Play Going Hand-For-Hand

Level 16 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

The tournament has slowed considerably since players returned from break, with several stalling just a few spots shy of the money bubble.

Tournament officials then announced that play will now be hand-for-hand until the bubble bursts following two more eliminations.

Yoon Leaves Barber With Crumbs

Level 16 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Razz

Brian Yoon: XxXx/7x4xQx10x/Xx
Andrew Barber: XxXx/3x9x9xQx/Xx

Picking action up on fourth street, a short-stacked Andrew Barber called bets on fourth, then fifth, and a hesitant one on sixth as well, leaving himself just 14,000 chips.

After a final bet from Yoon on the end, Barber had nothing he could call the rest with, and he was left with just 4 1/2 antes.

Brian Yoon
Brian Yoon

Razz

Brian Yoon Kx6x2x/3x9xAx4x
Alex Livingston: 6x5x3x/Ax2x8x8x

While short stacks fight to hang in as the bubble nears, Brian Yoon has just extended his chip lead via a big pot with Alex Livingston.

After Yoon completed, Livingston made it two bets and Yoon called. Livingston bet and got called by Yoon on fourth and fifth streets, but then paired on sixth to cede the betting lead to Yoon.

Yoon now bet and got a call from Livingston before the fireworks really began on seventh street.

Yoon bet again and got raised by Livingston. Yoon then came back with a re-raise, which after a bit of thought, Livingston begrudgingly called.

Yoon showed 6x4x3x2xAx for number two, while Livingston flashed his hole cards that made 6x5x3x2xAx for number three.

Limit Hold 'em

With approximately 80,000 in the middle on a turn board of 54107, Scott Seiver was in the small blind when he check-called a bet from Brad Ruben on the button.

On the 6 river, Seiver led out but then got raised by Ruben.

Seiver shook his head and looked frustrated to see the raise in front of him. After about a minute of thought, Seiver sigh-called to see Ruben's 98 for a rivered straight to take the sizeable pot.
