Event 13: Andros Ioakimides Leading The Way

$570 No-Limit Hold’em
Level 11: 500/1,000 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 45 of 162

Andros Ioakimides raises from the hijack and the player on the button three-bets to 5,700. Action folds back to Ioakimides, who four-bets to 17,200.

The button thinks for a couple minutes and then calls. They are heads-up to a flop of Qs5d2s and Ioakimides bets 22,000. The button doesn’t take much time before tossing his hand into the muck.

Ioakimides flashes the As as he takes the pot and chips up as the level nears an end.

With one more level before dinner break, Ioakimides is the chip leader and the only player with a six-figure chip count. Like Robert Kuhn, he also is looking for his second final table in as many days. He finished sixth in yesterday’s $2,500 no-limit hold’em for $17,063.

Andros Ioakimides – 126,000

Event 13: Robert Kuhn Takes a Small Hit

$570 No-Limit Hold’em
Level 10: 400/800 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 54 of 162

Robert Kuhn raises to 2,000 from middle position and the player in the hijack moves all in for 5,100. Action folds back around to Kuhn, who calls the additional 3,100.

Kuhn shows Ac5h and is dominated by his opponent’s AdQh.

“Sorry about the five that’s coming,” joked Kuhn. “I don’t want to do it to you.”

The board runs out Ah8d2sTsKd and Kuhn doesn’t hit the five that he predicted. He takes a small hit to his stack, but is still above an average stack.

Kuhn is looking to make his second final table in as many days. He finished eighth in yesterday’s $2,500 no-limit hold’em for $10,238.

Robert Kuhn – 48,000

Event 13: Marcus Stein Sends One Home

$570 No-Limit Hold’em
Level 9: 300/600 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 80 of 162

A player in middle position moves all in for about 10,000 and action folds to Marcus Stein on the button, who calls. The blinds both fold and the cards are tabled.

Stein shows AdKh and has his opponent’s AcTh dominated.

The board runs out 9d8h3cAh5d and Stein’s big slick holds up to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Marcus Stein – 48,000

Event 13: Frankie Flowers Chipping Up

$570 No-Limit Hold’em
Level 8: 250/500 with a 75 ante
Total Entries: 155

Frankie Flowers

On a flop of Kc8d2c, Mark Dube checks from the small blind, the big blind checks, and the player under the gun bets 2,675. Frankie Flowers is on the button and raises to 8,200.

Both Dube and the big blind fold. The under the gun player calls and the turn is the 5h. The big blind checks and Flowers moves all in for effectively the big blind’s remaining 37,000. The big blind takes a couple minutes in the tank before sending his cards into the muck.

Flowers mucks his hand and drags the pot.

Frankie Flowers – 64,000
