Big Hands/Storylines:
Limit Session
Parker Gets Better of Benyamine
In a fast paced hand that leads one to believe that these twoni have played a fair amount of poker online, Brock Parker raised to 3,000 from the button after seat 1 raised to 2,000. David Benyamine called from the big blind and so did seat 1. The flop came A Q 3 and action was checked around to Parker who fired 1,000 instantly. Benyamine called just as quick but seat 1 folded. The turn was the 6 and Benyamine checked to Parker who bet 2,000 and Benyamine called again all within a second. The river was the 9 and action was again checked to Parker who fired 2,000 but Benyamine finally yielded and mucked. Benyamine would bust shortly after when his K-10 ran into his opponent's K-Q all in.
Boeree Takes Nice Pot
On a board of KJ 92 Liv Boeree counted her chips and moved them around a bit before eventually checking. Her opponent checked behind her and the river brought the Q. Boeree bet out 2,000 and her opponent squirmed in his seat while thinking the hand over. He eventually mucked and she took a nice pot that took her back up to around 14,000.
Big Stacks Ready to Gamble
Michael Guzzardi has a lot of chips and also a lot of gamble. After seat 1 raised to 2,000, Guzzardi reraised to 3,000 and was called by seat 1. The flop came 752 and seat 1 bet out 1,000, which Guzzardi called right away. The turn was the 3 and seat 1 again bet out, 2,000 this time. Guzzardi slowed down and thought for a bit before laying his cards down. Even after the loss, Guzzardi had a nice stack and ended the level with around 27,000 in chips.
No Limit Session
 Nick Binger Doubles
Nick Binger was in the small blind when the button raised to 1,500. Binger pushed his last 8,525 all in and the buton made the call. Binger thought he was in bad shape but was actually in a coin flip situation, with his A10 up against the button's 33. The flop came KJ7 and missed Binger. But the turn brought the 10 and Binger took the lead. The river was meaningless and Binger doubled to nearly 20,000.
Johnston Runs Into Kings, Eliminated
Berry Johnston called a player's raise and the flop came 772. His opponent bet out 2,500 and Johnston raised to 10,000. His opponent moved enough chips in to cover Johnston and Johnston slammed his cards down on the table and tanked. After three minutes another player called the clock on him and the countdown began. Johnston finally called, though he seemed to know he was behind. He flipped JJ over and his assumption was correct, as his opponent flipped KK. Johnston was already walking away from the table as the turn and the river missed, coming 37 and Johnston was eliminated. As he left he muttered, "Only hand I had for a while."

Hands:
Binger Underwhelms Guzzardi
During the limit level. Binger brought it in with a raise from the hijack seat and Michael Guzzardi three-bet to 9,000. Action folded around to Binger, who called and then checked a flop of Q86. Guzzardi bet and Binger called. The turn brought another queen. Binger checked, Guzzardi bet, and Binger called. The river was the 10 and this time both players checked. Guzzardi showe AK for the nut no pair, and Binger quickly flipped over 55 for the winner. Binger is cruising with about 200,000 now while Guzzardi, who would lose another pot a few hands later when his opponent's ace king paired on the river to beat his pocket nines, is down to about 90,000.
Deveau Likes The Limit...
A table over the latter situation was nearly reenacted in a pot involving Daniel Deveau and his seat 3 opponent in a battle of the blinds. Deveau called 6,000 of his last 12,000 on a board of 43210 with ace queen and then paired his queen on the end to outdraw his opponent's pocket pair of nines. Two hands later Deveau won another big pot when he raised from the cutoff seat with A8, paired the eight on the flop, and called Michael Chu, who was firing with a gutshot straight draw that never got there, down. Deveau was up to almost 70,000 after that hand.
...But No Much The No Limit
Alas, in the no limit level, Deveau gave a bunch of those chips back when the button player raised to 4,800 and he moved all in. The button grudgingly called with AQ and was ahead of Deveau, who tabled AJ. The board ran out rags and Deveau sunk back to less than 50,000.

