Crane Eliminates Brandt With Aces

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Lawrence Brandt raised from the cutoff before Daniel Crane three bet from the big blind. Brandt called.

There was 16,000 in the pot as the flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Crane continued for 7,000 and Brandt called.

The {8-Diamonds} was the turn and Crane moved all in for 16,000 effective. Brandt called for his tournament life.

Lawrence Brandt: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Daniel Crane: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Brandt had top pair top kicker but Crane had the pocket rockets. However Brandt did have diamonds to potentially bail himself out. The river was the {3-Spades} which eliminated Brandt from the tournament.

Weiran Pu: {3-}{3-}
Matt Berkey: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Berkey was ahead with two pair and the {q-Clubs} river confirmed his hand as the best, which resulted in Pu being sent to the rail.

The Toilet Does Not Flush as Brito Silva Prevails

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action started with a raise to 1,000 by Christopher Puetz and he folded when Faraz Jaka three-bet to 2,500 from one seat over.

In the very next hand, Jaka opened to 1,200 and Kully Sidhu called on the button. Pablo Brito Silva three-bet to 6,500 in the big blind and Jaka made it 11,000 to go, which then became a forced min-raise to 11,800. Sidhu folded and Brito Silva flat-called.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for Brito Silva to check, who then jammed into a bet of 3,000 by Jaka. With near identical stack sizes, Jaka called and the cards were revealed.

Faraz Jaka: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Pablo Brito Silva: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The nut flush draw of Jaka bricked on the {7-Spades} turn and {j-Hearts} river as both stacks were counted. Brito Silva had 21,000 at his disposal, which covered Jaka by two big blinds.

Jaka, who is known under the online moniker of "The Toilet", missed his flush draw and will very likely reenter soon.

Action checked through on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

The {2-Spades} was the river and Alt fired 7,500 which caused Montgomery to fold.

The next hand action folded around to Alt on the button who raised to 1,100 before Justin Saliba three-bet to 4,000 in the small blind. Martin Jacobson was in the big blind and four-bet all in for 33,000 effective. Alt and Saliba didn't want to play for it all as they both folded.

Kennedy and Alonso Check Back Sets

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Javier Alonso
Javier Alonso

Patrick Kennedy opened to 1,100 from under the gun and was called by Steven "Cuz" Buckner and Javier Alonso from the button and the small blind.

Action checked to Buckner on the {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and he bet 2,200. Both players called.

The {9-Clubs} turn and {6-Clubs} river checked through to showdown. Buckner tabled his {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours. Kennedy exposed his {6-}{6-} for a rivered set of sixes however the pot went to Alonso as he flopped a set of sevens with his {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

"Wow! So sneaky," chimed Buckner and the table shared their amazement at how the pot remained small in size.

Eduardo Lopes Pereira: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Gergely Bartos: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The classic flip went in favour of Lopes Pereira thanks to a {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} runout as Bartos was left with one third of the starting stack.

Berkey's Overbet Gets Paid

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was around 15,000 in the pot. Christopher Putz was in the hijack against Matt Berkey in the small blind.

The board read {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Berkey bet 20,000. Putz went into the tank before making the call for almost all of his tournament chips. Berkey turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for the ace high flush as Putz mucked. Putz was left with just two big blinds as Berkey collected his chips.

Miegel Improves On the River to Beat Steinbrenner

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Heads-up to the {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} turn, Justin Steinbrenner made it 1,800 to go and was called by Jakob Miegel from one seat over. The {k-Spades} fell on the river and Steinbrenner bet another 4,000. Miegel mulled it over for a short while and called to get shown the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} by Steinbrenner, which Miegel had beat with the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

Small Pot for Cimbolas

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Several other notables can be found on nearby tables as the Day 1b field is starting to gain more momentum in the second half.
