded, and Hightower went into the tank. After a few moments Hightower made the call, putting Kling at risk.

Kling: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Hightower: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Hightower hit a runner-runner straight draw to eliminate Kling in 37th place, for $8,455.

Dobson Doubles West

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

With the flop out and showing {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, Ben Dobson bet 20,000 after Peter Gould checked. Herb West raised to 55,000 and Gould let go of his hand. Dobson took a minute before electing to pushing his stack in the middle, covering West. West snap-called and Dobson said "aw, a set" in disgust, knowing his opponent's hand before he even saw the cards. He was correct.

Dobson: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
West: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The {10-Hearts} and {3-Hearts} on the turn and river changed nothing and West scored the huge double-up through Dobson.

Weir Working His Way to the Top

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Kyle Weir
Kyle Weir

Kyle Weir is working his way to the top of the chip counts and is currently armed with 400,000 chips.

He added a few extra chips to his stack when he opened to 12,000 from the hijack seat, faced a 28,000 three bet from the small blind and responded with a large four-bet. The small blind mucked and Weir won the pot.

Should Weird reached 27th place or beyond, he will be guaranteed his largest-ever cash.

Wilks Shoves On Double Paired Board

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Herbert West opened to 13,000 from the hijack, Justin Wilks tanked for close to a minute in the cutoff before calling, and the other active players folded in turn.

West checked the {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and then called when Wilks bet 20,000. The turn brought the {4-Spades} into play, double pairing the board and putting two potential flush draws out there. West checked again only to see Wilks move all-in for 102,000 in total. Wilks' bet was too much for West to call and he let his hand go.