$1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha w/ Rebuys - Day 2 - Level 16 Recap

Note: The players are now on a 20-minute break
Blinds: 5,000-10,000
Players Left: 12 of 320
Chip Leaders:
Kyle Kloeckner - 865,000
Michael Guzzardi - 810,000
Jacobo Fernandez - 450,000
Frank Vizza - 395,000
Ted Forrest - 380,000

Tim West - 340,000
Kevin O'Donnell - 300,000
Daniel Makowsky - 274,000

Average Stack: 417,500
Eliminations:
13th – Francisco Azares
14th – Thomas Wahlroos
15th – Tino Lechich
16th – Nathan Doudney
17th – Jerrod Ankenman
18th – Steve Saris
Big Hands and Storylines:
 Kyle Kloeckner Eliminates Nathan Doudney
Tim West Raised to 35,000 pre-flop and was called by Kyle Kloeckner, Nathan Hagens, and Nathan Doudney. On a flop of 633, West checked, Kloeckner checked, and Hagens checked. When action came around to Doudney, he didn’t think for too long before betting 100,000. West quickly folded, but Klockner, perhaps suspecting Doudney of a steal, raised to 300,000. Hagens folded and Doudney quickly moved all-in for his final 60,000. Kloeckner, priced in, made the call with KJJ9. Doudney turned over a full house: 6375. Kloeckner, drawing to only a jack, had scarcely asked his tablemates if any of them had folded a jack when the dealer flipped up the turn: J! Things had turned upside-down for Doudney and now he was looking for the last trey in the deck to win the pot. Not only was the river not the case trey to save Doudney, but it was the case jack.
I guess that answers Kloeckner’s question.
After raking in the pot and stacking his chips, it appears that Kloeckner is our new chip leader with 865,000.
Thomas Wahlroos Eliminates Tino Lechich
Thomas Wahlroos raised to 35,000 pre-flop and Francisco Azares made it 110,000. Tino Lechich said, “Alright. You’ve got one.” Before moving his final 50,000 all-in. Wahlroos chimed in, “You’ve got two,” and, covered by Azares’s bet, moved all-in. The three revealed their hands:
Azares: KK52
Lechich: AKJJ
Wahlroos: AA102
The flop was a very safe one for Wahlroos: 993. The turn 6 was nearly as innocuous, though it gave Azares a gutshot straight-draw. When the river blanked, Wahlroos was jolted up to 190,000 while Azares was left with only 90,000; Azares would be eliminated only a short time later.
Michael Guzzardi Eliminates Thomas Wahlroos
Michael Guzzardi raised to 25,000 from early position and was called by three players: Thomas Wahlroos in late position, and Layne Flack and Kevin O’Donnell in the blinds. The flop came Q106 and the blinds checked. Guzzardi bet 65,000 and Wahlroos almost instantly moved his stack of 163,000 into the pot. Flack insta-folded but O’Donnell had a much tougher decision to make. “I wish I knew the math like you guys. I should have gone to school,” said O’Donnell. Eventually O’Donnell folded, and that decision turned out to be the right one as Guzzardi called and showed AJ87 for the nut flush. Wahlroos showed QQ77 for top set, and was hoping to fill up on a later street. Unfortunately for Wahlroos the turn and river came 8 and 2 and, not long after his double-up, he was eliminated. Guzzardi now has 810,000 in chips.

Big Hands and Storylines:
 Jacobo Moving Toward Final Table Number Three
Jacobo Fernandez just brushed aside another pesky impediment standing in the way of his third final table at this year’s World Series. This time the impediment came in the form of Loren Klein. Fernandez and Klein got their chips all in on a flop of K73. Fernandez showed KKJ4 for top set while Klein tabled AAQ6 for a pair of aces. The turn and river were the 3 and 6 and just like that Jacobo made another addition to his growing stack of chips. He currently has 450,000.
Forrest on Fire
Ted Forrest just added to his growing stack in a hand against Frank Vizza. Forrest raised to 25,000 from late position and Vizza called from the button. The flop came AQJ and Forrest checked. Vizza bet 45,000 and Forrest called him. Both players checked the T turn and Forrest bet out big – a pot-sized bet – on the river 2. Vizza tanked, focusing on the newly dealt river card, but eventually laid his hand down. That pot takes Forrest up to a commanding 380,000.
Azares Does in the Powell
Ted Forrest limped in late position and Julian Powell and Francisco Azares in the blinds joined him in seeing a 764 flop. Powell bet 20,000, leaving himself only about 5,000 behind. Azares, short stacked himself, made a pot-sized raise that put him all-in. Forrest mucked his hand and the two showed their cards:
Powell: AJ87
Azares: AK54
Powell had top pair and a jack-high flush draw along with 3 outs to a straight. Azares though had the nut flush draw along with an open-ended straight-draw. The turn was the 6 and Powell was still ahead with two-pair, but a 2 on the river sent the Aussie packing. By adding Powell’s few chips to his collection, Azares is now up to 120,000 on the day.

The turn was the 6 and Powell was still ahead with two-pair, but a 2 on the river sent the Aussie packing. By adding Powell’s few chips to his collection, Azares is now up to 120,000 on the day.
