Couden Survives

Level 26

Joey Couden: 8?7?/9?6?3?2?/4? All in
Yuval Bronshtein: A?8?/5?4?8?A?/Q?
Nikolay Ponomarev: Ax2x/6?4?J?10?/Xx
Jon Turner: XxXx/9?6?J?7? -- folded sixth street

Jon Turner completed and Yuval Bronshtein raised. Joey Couden then three-bet all in for less with Nikolay Ponomarev calling and Turner committing the extra few chips as well.

Action checked through fourth street to fifth street where Bronshtein led out. Both Turner and Ponomarev called.

Sixth street saw Bronshtein bet again. Ponomarev called once more while Turner chose to get out of the way.

No more money went into the pot on the river. Couden managed to take the low half of the pot to survive while Bronshtein's aces up were sufficient to win the high.

Daniel Blum Eliminated in 16th Place ($5,807)

Level 26
Daniel Blum
Daniel Blum

Daniel Blum had been left short by Jon Turner in a three-way hand that also involved Joey Couden. A couple of hands later, Blum found himself all in and at risk against Nikolay Ponomarev.

At the neighboring table, James Cheung was also all in. With a pay jump on the line, play slowed down a bit but Cheung ended up chopping the pot to survive. Blum, on the other hand, was not so fortunate as Ponomarev scooped him holding trip nines to send Blum to the payout desk in 16th place.

Turner Scoops Into The Lead

Level 26

Action was picked up on sixth street in a massive pot with Joey Couden, Daniel Blum, and Jon Turner all having reached that street. Over 800,000 chips were in the middle.

Jon Turner: XxXx/3?4?9?3?/Xx
Joey Couden: XxXx/7?K?A?8?/Xx
Daniel Blum: XxXx/6?4?8?9?/Xx

Action saw players check around to Blum who bet and Couden called. Turner raised and both Blum and Couden called.

On seventh street, action checked through with Turner turning over A?6?3? for trip treys and it was good for the pot to send Turner into the chip lead and leave Couden and Blum short.

Suzuki Doubles Through Turner

Level 26

Ryutaro Suzuki completed with a 7? and Jon Turner raised with an 8? up which saw action fold back to Suzuki who called.

Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx/7?3?Q?3?/Xx All in
Jon Turner: XxXx/8?6?7?A?/Xx

Turner bet on fourth street and Suzuki called.

On fifth street, Suzuki check-called a bet from Turner and the same action repeated on sixth and seventh street, with the final street Suzuki being all in.

Turner showed K?9?9? for a pair of nines and Suzuki tabled 5?5?2? for fives and threes which was good for the double as neither player made a low.
