Zaken Will Decide

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

C.J. Mucciaccio raised to 22,000 in middle position, Barak Zaken defended his big blind - leaving 51,000 behind - and the flop came {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Zaken checked, Mucciaccio moved all in, and Zaken folded {a-Spades}{3-Clubs} face up.

"Get it in," Leonard Palermo told him.

"I'll get it in when I want to!" Zaken said back, grinning.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

The players are now on a 10-minute break. On the final hand of the level, Jinglin Chen called a preflop raise then folded to a bet on the flop, leaving him with just 9,000 chips.

Chen Doubles Again

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Jinglin Chen was all in and at risk on a board of {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and in rough shape with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} against C.J. Mucciaccio's {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The river was a third heart - the {8-Hearts} - and Chen doubled to 95,000 chips.

Mucciaccio bounced back a few hands later, eliminating Dave Kornhauser. We are now down to 10 players.

More for Mucciaccio

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

C.J. Mucciaccio was faced with a bet of 12,000 on a flop of {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}, and raised the pot (38,500). His opponent moved all in, and Mucciaccio tank-called.

Mucciaccio: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The turn and river both produced clubs that paired the board - {4-Clubs} and {3-Clubs} respectively - and the player was eliminated. Mucciaccio is up to 230,000 chips.
