Tamm Forces Landaal Out

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

The action was picked up with roughly 45,000 chips already in the middle, and a flop of 6♣Q♥5♠ already face up on the felt.

Taago Tamm checked from the big blind, prompting Melvin Landaal to place a bet of 12,000. Tamm then check-raised to 35,000, which Landaal called.

Both players checked on the 3♦ turn, but when the J♦ completed the board, Tamm picked his betting lead back up, putting 60,000 into the middle.

There was no resistance from Landaal, who returned his cards to the dealer.

Clyde Tjauw Foe pushed his 97,000 remaining chips in from the small blind on a completed board of 5♠Q♥8♠7♦A♠. Wilhelmine Connolly went into the tank in the hijack, eventually opting to fold her hand.

"I was bluffing," Tjauw Foe stated as he tabled KxQx, only for Connolly to inform him that it was not a bluff as she mucked a queen with a lower kicker.

Harrison Falls as Bubble Approaches

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

Under the gun, Michael Harrison moved almost all of his 100,000 stack into the middle, leaving a little behind, weary of the impending tournament bubble. When the action folded to Elizabeth Bennett-Martin on the button, she moved all in, forcing the blinds out and leaving Harrison no option but to put the rest of his stack into the middle.

Michael Harrison: 10♠10♦ All in
Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: Q♠Q♣

It was not what Harrison was hoping to see, but he found plenty of renewed hope on the monotone 3♦2♦5♦ flop.

The 2♣ turn was a brick, as was the 3♣ river, seeing Harrison fall just shy of the payouts.

Steve O'Dwyer opened to 16,000 in early position, and the action folded over to Steven Biemueller in the small blind. Biemueller opted to three-bet to 30,000, which, after some consideration, O'Dwyer called.

Biemueller checked on the A♠10♠9♦, and then called a bet of 15,000 from O'Dwyer.

Before the 6♦ turn was even dealt, Biemueller announced he was checking in the dark. O'Dwyer followed suit and checked back.

The 5♥ completed the board, and Biemueller checked for a third time. O'Dwyer then carved 51,000 out of his stack and put it into the middle. His bet represented a significant portion of Biemueller's remaining 72,000 chips.

After toiling over the decision, Biemueller opted to call.

It was immediate bad news, as O'Dwyer flipped over A♥J♦ for top pair. Unable to beat it, Biemueller returned his cards to the dealer.

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

In a single-raised pot to the 10♦10♥3♥ flop, Peter Murphy check-raised the continuation-bet of John Power. Power called, growing the pot to 170,000 when the K♦ hit the turn.

Murphy reverted to checking, prompting Power to bet 70,000. Murphy sighed as he shipped in his remaining 130,000 chips, and Power quickly called with the covering stack.

Peter Murphy: Q♠Q♦ All in
John Power: A♥8♥

Murphy's queens were in the lead, but Power completed his flush on the 6♥ river to send his opponent out of the Main Event.

Nursing a stack of just 14,000, Dara O'Kearney limped in before seeing a raise to 25,000 from Neculai Macovei. The action folded back to O'Kearney, who committed the rest of his chips.

Dara O'Kearney: A♦K♥ All in
Neculai Macovei: K♦Q♣

A promising situation for O'Kearney soon turned sour, as the dealer burned and turned a Q♠9♥4♦ flop.

The 7♠ turn and K♠ river couldn't save the PokerStars Team Pro member, as his main event came to an unfortunate end.
