Vitch Ousts One After Dinner

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Christopher Vitch, Tony Sinishtaj and an already all-in player in the big blind were on a board of J♥3♥5♠7♠. Sinishtaj then checked from the small blind and Vitch made a bet from the button.

Sinishtaj folded and Vitch and the big blind showed down.

Big blind: 10♠10♣
Christopher Vitch: J♠10♦

The big blind was drawing slim, in fact he only had one out. It did not come on the A♦ river and Vitch claimed another soul on Day 4.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Matthias Auer raised to 55,000 from the small blind and Joseph Druetto reraised to 115,000 in the big blind. Auer called and the flop of J♥8♠6♥ was spread across the felt.

Auer checked to Druetto who bet 110,000 and Auer still called. The turn was the K♦ and Auer checked again. Druetto ripped all in for 565,000 and Auer quickly called.

Joseph Druetto: A♣Q♠
Matthias Auer: K♥J♣

Auer made two pair on the turn while Druetto was left drawing to just a straight draw. The river was the 7♦ and Druetto was bounced from the tournament.

"Merry Christmas," one player at the table said to Auer who is now playing a stack over 3,000,000.

Lightbourne Ousts Alcorn

Ryan Lashmar

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up with preflop with Heather Alcorn all in and at risk against Iaron Lightbourne who had a covering stack.

Heather Alcorn: A♥K♦
Iaron Lightbourne: A♣A♠

Alcorn was in bad shape against Lightbourne's aces and remained so on the 10♥8♦3♦ flop. The Q♣ turn provided some outs to a broadway straight but the 8♣ river was a brick and Alcorn was sent to the rail while Lightbourne picked up a decent pot.

Kitai Forces a Fold on the River

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A player opened to 30,000 and got called by the hijack and Davidi Kitai in the big blind.

The flop gave 10♠K♦8♦ and it checked to the initial player who continued for 45,000. Both the hijack and Kitai called.

On the 5♦ turn, Kitai led out for 110,000 and after some thinking, only the initial player called.

The 3♠ completed the board and Kitai sent 175,000 in the middle. His opponent went deep into the tank but ended up folding after a few minutes.

Battenfield Sends Lamb To The Exit

Andrew Knowles

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action was relayed to PokerNews after the fact. Having just been moved to the table underneath his 2011 Player of the Year banner, Ben Lamb opened the action on the button for 30,000 and Chris Battenfield moved all in for just over 400,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Lamb called for his last 370,000.

Ben Lamb: A♣K♥
Chris Battenfield: J♠J♦

It was a classic flip situation, but when the board ran out 10♠5♦2♣7♥Q♠, it was the jacks for Battenfield that held up to send Lamb to the exit.

Lappin Loses a Flip

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

David Lappin raised to 30,000 from early position before the player on the button put out a three-bet to 105,000. Lappin confirmed the amount with the dealer and then announced his all-in, covering his opponent's 420,000 stack. The button called and the cards were revealed.

Button: A♥Q♠
David Lappin: 10♥10♦

The button would call for a queen on the 8♠4♣J♥5♥ runout, and it would finally come on the Q♥ river, much to Lappin's dismay. He doubled his opponent up and they virtually traded stacks.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Antonio Mallol Heredia raised 30,000 in early position, and Farhad Guyuron three-bet 60,000 in the hijack. The table quickly folded around to Heredia and he made the call.

The flop came 10♦9♣4♣, and Heredia check-called a bet of 60,000.

When the A♣ hit the turn, Heredia fired a bet of 255,000, and Guyuron wasted no time making the call.

When the 4♦ fell on the river, Heredia checked, and Guyuron checked back while tabling A♦Q♣. Heredia whipped his cards into the muck and the dealer pushed the pot to Guyuron.

Farhad Guyuron	1,750,000

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Albert Calderon opened to 35,000 on the button with the 9♦8♥ and Gabi Livshitz called in the big blind with J♦10♥. Both had a piece of the 10♣9♠4♥ flop and checked to the 2♦ turn. Livshitz now bet 55,000 and Calderon called.

The 7♥ on the river brought a bet of 125,000 by Livshitz and a snap-call by his opponent for the poker pro from Israel to chip up.
