Bjorn Verbakel Eliminated in 8th Place ($43,328)

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Bjorn Verbakel - 8th Place
Bjorn Verbakel - 8th Place

Just before the level up, Bjorn Verbakel raised to 40,000 only to have Nick Binger three-bet to 150,000 on the button. Verbakel made the call and watched as the flop fell {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The man from the Netherlands surprised the call by moving all in for his last 202,000, which Binger called.

Binger: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Verbakel: {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Verbakel held a nice straight draw, but at the moment all he had was a pair of fours, which was behinds Binger's pair of jacks. The {3-Hearts} turn was discouraging to Verbakel as it gave Binger both flush and low outs. The {7-Clubs} river completed Binger's low, which complimented his pair of jacks for the high.

Binger scooped the pot to chip up to 1.45 million while Verbakel was eliminated in 8th place.

Laak and Bach

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Under the gun, Phil Laak opened to 57,000, and the table folded all the way around to the man on his right. From the big blind, David Bach potted it to 183,000, and Laak tanked and called to proceed.

The flop came {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, and Bach didn't waste much time announcing, "Pot," again. It was 378,000 now, and it was too much for Laak to call. He surrendered, sending a chunk of his chip-leading stack over to the former $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. world champ. It moves Bach across a big milestone, up now to 1.155 million.

Action Slowing

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

It seems the action has slowed to a crawl as of late. In a recent hand, action folded to Phil "Unabomber" Laak in the cutoff and he raised pot. It was enough to clear the field and allow Laak to take down the blinds. That sort of action is pretty indicative of what we've seen since Bjorn Verbakel's elimination.

Updated Chip Counts

Nick Schulman - just an average guy
Nick Schulman - just an average guy

With Laak slipping a bit, Nick Binger has worked his stack to the top of the pack. It's a case of the Haves vs. the Have-Nots, and Nick Schulman is the only player really hovering near the chip average of ~750,000.

Binger Applies the Pressure

Action folded to Peter Charalambous in the cutoff and he raised to 60,000. The button and small blind got out of the way, but Nick Binger pushed back to the tune of 192,000 from the big. Action was back on Charalambous and he tanked, no doubt well aware of the fact that a call constituted the vast majority of his chips.

After about a minute of contemplation, Charalambous tossed his hand to the muck.

Three Quarters in the Couch Cushions

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

First in from the cutoff, Bryce Yockey opened to 48,000, and Nick Schulman called in position next door. In the small blind, Trevor Reader announced, "Pot," but he was a bit short. He only had 157,000 chips left, so it was an all-in shove. Yockey called after just a few moments, and Schulman didn't consider for long before sliding the call into the pot as well.

The two live players would check it all the way down on a {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} board, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Yockey: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Schulman: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Clubs} (95% sure, but they were quickly mucked)
Pearson: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Pearson had the only low to take that half of the pot, and he and Yockeys ace-queen chopped up the high half. Pearson gets three quarters to move up to 371,000, Yockey gets one quarter, and Schulman gets zero quarters.

Laak vs. Reader

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Trevor Reader raised to 63,000 from the cutoff and Phil Laak defended from the big blind. Both players checked the {4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, leading to the {6-Diamonds} turn. Laak opted to lead out for 116,000, which inspired a quick fold from Reader.

Yockey Gets it in Good

Livello 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 60,000 under the gun, and Bryce Yockey potted it to 192,000 all the way around in the big blind. Schulman took a good long pause before reraising, and Yockey called all in for his last 244,000.

Showdown
Schulman: {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Yockey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Yockey flopped the joint as the dealer spread out {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs}, and Schulman needed some runner-runner help. The turn {2-Spades} was a good start, and the river {A-Clubs} improved both players' hands. Yockey made aces full, but Schulman ran down a low, and both will have to settle for a profit of just half the small blind, 6,000 chips apiece.
