Championship Event: 9th Place – David Hass ($16,000)

$2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 12K/24K/4K ante

A short-stacked David Hass moved all in for 390,000 from the button and Iraj Fariab looked at his cards in the big blind and made the call, turning over QcQd.

Hass flipped his cards over with a look of resignation on his face saying “see you guys” as he showed Td5d. The dealer put out a flop of 8d7h2s and Hass asked the dealer for a sweat. The turn was the 5h to give Hass a small sweat but the river was the 9h to knock Hass out in ninth place for $16,000.

“Good game guys,” Hass said as he stood up.

Championship Event: 10th Place – Uri Tenenboim ($12,000)

$2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 10K/20K/3K ante

Uri Tenenboim opened to 50,000 and Hans Winzelar raised to 115,000. It was folded back to Tenenboim who moved the rest of his stack all in. He was snap-called by Winzelar who had woken up with AsAh. Tenenboim turned over his hand, 6s6d, and asked the dealer for a six.

She put out an ace though on the AdQh7h flop and Tenenboim was drawing dead after the 5h turn. The meaningless river was the 8c and Tenenboim was eliminated in tenth place for $12,000.

Championship Event: Newman Keeps Surviving

$2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 10K/20K/3K ante

John Dolan opened for 40,000 and David Hass raised it up just a little more than the minimum to 70,000. It was folded to Stewart Newman who moved all in for 394,000 total. Dolan got out of the way but Hass quickly called.

Newman had AdKs and would need to improve as Hass had KcKd. The dealer wasted no time moving Newman into the lead as he put out a flop of AcQc5h. The turn was the Ts prompting Hass to ask the dealer for a jack to split the pot. The river was the 8d though and Newman, who was down to just 42,000 a couple hours ago, doubled up to approximately 850,000. Hass lost a little less than half his stack on the hand and has approximately 550,000.

Championship: Hass Takes Some From Hans

$2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 10K/20K/3K ante

Hans Winzeler opened to 40,000 and was called by David Hass. The flop came AdJd6c and Winzeler checked to Hass who bet 50,000. Winzeler made the call.

The turn was the 7s and Winzeler check-called another Hass bet, this time for 65,000. Both players checked the 6s river and Hass took down the pot with his AcQh as his queen kicker would play to best Winzeler’s As9s.

Championship Event: 13th Place – Abbey Daniels ($9,500)

2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 6K/12K/1K ante

Hans Winzeler opened for a raise to 25,000 and Abbey Daniels moved all in over the top. It was folded back to Winzeler who made the easy call with AsAc. Daniels had Ah9c and would get a small glimmer of hope on the Js9h4c flop but no nine would come on the turn or river and Daniels was eliminated in 13th place for $9,500.

Championship: 17th Place – Mike Beasley ($8,000)

2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 6K/12K/1K ante

Mike Beasley opened for 26,000 and it was folded to Cliff Gladstone in the blinds who made it 61,000 to go. Beasley made the call and the two would see a flop of Js6h3s. Gladstone led out for 35,000 and Beasley made the call.

The turn was the 5h and Gladstone moved all in for an effective 140,000. Beasley went into the tank, taking time to pay the cocktail waitress for his food, and Gladstone eventually called the clock. Once he did that, Beasley quickly grabbed a stack of chips and slapped them down in the middle to indicate a call.

Beasley turned over 7s7d and would need to hit a seven or four on the river as Gladstone had the over pair with KdKc. The river was the Qs and Gladstone pumped his fists in celebration as Beasley was eliminated in 17th place for $8,000.

Championship: Winzeler Bluffs Van Sanford

2,500 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event
Blinds: 6K/12K/1K ante

Ryan Van Sanford opened for 26,000 and found one caller in Hans Winzeler. The flop came 8c7s7d and Van Sanford led out for 38,000 and was called by the chip leader. The turn was the 5d and Van Sanford bet again, this time for 69,000. Winzeler again called.

The river was the 7h and Van Sanford sat still for about twenty seconds before tapping the table. Winzeler thought for a moment and put out a bet of just under 100,000. Van Sanford folded quickly and Winzeler turned over Td9d for a draw that didn’t get there.
