Matzinger Coolers Backus as the Bubble Looms

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Brad Backus
Brad Backus

Paul Matzinger limped in from early position, and Brad Backus raised to 26,000 in the big blind. Matzinger three-bet to 55,000, and Backus called.

Backus checked the {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and Matzinger instantly announced, "All in," and flicked a chip into the pot to confirm the bet. Backus tanked for a minute, at one point asking Matzinger, "Do you have the aces?" then slammed in a call for his last 140,000.

Paul Matzinger: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Brad Backus: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Backus was correct on his read, and Matzinger claimed the last of Backus's chips after the {2-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} river failed to bring in a king for Backus.

Gutz Coolers Steuer

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

Nathan Steuer raised to 12,000 from early position, and Seth Gutz three-bet to 36,000 in middle position. Steuer four-bet shoved, and Gutz quickly called off his last 153,000.

Seth Gutz: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Nathan Steuer: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Gutz added another ace to his repertoire on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} flop to leave Steuer's prospects looking dim. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {j-Hearts} river were no help, and Gutz doubled up.

Cain Wakes Up With Aces to Eliminate Watkins

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Patrick Watkins
Patrick Watkins

Patrick Watkins jammed for around 50,000 from early position, and was at risk against Daniel Cain next to act.

Patrick Watkins: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Daniel Cain: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Cain's aces would get no sweat on a {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} runout to eliminate Watkins.

Hamm Rivers a One-Outer to Double Through Dockins

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Hamm
Daniel Hamm

On the river of a {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board, Daniel Hamm committed his last 142,500 chips after an Andrew Dockins shove, and with good reason: Hamm held {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for rivered quads.

Dockins could only shake his head after he showed the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} from his hand for a turned set and rivered full house, and he parted with nearly half of his stack in the process.

Buller Can't Find the Call

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Scott Buller
Scott Buller

Scott Buller raised to 14,000 from middle position, and Michael Taylor called in the big blind.

"All in," Taylor said after the {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop hit the felt.

"How much is that?" Buller asked, and when the total was confirmed to be 75,000, Buller went into the tank for a few minutes, but elected to fold.

A hand later, Tristan Nelson was seen leaving the tournament area at the same table, and was eliminated.

They Missed the Money

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

Strohm Eliminates Foster

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Paul Strohm
Paul Strohm

Mary Foster jammed for 33,000 from under the gun, and Paul Strohm three-bet shoved for 185,000 in middle position.

"Just tryin' to help you!" Strohm said after everyone folded.

Mary Foster: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Paul Strohm: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Most of the drama was taken out of the hand after the {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop left Foster looking for running cards, and they failed to materialize on the {5-Diamonds} turn and {9-Spades} river.
