Zuniga Busts

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ireland's Dermot Blain raised to 450 from under the gun and was called by Michael Zuniga to his immediate left. The pair looked on as the {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop came into view and Blain greeted it with a 550 bet. Zuniga raised to 1,700 only to see Blain make it 5,550 to go. Zuniga moved all-in and Blain called off the rest of his stack.

Blain: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Zuniga: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Blain had a plethora of outs to hit, but they failed to arrive to rescue him when the {K-Clubs} turn was followed by the {7-Clubs} river, which meant it was game over for Blain and game on for Zuniga.

Medic Shower'd

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Following an under the gun raise to 450, Nenad Medic three-bet to 1,650. Once the action returned to Medic's opponent, he pushed out a stack of chips amounting to roughly 12,000 and Medic called all-in for his 2,675 total.

Medic: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

With Medic in the lead but needing to fade an Omaha Hi-Low-type board, the flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} saw him drop way behind.

The turn of the {7-Clubs} and river of the {8-Clubs} didn't help the 2008 WSOP bracelet winner as he went to the rail.

Kitai Claims Some Chips

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The action passed around to the cutoff and he raised to 350 only to see Davidi Kitai reraise to 775 from the next seat along. Both blinds folded, but the original raiser called.

The cutoff checked to Kitai on the {4-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and Kitai bet 1,025. The cutoff wasn't prepared to pay that amount and he sent his hole cards back to the dealer.

Barer Busts

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Canada's Ami Barer has over $2 million in live tournament cashes yet none of that impressive sum stems from non-Hold'em events. Barer won't be changing that fact any time soon judging by the fact he was seen leaving the tournament area talking to Dylan Linde presumably busted from this event during the third level of play.

Adeniya Battling with Stern from the Blinds

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

With around 1,500 in the middle in a battle of the blinds, Dani Stern checked a {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop to Martins Adeniya who bet out 1,350.

Stern made the call and then checked the repeating {6-Clubs} on the turn before quickly folding once Adeniya dropped in a 1,600-chip bet.

As Stern conceded victory, he dropped to under 6,000 as Adeniya moved over 21,000 in chips.

Gruissem Gone, Lee Chips Up, Negreanu and Zaichenko Arrive

Daniel Negreanu just walked in and took a seat on table #38 at the same time Philipp Gruissem was being eliminated from the tournament by Doug Lee.

Lee Trumps Trumper

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Pete Linton raised to 400 from the cutoff and found two callers in the shape of Doug Lee and SImon Trumper in the blinds.

Lee led for 700 on the {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, Trumper called all-in for his last 300 and Linton put in the extra chips and called. The turn was the {6-Spades} and Lee check-called a 2,100 bet from Linton and then check-called a 5,000 bet on the {10-Diamonds} river.

Linton mucked when he saw the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} on Lee's hand, which in turn beat the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} on Trumper.
