Macht Massacres Ray

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Tim Macht raised the hijack to 25,000 and Jonathan Ray responded by three-betting all in for around 100,000 from the small blind. Macht snap-called and Ray discovered the bad news.

Ray: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Macht: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Ray needed some help but didn't get any on the {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop. The {j-Diamonds} turn meant he could steal it with a lady on the river, but with two of them in Macht's hand a third did not appear as the {8-Clubs} bricked instead.

Ray was eliminated in 48th place for $911.

Wee Extends Tournament with Double Through Rosenkranz

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Brian Wee
Brian Wee

Barry Rosenkranz opened with a raise from middle position only to have the short-stacked Brian Wee three-bet all in for 77,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Rosenkranz thought for a bit before making the call.

Wee: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Rosenkranz: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Wee was out in front but Rosenkranz managed to pair his nine on the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Still, Wee flopped a diamond flush draw, and while he failed to find another diamond on the {q-Clubs} turn and {k-Hearts} river, the runout was just as good. Both players made kings and queens, but Wee's kicker gave him the double.

Gordon Sits Near the Top

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The turned board read {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and there was around 50,000 in the pot when Arnaldo Gordon checked to an opponent who bet 34,000.

Gordon check-called and the {9-Diamonds} landed on the river. Gordon threw out a relatively small bet of 25,000 and his opponent without hesitation let their hand go, shipping another healthy-sized pot to Gordon who now sits near the top.
