Last Hand Before Break

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Right before the break, Phil Galfond led out for 175,000 on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and his neighbor Tony Gregg raised to 415,000. Galfond called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, both players checked, and the {a-Spades} completed the board. Galfond led out for 545,000, and Gregg went deep into the tank. The 2013 One Drop High Roller winner cracked his knuckles and leaned forward in his chair, examining the board. He then turned his attention to his own stack, then looked blankly to the ceiling, murmuring several things under his breath.

He finally called, committing more than a quarter of his remaining stack, and Galfond turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Gregg mucked, then immediately exited the area for a break.

Here are counts from the entire table:

A Newey Hope; Newey Doubles Through Ivey

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Paul Newey Doubles
Paul Newey Doubles

Phil Ivey opened to 230,000 from under the gun and it folded to Paul Newey three seats over. He announced an all in three bet for 2.38 million total and it came back around to Ivey who moved out a call.

Ivey showed {J-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} but was behind Newey's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. The dealer burned a card and dealt the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, keeping Newey's ladies in the lead. The {10-Clubs} dropped down on the turn, meaning Ivey would need to catch one of the two remaining jacks to score the knockout.

The river was the {5-Spades}, sending Newey's rail into a tizzy as he scored the double up and found new life in this tournament. Newey now has about 4.8 million while Ivey has fallen to 7.59 million.

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Tobias Reinkemeier
Tobias Reinkemeier

Tobias Reinkemeier raised to 225,000 from the button and Doug Polk called from the big blind. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Polk check-called a bet of 250,000.

On the turn the {3-Hearts} popped up and Polk checked again to Reinkemeier who bet 650,000 this time around. Polk tanked for a while and called after which the river brought the {K-Spades}. Polk checked and Reinkemeier tanked for quite a bit before checking behind.

Polk showed {9-}{6-} and Reinkemeier turned over {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair, which was the winning hand.

Esfandiari Wins Last Hand Before the Break

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

After Cary Katz raised from the cutoff, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 400,000 from the small blind. Sam Trickett, his heads-up opponent from this event in 2012, called from the big, Katz came along, and all three of them saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Esfandiari checked, Trickett bet 375,000, and Katz called. Esfandiari came along as well and it was still three-way action to the {8-Spades} turn. Esfandiari checked for a second time, and Trickett bet a hefty 1.25 million. Katz took his time before folding, Esfandiari called, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Esfandiari checked for a third time, and Trickett thought long and hard before checking behind. Esfandiari tabled with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and it was good as Trickett mucked.

Trickett Bests Katz

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Sam Trickett raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Cary Katz defended his big blind to see a flop of {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}, which they both checked. When the {5-Hearts} appeared on the turn, Katz check-called a bet of 300,000 before betting 400,000 on the {8-Hearts} river.

Trickett made a quick call and Katz sheepishly showed the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a missed flush draw. Trickett then tabled the {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair and the win.

Reinkemeier's Two Pair is Better

Level 13 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Colman raised to 250,000 from the button and found a call from Tobias Reinkemeier in the big blind. The two took a suited and connected flop of {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Both players checked and the {3-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn.

Reinkemeier fired fourth street for 350,000 and Colman stuck around to see the river. The {8-Spades} rolled off and both players quickly checked. Colman tabled {J-Spades}{8-Clubs} for two pair but was ultimately bested by Reinkemeier's {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a better two pair. Reinkemeier picked up the pot and now has about 7.2 million in chips.
