a_sad_goat

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up just before the flop was dealt out, with Justin Bonomo having bet from the cutoff and called when Kristen Foxen three-bet.

Bonomo checked the 2♣J♦J♠ flop and Foxen bet 150,000. Bonomo check-raised to 350,000 and Foxen made the call.

The turn came the 9♠ and Bonomo bet 300,000. Foxen called.

On the A♠ river Bonomo moved all in, covering Foxen who had just under 600,000 behind. Foxen used one time bank while considering her options before opting to fold. Bonomo was awarded a large pot, bringing his stack just past the five million mark.

Arends Doubles Through Bonomo

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jans Arends opened on the button and Justin Bonomo in the small blind responded with a three-bet to 700,000. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to Arends, who chose to ship the remainder of his stack. Bonomo, after some thought, called to put his opponent at risk.

Jans Arends: J♣J♥
Justin Bonomo: A♠10♥

Arends was in a good spot to secure a crucial double on the soft bubble and did just that after the board ran out 2♣4♦9♣8♣7♣, much to the disappointment of the rest of the field.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Brian Rast moved all in for his last 455,000 from early position and Dan Smith made the call from middle position, committing just under half of his stack. Action folded back to Chris Brewer in the big blind who moved all in himself, covering both players. A frustrated Smith folded and Rast was all in at risk against Brewer.

Brian Rast: 6♦6♥
Chris Brewer: J♠J♥

The board ran out 8♣Q♠4♥Q♦4♦ and Brewer took down a huge pot while eliminating Rast three spots shy of the money.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With action heads up on the river and the board showing 5♣J♣6♦Q♦4♦ Bill Klein bet 425,000 putting Brian Rast into the tank. The bet was roughly pot-sized and represented a little over half of Rast's remaining chips.

Rast considered his options and used one time extension chip before making the call.

Klein showed K♦3♦ for a king-high flush and Rast was forced to concede the pot to Klein.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Brian Rast had the J♦8♠ in front of him while the board read 8♥9♦9♥5♦9♣ for a full house. Masashi Oya was cutting out chips worth 385,000 to pay Rast his double-up.

Dan Smith and Anton Morgenstern were kind enough to confirm that Oya had the J♥10♥.

Brooks, Darie Gone

Niveau 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

John Brooks moved all in for his last 105,000 from under the gun before Kevin Rabichow three-bet to 180,000 in the cutoff. The remaining players got out of the way to put Brooks officially at risk.

John Brooks: 10♦10♠
Kevin Rabichow: J♥J♦

"Of course" sighed Brooks as he realized he was in rough shape. The 7♦A♣K♥Q♣7♥ runout brought no help to the at risk player, bringing Brooks' tournament to a close.

At another table, Vlad Darie was seen exiting the tournament area with Alex Foxen the beneficiary of his chips, holding K♥K♠ on a board reading 3♠2♦J♣6♣K♦.
