Rutherford Gets the Best of Dianaty

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Anthony Dianaty raised from middle position to 60,000 only to see a three-bet come from Timothy Rutherford in the cutoff to 225,000. Dianaty made the call to see the flop come 2?2?K?.

Dianaty checked over to Rutherford who continued with a bet of 100,000. Dianaty wasted little time in making the call and watching as the 5? hit the turn.

Dianaty checked again and Rutherford paused briefly before reaching into his stack to assemble a bet of 275,000. Dianaty wasn't quick to release his hand, but after using a time bank and letting the clock tick down to five seconds remaining, he decided to slide his cards towards the muck as Rutherford added to his stack.

David Jackson limped the small blind, Aaron Massey jammed the big blind, and Jackson called all in for about 450,000.

David Jackson: A?A?
Aaron Massey: 7?7?

Jackson was in good shape for the double until the J?7?6? flop left him needing help. The 2? turn changed nothing, and the J? river gave Massey a full house to confirm Jackson's elimination in 22nd place for $9,125.

Betito Doubles Through Yokosawa

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Liran Betito
Liran Betito

On a board reading 3?4?Q?4?, Liran Betito checked over to Masato Yokosawa who bet out for 240,000. Betito paused briefly before check-jamming for 1,330,000 total. Yokosawa made the quick call to set up a runout with Betito at risk.

Liran Betito: K?4?
Masato Yokosawa: K?Q?

With one card to come, Yokosawa would need a queen or a diamond to steal the pot back and send Betito home, but when the board completed with the 5? on the river, Yokosawa sent a big double Betito's way.

Timothy Rutherford
Timothy Rutherford

Liran Betito opened to 65,000 in the cutoff and Timothy Rutherford three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind. Action came back to Betito who four-bet to 675,000, Rutherford jammed for about 1,300,000, and Betito snap-called.

Timothy Rutherford: A?K?
Liran Betito: A?A?

Rutherford needed a lot of help as the dealer spread the 6?5?4? flop.

"Chop it up," Rutherford said hopefully.

The 3? turn brought chop possibilities, and the 2? hit the felt on the river as the two players indeed chopped it up.

Timothy Rutherford Eliminated in 20th Place ($10,495)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Timothy Rutherford
Timothy Rutherford

A player in early position raised to 60,000 only to see Timothy Rutherford three-bet to 175,000. Action folded to Anthony Dianaty who came in for a four-bet to 500,000.

The original raiser folded but Rutherford wasn't so quick to release his hand. After using up two time banks, Rutherford moved all-in only to see a snap-call from Dianaty to put Rutherford at risk and headed to a runout.

Timothy Rutherford: Q?Q?
Anthony Dianaty: A?A?

The board ran out 5?4?J?8?7?, securing a massive pot for Dianaty and sending Rutherford home in 20th place for $10,495.

Over the next few hands, Dianaty would go on a rush and pick up aces three times and kings once in a single orbit to extend his growing chip lead to over 6,000,000.
