Bohn Shoves Harris Out Back Door

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Blake Bohn found a backdoor flush.
Blake Bohn found a backdoor flush.

John Xiong shoved all in for 11,600 from a middle position, and Blake Bohn three-bet to 20,000 from his immediate left. Lance Harris, the next player to act, tossed 34,000 into the middle, and action folded back to Bohn, who made the call. After the {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, Bohn put Harris all in, and Harris called.

Harris: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Bohn: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Xiong: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Harris was in good shape to chip up big time with his kings, but the {8-Spades} turn gave Bohn a backdoor flush draw. A {7-Spades} river completed that draw, and Harris rapped the table before exiting his seat.

Haberman Triples Up

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

We found Dave Haberman all in for his last 21,400, and he was called in two spots.

His opponents checked down the {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} community, and one player tabled {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on the end. That wasn't good enough to beat the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Haberman, and the third player mucked {7-}{7-}.

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

The pace of eliminations has picked up considerably, and more than a third of the starting field has already bowed out here in the first two levels. David Gonia was among those recently eliminated.

Wazwaz Outruns Loney

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Rob Wazwaz opened for 7,500 from middle position, and Tyler Loney shipped all in.

"Chip count, please," Wazwaz said to the dealer, eyeing Loney's single tower of chips. "If I can call you with this," he added, holding a stack of his own chips, "I'm calling."

Wazwaz wound up making the call for 30,300 total.

Wazwaz: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Loney: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The dealer slid out a flop of {7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, giving Wazwaz a commanding lead with a set. Loney could still find a double if he could catch a queen for a straight, but the {9-Clubs} and {10-Clubs} provided no such luck.

Bryant Busts Fay

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Michael Fay bet 20,000 after a {6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop when Eddie Bryant checked to him, and Bryant raised all in. Fay called off his remaining chips with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, but Bryant was well in front with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. The {q-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds} meant Fay was ousted from the tournament.

"Big Double Up for Johnny G"

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
John Hayes dodged a two-outer on the river.
John Hayes dodged a two-outer on the river.

After a flop of {6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, Rick Rothausen bet 11,000 out of the big blind. His lone opponent, John Hayes, made the call, and the two took in a {2-Hearts} turn. Rothausen fired 25,000, and Hayes thought briefly before shoving all in for 35,800 more. Rothausen made the call.

Rothausen: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Hayes: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Hayes had aces up, and Rothausen was in awful shape. He found no salvation on the {5-Spades} river.

"Big double up for Johnny G," Rob Wazwaz said of the man sometimes called "JohnnyGstaks."
