Zhang vs. Yoon

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brian Yoon raised to 13,000 from middle position and Haixia Zhang called from the button. The dealer fanned a flop of {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Yoon continued for 13,000. Zhang called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Yoon bet 45,000 this time. Zhang called and the {q-Clubs} hit the felt on the river. Yoon paused for a moment and then opted to check. Zhang checked back and Yoon tabled {q-}{j-} for a pair of queens. Zhang revealed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a pair of aces and raked in the pot.

Play is still hand-for-hand.

Werthmann Peels Aces and Doubles

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thom Werthmann jammed for 82,000 from the hijack and Ryan Riess called on his left. All other players folded and the cards were turned up upon completion of the hands on the other tables.

Werthmann: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Riess: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Werthmann peeled the goods and Riess wasn't able to crack the blades this time as the board of {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} locked the double for Werthmann.

Gagliano Continues to Abuse the Bubble

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tim Andrew raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Michael Gagliano made it 90,000 from the small blind. Andrew needed only a few seconds before he called.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Gagliano bet 50,000. Andrew called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades} turn and the {7-Clubs} river, and Gagliano turned up {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Andrew couldn't beat a six and mucked.

Di Rosa Bubbles

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joseph Di Rosa Rojas
Joseph Di Rosa Rojas

Chip leader Michael Gagliano opened to 20,000 from middle position and Joseph Di Rosa put in play his last 42,000. Gagliano called.

Di Rosa showed {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} but Gagliano had two live cards with {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Moreover, the {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop gave Gagliano a combo draw and he spiked a flush on the {4-Clubs} turn.

Di Rosia could still survive should a fourth club hit the board, but the river was the {9-Diamonds} and Di Rosa bubbled the tournament, finished in 29th place.

Brammer Eliminated by Garcia

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Cord Garcia opened to 20,000 from early position and Chris Brammer moved all in for 118,000 from late position. Garcia called.

Brammer: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Garcia: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Brammer was dominated, but that all changed when the flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to give him the nuts. Unfortunately for him, the turn was the {k-Spades} and Garcia made a bigger straight. The river was the insignificant {5-Spades} and Brammer was eliminated in 24th place.
