Souther Makes Quads to Increase His Stack Eightfold

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Arthur Morris called under the gun, and Jiyang Gan did the same on his left. William Souther moved all in for exactly 60,000, with Benjamin Skelley and Brian Kirschner calling behind. Alex Manzano checked his big blind.

The K♣K♦9♦ flop checked through, prompting Morris to bet out for 125,000 on the 7♠ turn. Only Skelley called, and they checked the J♠ river down.

"Jack-nine-seven" announced Morris, tabling Jx9x7xXx. Skelley showed Q♥Q♦7♦4♣ for the side pot. Unbelievably, right when he needed it most, Souther tabled K♠K♥8♥3♣ for flopped quads, as he lived to fight another day.

Action was picked up after the preflop betting, where Idan Raviv was all in for 2,480,000 from late position, Robert Scherer was all in from the small blind for 1,325,000, and Kurtis Ruhl had called both players from the cutoff.

Robert Scherer: 7♣7♦5♣5♠ All in
Idan Raviv: A♥A♠J♣5♥ All in
Kurtis Ruhl: J♦10♠9♥8♥

The board ran out with 7♥K♦4♦8♣5♦. Scherer held the best hand, a full house, and tripled his stack.

It was heads up to the flop of 3♦2♦7♣ with 900,000 sat in the pot.

Brian Brunner checked to Paawan Bansal, who bet out for full pot, 900,000.

Brunner went deep into the tank for three to four minutes before he raised all in for about 300,000 more. Bansal snap-called.

Brian Brunner: 7♥5♥4♥4♠ All in
Paawan Bansal: A♥A♦K♠4♣

Bansal was ahead with his aces, but Brunner had plenty of outs to hit to stay alive.

The 3♠ peeled off on the turn and changed nothing, and when the river bricked out with the J♦ it was curtains for Brunner. He was sent to the rail whilst Bansal raked in the monster pot to edge up close to the ten million chips mark.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Shawn Stroke, having just knocked out two players, managed to score yet another elimination, rivering a set to best Bryan Obregon's top pair.

Sameer Batra, to his left, offered Stroke a cool $3,000 for whatever the mystery bounty prize was. "You must hate money!" commented Robert Elias upon finding out that Stroke said no to the deal.

He had his phone out, recording, only to see the bad news that a minimum bounty of $500 was his reward.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of J♠4♣8♥. Big blind Peter Walsworth announced "all in," but was stopped by the dealer given his 680,00 stack was 5,000 more than pot. Early position Tyler Brown called, then Shawn Stroke to his left repotted, covering both opponents. Brown called all in.

Peter Walsworth: A♣K♥J♥4♠ All in
Tyler Brown: K♦Q♣10♠8♦ All in
Shawn Stroke: A♠Q♠10♥9♠

Despite holding three himself, Stroke went runner-runner spade to hit the nut flush, and secure a double elimination. He was rewarded with a $1,000 bounty and a $500 bounty for his efforts.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jiyang Gan brought it in under the gun for 175,000 chips. William Souther made the call from middle position.

Brian Woodbury raised all in from the small blind, and Gan re-raised it all in for 1,575,000.

Souther hesitated for a bit, then slammed a stack down and said, "Let's go."

Brian Woodbury: K♠K♦9♦8♥All in
Jiyang Gan: A♣A♦10♥6♣All in
William Souther: A♠J♠J♦2♠

The flop hit A♥6♦3♦, with Gan flopping a set of aces. With no one holding a flush or straight draw, he was in good shape.

The turn and river 5♥Q♣ didn't change anything and he dragged the pot and a bounty, and left Souther shortstacked.

No Sweat for Hubert

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with Robert Elias and Byron Hubert all in from the big blind and early position respectively.

Byron Hubert: A♠A♣Q♥4♥ All in
Robert Elias: XxXxXxXx

As the board ran out 5♥10♥6♣2♦A♦ Elias had already turned his hand over on the turn, as he was dead to the aces of Hubert. For good measure, Hubert rivered the second nuts.

Elias was kind enough to show K♦J♥9♥4♠ to PokerNews. "I squeezed from the big blind. I didn't fly here to fold," he mentioned.
