Keeline Turns Ayow to the Rail

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ben Keeline and Kevin Ayow got all of the chips in the middle preflop and it was Ayow who was at risk for around 50,000. Keeline turned over {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and was up against the {a-Hearts}{5-Spades} of Ayow.

The flop of {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} was no help to Ayow who was looking to hit an ace. The {10-Clubs} on the turn gave Keeline a set of tens and Ayow was drawing dead to the {a-Spades} on the river.

Li Flops the Nuts, Fades Like It's Going out of Fashion

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There's no doubt that Baitai Li is back at the top of the chip counts as we approach the second break of the day. He just eliminated Shahar Levi, the majority of whose 90,000+ stack went in on a {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Levi held {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} which, needless to say, had been well in front of Li's {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} preflop, but had gone behind as Li flopped a straight. Levi still had hearts that could make him a flush, but the {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} disappointed him.

Cohen's Broadway Eliminates Wandling

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sam Cohen opened to 6,400 in early position and Jason Wandling moved all in for around 55,000 on the button. The action was back on Cohen who instantly called.

Sam Cohen: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Jason Wandling: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Cohen looked across the table to see how many chips Wandling had before the cards came out. "Don't you wanna know how much before you call?" Wandling asked.

"Nope," Cohen shook her head.

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades} to give both players a straight but Cohen's was obviously higher to eliminate Wandling.

Zorich and Boivin Swap Short Stacks

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around to Bret Zorich in the small blind who shipped all in for 21,700, around seven big blinds. Thomas Boivin was also a short stack at the table and quickly called from the big blind.

Bret Zorich: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Thomas Boivin: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to give Zorich the lead with two pair. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Clubs} on the river did not help Boivin who now fell to seven big blinds himself.

Ligeri: "Want to Run It Twice?"

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Song
Kevin Song

Justin Ligeri has eliminated Kevin Song, combining two short stacks, close in chips, into one just-under-average one. On a three-way flop of {4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} Song announced, "I'm all in," hearing, "I call," from neighbour Ligeri. This was enough for the third player to fold.

Song: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Ligeri: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} "Want to run it twice?" he asked.

The dealer ran it once, and the {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} turn and river left Ligeri with a flush and Song felted, in the bracket that pays $3,906.
