MattHansen

Niveau 28 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Jonah Seewald raised and Nick Pupillo was the lone caller from the button to see a flop of K♠10♣7♦. Seewald check-called the flop and did so again on the 9♠ turn. Both players checked the 9♥ river and Pupillo turned over A♦J♣4♣3♦. Seewald looked at his cards and shook his head before he tossed his hand in the muck to give the pot to the ace high.

A few moments later, action was three ways on a flop of 5♠K♦5♦. Timothy Frazin checked the flop and Seewald bet. Pupillo and Frazin called to see 7♥ on the turn. Frazin checked again and Seewald committed his last 130,000. Both remaining players called and the river was 2♣.

Frazin fired a bet on the turn and Pupillo called to see a showdown. Pupillo had A♥9♦7♦3♥ and Frazin had K♣K♠Q♠4♠, while Seewald showed J♣8♣6♦2♦. Frazin took half the pot with kings full of fives and Pupillo took the other half with the low. There was nothing for Seewald and he was out of the tournament in sixth place for $34,836.

Frazin bet fourth and fifth street and Smith came along for both before Frazin checked sixth street. Smith bet and Frazin called to see a down card.

Frazin bet seventh street and Smith called to get to showdown. Smith turned over 6♥5♣3♣ for a flush and a low before Frazin turned over K♥8♦8♠ to negate his flush with a full house. Sternheimer turned over A♠5♥ and peeled slowly with a six needed to stay alive. It was 10♥ and Frazin and Smith split the pot while Sternheimer was out of the tournament in seventh place for $25,919.

Eric Rabl raised from middle position before Jonah Seewald reraised from late position. Action folded around to Rabl, who put in his last chips and was at risk.

Eric Rabl: A♠K♠Q♦8♦
Jonah Seewald: A♥A♣8♥6♠

The Q♥9♥6♥ flop gave Seewald the nut flush, and by the time the 5♠ turn and 10♣ river came, Rabl was standing up and preparing to go to the payout window in ninth place.

Philip Sternheimer: XxXx/10♠7♣10♣8♦/Xx
Timothy Frazin: XxXx/4♣3♠A♠5♣/Xx

Frazin was the bring in. Bolden then moved all in for his last 25,000. Sternheimer completed over the top, to which Frazin called.

Fourth street saw Frazin bet and Sternheimer call. Both players then checked fifth.

Sternheimer check-called bets from Frazin on sixth and seventh streets to complete the action. Sternheimer showed 10♦9♥6♣ for a ten-high straight. Frazin turned over 3♥2♥3♣ for a wheel to lock up the low.

Bolden would need to beat a straight to remain in, and he turned over 4♠3♦ to give himself a sweat. His final card was the A♣, though, and he exited in tenth.

Niveau 26 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Action was joined as Peter Brownstein was putting in the last of chips on a board of Q♥J♠5♦A♥. Nghia "3 Putts" Le had Brownstein at risk as the cards were turned over.

Peter Brownstein: K♣J♥5♥4♣
Nghia Le: A♠Q♠10♣2♥

The A♦ river gave Le aces full of queens, and Brownstein's day ended with an 11th-place result.

"We're really 'Kessler'-ing up," said Timothy Frazin from the other table, explaining that it was his new term for moving up the ladder.

Paul Campbell Eliminated in 13th Place; David "Bakes" Baker Eliminated in 12th Place ($9,682)

yoeleven

Niveau 25 : Limits 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

David "Bakes" Baker: 5♣3♠/4♣A♥Q♣7♣/Xx
Eric Rabl: A♠J♣/J♦6♦10♥Q♠/Xx

Baker completed before Rabl raised. Baker made the call, putting himself at risk.

Rabl already had a seven-five low, meaning Baker would need to win the high to remain in. Rabl's final card ended those hopes, however, as he showed the A♣ for a flush. Baker's 8♥ was meaningless as he gracefully exited in 12th place.

Just prior to Baker's elimination, well-known Tournament Director Paul Campbell was eliminated in 13th place.
