Nível: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante:
We have just confirmed with the floor, that we will be playing a total of ten levels today no matter what happens. So even if we reach the official final table, the players won't bag up until the end of level 20.
It all escalated on the flop when things went horribly wrong for Greg Merson in a battle of the blinds. Loren Klein had limped and Merson spiked middle set when the chips went in. Klein turned over for top set and the turn as well as river both bricked. Merson took a huge hit to his stack and Klein should be the new chip leader now.

Loren Klein raised the button, Greg Merson potted and before we knew what happened, both had their chips in. Merson sighed when he got shown the by his opponent and turned over . He did however improve as the board ran out to give him two pair. Easy come, easy go.

John O'Shea opened for 15,000 in middle position, and Mark Johnson potted from the small blind for 51,000. O'Shea put Johnson all in for about 40,000 more, and Johnson called.

A flop was curtains for Johnson, and the turn gave O'Shea a full house to seal the deal. The finished out the board.

In the very last hand of the third table once we got down to 18 players and before the redraw was completed, the flop was already completed. Robert Paddock made it 26,000 to go and sent Steve Billirakis into the think tank. He eventually grabbed some chips for the call, pondered about his decision once again and then did call. Paddock knocked on the table and said "You got it."
The bluff attempt was caught and Billirakis turned over as winning hand.
