A Pair is Good for Mitchell

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

When you're short-stacked, even the smallest pot can make a difference and Robert Mitchell just won one of those against Jeff Madsen. The four-time bracelet winner had opened to 12,000 under the gun and Mitchell called on his left. With the two players in seats 9 and 1, Madsen had a quick peek around the dealer before the flop was dealt.

It fell {8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and with numerous straight draws out, Madsen checked and Mitchell did the same. The turn was a {k-Diamonds} and Madsen bet min, tossing a 5k chip into the middle. Mitchell peeled and they heade to the river. It was the {8-Clubs}, pairing the bottom card and once again it went check-check.

Robert Mitchell: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Jeff Madsen: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Mitchell had the better two pair and added a welcome pot to his stack.

Hachem Eliminated by Mills

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

As recapped to us by Sean Mills, he opened to 11,000 from under the gun and the player in the cutoff three-bet to 30,000. 2005 Main Event champion Joe Hachem four-bet shoved for about 85,000 from the button and only Mills gave him action.

Mills tabled {a-}{a-}, well ahead of Hachem's {a-}{k-}.

The board ran out clean for Mills, ending Hachem's Main Event run on Day 3.

Yurasov Squeezes Out Some Value

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player in the small blind bet 27,000 on {9-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Dmitry Yurasov called out of the big.
The river was a {q-Hearts} and the small blind bet 40,000. Yurasov dropped in a raise to 110,000 and the small blind went deep into the tank. After around three minutes, he splashed in some chips.

Yurasov tabled {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and into the muck went the small blind's cards.

Decarlo Doubles With Aces

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A big pot was brewing and the completed board showed {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}. With more than 300,000 in the middle, Christopher Decarlo had checked out of the small blind and Matthew Ellis pushed all in.

Decarlo went deep into the think tank, picked up his cards and said "so sick, I have aces." The floor was called as he nearly exposed the cards, and Decarlo called soon after.

Ellis rolled over {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a busted straight draw and Decarlo doubled for 101,500 with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for aces up.

Lybaert Sniffs Out a Bluff

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Bart Lybaert
Bart Lybaert

According to Bart Lybaert, after losing a sequence of hands he's right back to where he was after calling an opponent's river bluff with just king-high.

A player opened and Lybaert called on the button, with the big blind coming along. The {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-} flop checked to the pre-flop aggressor who bet 20,000. Lybaert raised to 66,000, the big blind folded and the other player called.

The pair both checked the {q-} turn and the river was the {a-} and Lybaert's opponent bet 85,000. Lybaert called and was shown {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, with the Belgian showing {k-Diamonds}{j-} which was good enough to win the pot.

"I smelt it," Lybaert said with glee.

Kramer Loses Chips to Haberman

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Killian Kramer raised to 10,500 from mid-position and was called by Michael Haberman in the small blind while the big blind folded.

The flop came {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}, Haberman check-called the 13,000 continuation-bet of Kramer.

They both checked through the {5-Diamonds} on the turn to the {6-Spades} on the river. Haberman took over the initiative and led out for 22,000. Kramer looked at the board, took a few seconds, and then made the call but mucked when Haberman tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for the pair of jacks with the ace-kicker.

Puchkov Out with Aces Full Cracked by Madsen's Quads

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jeff Madsen

There was an open to 11,000 and it folded to Ian Pelz who made it 41,000 to go. Konstantin Puchkov was down to his last 75,000 and he put it all in. Jeff Madsen, who was sat on his direct left, raised it again, to 168,000 and both of the other players got out of the way.

Jeff Madsen: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Konstantin Puchkov: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Puchkov's tournament life was in with the best of it and the {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop did nothing to change that, with Madsen down to one out after they both hit a set. Incredibly he found it on the {k-Spades} turn and with no case ace on the {10-Hearts} river, Puchkov was sent to the rail in the most brutal fashion. Meanwhile, Madsen was last seen stacking his newly acquired chips.

Karmatckii turned up {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for air and Cosby took it down with {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.
