Ryan "TheSims" Hohner Off to Better Start on 2nd Bullet

In Level 9 (1,000/2,000), action folded to Ryan "TheSims" Hohner, who recently re-entered the field, and he raised to 4,599 on the button. "TopCreature" called from the small blind and it was heads up to the {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop.

"TopCreature" check-called a bet of 4,168 and the {q-Spades} paired the board on the turn.

"TopCreature" checked for the second time and Hohner bet 6,753. "TopCreature" then woke up with a check-raise to 23,869 and Hohner called to see the {k-Hearts} double pair the board on the river.

"TopCreature" checked and Hohner moved all in for just over 61K. That did the trick as "TopCreature" wasted little time in folding.

Event #10 Champ "Luckyduck" Stays Alive

In Level 7 (600/1,200), the short-stacked "Luckyduck," who you might recall defeated Ari Engel to win Event #10, moved all in for 2,707 under the gun and action folded to "Burgersssss," who called out of the big blind.

"Burgersssss": {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
"Luckyduck": {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

"Luckyduck" got it in good and he extended his lead by pairing his jack on the {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop. Neither the {10-Spades} turn nor {5-Hearts} river changed a thing and "Luckyduck" scored the double.
