George Alexander Eliminated in 24th Place ($2,982)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
George Alexander
George Alexander

George Alexander busted shortly after the redraw. He was sweating his river card with the other six face up.

George Alexander: {3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / {4-Clubs}
Maxwell Troy: {A-}{9-}{Q-}{7-}{10-}{5-}{9-}

Alexander couldn't peel any card that would improve his pair of sevens and he lost his stack to Maxwell Troy, who had a pair of nines.

Barile More Than Doubles

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Perry Friedman: {X-}{X-} / {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades} - fold
Elias Hourani: {X-}{X-} / {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{Q-Spades} / {X-}
Mark Barile: {X-}{X-} / {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} / {X-}

Mark Barile completed with a king and was called by Perry Friedman and Elias Hourani. Barile bet fourth and was called two ways before a bet on fifth was called only by Hourani. Barile paired his nine and bet, Hourani called, and Barile was then all in for fewer than a full bet on seventh.

Hourani checked his cards and folded {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} face up.

"Some Guys Play Great, Some Guys Catch Great"

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson: {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} / {5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Julien Martini: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {2-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

We arrived for a betting round on sixth street where Chris Ferguson bet and Julien Martini called. Martini checked to Ferguson on the river and Ferguson fired again. Martini called.

Ferguson said he had a straight and shoved the {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to prove it. Martini's hand couldn't compete.

"Some guys play great, some guys catch great," Maxwell Troy, who is sitting on the table, said. "I'm not saying who is who, but..."

Ferguson laughed and said that he agreed.

Then Katherine Flecke joined the debate, saying that she'd rather be lucky and win than play great. Naturally, the table agreed with her.

Warren Colman Eliminated in 23rd Place ($2,982)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Warren Colman
Warren Colman

Within two hands, the stack of Warren Colman had been reduced to zero with Farhad Mobassery taking most of it and Frankie O'Dell claiming the remainder in the next hand.

Warren Colman: {X-}{X-} / {K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / {X-}
Farhad Mobassery: {X-}{X-} / {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Diamonds} / {X-}

Colman completed with the king and Mobassery called before Colman bet fourth to seventh. Mobassery called from fourth to sixth and raised on seventh. Colman called and mucked when he was shown the {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a straight by Mobassery.

Warren Colman: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} / {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {K-Hearts}
Frankie O'Dell: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} / {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {10-Spades}

In the next hand, Colman was all in on third and O'Dell looked him up. O'Dell ended up with just a pair of jacks, but Colman couldn't connect at all to bust out in 23rd place for $2,982.

Fleck Squeezes Out a Flush to Double on the Last Hand Before Dinner

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Katherine Fleck completed with an ace and Jameson Painter called, having an ace in the door as well. Andrew Van Dervolgen was the bring-in and he raised, getting calls from both Fleck and Painter.

Van Dervolgen continued on fourth but Fleck raised with her board showing two clubs. Painter escaped and Van Dervolgen stuck around.

He fired on fifth again and three-bet when Fleck raised, putting her at risk. She called off with a flush draw.

Van Dervolgen was ahead with nines and while he failed to improve, Fleck spiked a pair of fours on sixth for additional outs. She peeled a club on the river to fill her flush draw and doubled to 67,500. Meanwhile, Van Dervolgen was left with just 7,000.

Andrew Van Dervolgen: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} / {3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {X-}
Katherine Fleck: {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} / {9-Clubs}

Andrew Van Dervolgen: {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts} / {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} / {Q-Spades}
Katherine Fleck: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} - fold
Michael Moore: {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / {3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} / {9-Diamonds}

Andrew Van Dervolgen completed with a queen showing and Katherine Fleck called, as did Michael Moore. On fourth, Van Dervolgen was all in for 2,000 and Fleck raised to 6,000. Moore made it three bets and Fleck gave it some thought.

"You have exactly the nightmare you don't want to see," Moore said, and Fleck folded shortly after.

Upon showdown, Moore showed a pair of kings and improved to kings and fours on fifth. While Van Dervolgen made inferior two pair eventually with queens and deuces, he was eliminated in 22nd place for $2,982.

Mobassery Pushes Out Grospellier

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Bertrand Grospellier: {X-}{X-} / {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} / {X-}
Farhad Mobassery: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}

Bertrand Grospellier called and Farhad Mobassery completed. Grospellier and two other players joined the action to fourth street where Mobassery bet again. Only Grospellier called and he continued firing all the way through. Grospellier called on fifth and sixth but he shook his head on the river and folded.

Grospellier is now sitting on a short stack while Mobassery lies on the other side of the leaderboard.
