$570 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH/PLO
Level 15: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante
Players Remaining: 11 of 94

No Limit Hold’em 

On a flop of JhTh4s, Cesar Fuentes bet 6,800 from middle position and Joel Harwood moved all in on the button for about 40,000. Fuentes quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Fuentes showed KcJs and was in bad shape against Harwood’s JcTc. The turn was the Ks, however, and Fuentes took the lead to leave Harwood drawing to two outs on the river.

The river was the 7h and Harwood hits the rail just shy of the money and Fuentes earned the bounty.

There are 11 players remaining and after one more elimination, the final 10 players will re-draw for seats at the unofficial final table and will be on the money bubble.

Cesar Fuentes – 145,000
Joel Harwood – Eliminated

Cesar Fuentes opened to 4,800 in the cutoff, and Joel Harwood three-bet to 13,000 in the small blind. Fuentes called.

The flop came 9c8c2d. Harwood moved all in with the larger stack, and Fuentes instantly called all in for 29,600, putting himself at risk.

Fuentes: AdAh
Harwood: Ac5c

“Whoa,” Fuentes said, standing from his chair. “Oh no. How do you have that?” He was ahead, but he didn’t seem to like Harwood’s flush draw.

The 6d turn gave Harwood additional outs to a straight. “Whoa!” Fuentes said again, leaning over the table to examine the situation.

The river was the blank 5s, and Fuentes faded the draws, doubling up with a pair of aces.

Cesar Fuentes – 88,600 (37 bb)
Joel Harwood – 28,000 (12 bb)

The board ran out KhJs4c4s7c and Borenstein won the pot to eliminate Schiller and pick up a $200 bounty.

Jon Brody limped in from early position, and the player on the button raised to 6,000. Brody re-raised to 21,000, and the button called to see a flop.

It came AcTs9c. Brody bet the pot, and the button called all in for just over 40,000 total, putting himself at risk.

Brody: AhAsKs3s
Button: KcQc7c5s

The 7s turn and 4s river completed the board. Brody won the pot with the nut flush, reducing the field by one in the process.

Joseph Marzilli moved all in from under the gun for 16,500 and Marc Levy called from the small blind.

“You got a pair?” asked Marzilli.

Levy didn’t respond and showed AcAh. He was in the lead and in good shape against Marzilli’s 8s8h.

The board ran out 7s4s2d2hKc and Levy’s aces held up to send him the pot and eliminate Marzilli.

“I’m fighting back,” said Levy referring to the pot he lost to Mahaffey.

“Yea, there is a lot of fighting going on there,” said Jon Brody. “You got dealt aces and someone shoved on you.”

Marc Levy – 150,000
Joseph Marzilli – Eliminated

Pot Limit Omaha

There was 25,600 in the middle on the turn and a board of ThTc5h4h. Marc Levy was in the big blind and asked the dealer how much is in the pot. The dealer gave him an answer and then Levy checked.

The player in middle position bet 15,000 and Harold Mahaffey called from the hijack. Action was back on Levy and he potted it to 85,600.

Middle position moved all in for about the amount of the raise and Mahaffey moved all in for 102,100. Levy called the additional 16,500 and the cards were tabled.

Middle position showed AhJh6s6d, good for the nut flush, Levy showed 5c5s7d2h, good for fives full, but Mahaffey had everybody drawing dead with his KhQhTdTs, good for quad tens.

The river was an irrelevant 7c and Mahaffey dragged the massive pot to almost triple up and take the chip lead. The player in middle position was eliminated and Mahaffey earned an extra $200 for the knockout.

Mahaffey puts himself in a good position to make his second final table in as many days. Mahaffey finished fourth in yesterday’s $300 HORSE event for just over $2,000.

Harold Mahaffey – 305,000
Marc Levy – 106,000
