Joseph Berg
Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David Stamm raised to 40,000 from early position, and Herbert Gelman called from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a 5♦2♥J♠ flop. Gelman checked, Stamm bet 30,000, and Gelman called.

The turn brought the 4♥. Gelman checked again, and this time, Stamm bet 70,000. Gelman called.

The river revealed the 4♠. Gelman checked for a third time, and Stamm bet 300,000. Gelman took his time, carefully studying his opponent in hopes of gathering information. He ultimately made the call, only to be shown the bad news, Stamm tabled 2♣2♠.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Herbert Gelman opened the hand with a raise to 50,000 under the gun. Paul Snead raised to 160,000 from the small blind, which led to a jam for 700,000 by Gelman.

Snead thought about it for a minute before calling off for less.

Paul Snead: J♦J♣All in
Herbert Gelman: Q♦Q♥

Snead found out the bad news that he was behind, and the 9♦2♠5♣A♦4♥ brought him no solace.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hijack Ron West opened to 40,000, before Raj Vohra shoved for 205,000. Action got back round to West, who made the call.

Raj Vohra: 3♠3♥ All in
Ron West: 4♣4♥

As if the 9♥2♥4♠ didn't lock the pot up enough for West, the 9♣ turn sealed it for him. No river, not even the 2♣ could keep Vohra alive.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Arthur Fleischmann found himself on the button, and called the cutoff's raise to 40,000. Small blind Stuart Taylor then ripped in his stack of 395,000. The original raiser folded, but Fleischmann called "for the hell of it."

Stuart Taylor: A♠K♦ All in
Arthur Fleischmann: K♣8♣

The J♦9♣6♣ flop brought a sweat, the 5♠ turn brought more of a sweat, but the A♦ river confirmed Taylor's double up.

Fleischmann then shoved his remaining 70,000 from the cutoff the very next hand, and was called by the big blind.

Arthur Fleischmann: Q♥5♦ All in
Ramana Epparla: J♣8♦

The 8♠2♦A♣4♠6♠ runout sent Fleischmann home.
