Sungwoo Survives

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Rikk Sungwoo went all in from early position preflop for about 120,000. It folded around to Kelli Phillips in the big blind who thought for a while, flashing the {a-Spades} and holding it in her hand while she thought. Eventually, she landed on a decision to call.

Rikk Sungwoo: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Kelli Phillips: {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} to give Sungwoo the Broadway draw. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river was the {a-Diamonds} to connect Broadway and keep Sungwoo alive.

Koldoff Holds to Send Semanko Out

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action folded to Bartholomew Semanko on the button, who made it 70,000 to go. Donavan Koldoff then moved all-in from the big blind for 700,000 effective. Semanko thought it over before committing his last 180,000.

Bartholomew Semanko: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Donavan Koldoff: {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board of {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} was no help to Semanko as the ace-kicker of Koldoff played.

Dempsey Makes Big Call to Double Up

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The board was {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} when Kirby Brewer moved all-in for 260,000 against his opponent, Kyle Dempsey, who only had him slightly covered.

After a minute or so in the tank, Dempsey made the call and showed his cards, much to Brewer's dismay.

Dempsey: {7-}{7-}
Brewer: {a-}{k-}

Dempsey's pocket sevens for one pair was good on the turn and the river {5-} was safe to win him the pot, eliminating Brewer.

Mitchell Felted By Set

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tyler Mitchell
Tyler Mitchell

Tyler Mitchell was seen getting up as he was drawing very thin after a flop showed {q-Clubs}{4-}{7-}. Mitchell had the {q-}{j-} but it was well behind the {7-}{7-} set of John Divecha.

The dealer quickly turned the {10-} and put a {5-} on the river to end his run and send the pot over to Divecha.

"I folded a seven too" said one of the players at the table.

"That's not what I want to hear!" said Mitchell as he was sent away.

Phillips & Gonzalez Survive Elimination

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After action had limped around, Kelli Phillips raised to 50,000 in the big blind and Vikram Vijay called on the button, but then Gonzalo Gonzalez back-raised all-in from the small blind. Phillips quickly called the bet, putting herself at risk, and Vijay followed suit, covering both.

Phillips: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Gonzalez: {a-}{k-}
Vijay: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop of {4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades} gave Vijay the lead with a pair of Tens but the turn {q-Spades} gave both Phillips and Gonzales a Broadway straight, leaving Vijay drawing dead. After a meaningless {7-Hearts} river, Phillips and Gonzalez split the pot and avoided elimination.

Quads for Sungwoo

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In a three-way all in, Rikk Sungwoo was sitting in the catbird's seat and collecting a near triple up with his {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} having hit quads on a board of {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}.

The losing hands of John Divecha with {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} of Vikram Vijay were no match for the quads, as Sungwoo collected the boost to his stack with the monster.

Becker Sends Away Amoroso

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Four-way action was picked up on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. From the big blind, Paul Becker bet 70,000 into a pot of about 100,000. The cutoff folded before Austin Amoroso jammed all in from the button for close to 200,000. The small blind got out of the way and Becker snap-called.

Amoroso had the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} while Becker had the lead with the {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}. The turn came the {q-Diamonds} and the river was the {j-Spades} to miss Amoroso and eliminate him.
