    16th place: Tedde Ballanger

    Tedde Ballanger

    Bob T was faced with an all-in raise from Tedde Ballanger, who pushed from late position for just under 350,000. He looked down at two paint-cards, and decided to make the call for a few blinds more.

    Bob: King of Spades Jack of Clubs

    Tedde: Ace of Hearts 8 of Clubs

    The river was kind to Bob, as he paired just enough on the 3 of Spades 7 of Clubs 8 of Spades 5 of Spades Jack of Diamonds board to send Tedde home in 16th place.

    16th place: Tedde Ballanger – $1,900.00

    17th place: Rene Berube

    Rene Berube

    With under 700,000 to his name, Rene Berube was taking advantage of an unopened-pot in late by moving all-in from the cutoff. Action folded to Azim Lavji in the big blind, who made the call.

    Rene: King of Hearts Jack of Spades

    Azim: Jack of Clubs Jack of Diamonds

    Board: 3 of Diamonds 10 of Hearts 2 of Hearts 3 of Clubs 8 of Diamonds

    The dealer did a quick count of both stacks, and Azim had Rene covered by a hair.

    17th place: Rene Berube – $1,900.00

    18th place: Jean-Manuel Estrala

    Jean-Manuel Estrala

    Action went 3-way to the flop between Glen Hammers (big blind), Jean-Manuel Estrala (early-position) and Duy Toan Pham (middle-position). On a 2 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs 5 of Clubs flop, Jean-Manuel and Duy went into a raising war which resulted in two black “all-in” cards being thrown on the table, while Glen quietly got out of the way.

    Jean-Manuel: 3 of Hearts 3 of Spades

    Duy: Jack of Spades Jack of Diamonds

    The turn 8 of Diamonds and river 9 of Spades brought no change to the hand, and Duy added over a million to his already impressive stack.

    18th place: Jean-Manuel Estrala – $1,900.00

    Two more eliminations bring us down to 2 tables

    Arnold Yaxley

    E3D2-7399Arnold Yaxley was trying to stage a monster comeback after being crippled by Bob a few orbits ago. He was left with just over 1bb when he went on a winning-spree, growing his stack from 40K to over 500K – until he eventually found himself all-in and flipping for over 1 million.

    Arnold: King of Diamonds Queen of Hearts
    Duy: 6 of Spades 6 of Clubs

    Duy went on to win the pot on the 4 of Hearts 5 of Clubs 9 of Clubs 8 of Spades 8 of Hearts board to bring this field to one short of the final 2 tables.

    20th place: Arnold Yaxley – $1,675.00

    E3D2-7358

     

    George Kazarian just lost back-to-back hands to send him out deep in The $250 Frenzy. On the first hand, he shipped over nearly 600,000 to Tony Farcy after calling off his all-in. George’s Ace of Diamonds King of Hearts were drawing dead to Tony’s Queen of Spades Jack of Spades once the flop brought the 6 of Spades 10 of Spades 3 of Spades (the turn 3 of Hearts and river 9 of Diamonds were just a formality at this point). On the next hand he pushed for just under 400,000 holding Ace of Clubs Queen of Hearts, and lost to the 7 of Spades 8 of Diamonds of Maxime Theroux, who called from the big blind.

    19th place: George Kazarian – $1,675.00

     

    With these two eliminations, the field is now down to just 18 players on 2 final tables. There will be a break in 25 minutes, during which we will bring a complete update on the player stacks.

    Here is the current player layout now that the event is down to 2 tables.

    Play in today’s $550 Freeze is just on the verge of moving to 2 tables as play continues in level 17. As a one-day event, there will only be a full redraw for the 10-handed final table, but tournament staff is diligently ensuring that players are moved to keep the tables balanced as quickly as possible.

    As soon as the tournament becomes a 2-table affair, the money bubble will be officially upon field – at that point there will be 18 players left and only the top 14 will get paid.

    The next break for the players will be after the next level – level 17 is not quite half-way finished – and we’ll get a full update of the leaders at that time.

    Blanc and Cantin eliminated; Jaskiewicz the new chip leader

    Thierry Blanc

    E3D2-7346Thierry Blanc was gunning for his second final table of this Playground Poker Spring Classic, as he placed 9th in The Wild $150 only a few days ago. He came in today as a short stack, and patiently waited for a spot to get his chips in. He finally picked up a great shoving hand, however found himself in a dominated spot. He pushed for 3bb after Arnold Yxley moved in for 4bb from early position, and big stack Tomas Larivee Magni came along for the ride for a very fair price.

    Thierry: Ace of Spades Queen of Hearts

    Arnold: Queen of Diamonds Queen of Clubs

    Tomas: Ace of Clubs 8 of Clubs

    Board: 5 of Spades 3 of Hearts 7 of Diamonds 7 of Hearts 3 of Diamonds

    Arnold scooped the pot worth roughly 500,000, bringing him back into the tournament after Bob T took the majority of his chips a few hands earlier.

    22rd place: Thierry Blanc – $1,525.00

     

    Real Cantin

    Real Cantin

    Real Cantin had a lot of work to do tonight if he wanted a shot at the champion’s trophy, as he came in to the day as the shortest stack. He managed to double up fairly early in the night, and then recently pulled the trigger for 400,000 from middle position. He was looked up only by Marco Lang in the big blind.

    Real: 6 of Spades 6 of Hearts

    Marco: Jack of Spades Jack of Clubs

    There was a sweat to the river, however Real finished second-best on the 4 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs 3 of Spades Queen of Spades 2 of Diamonds board to place 22nd in The $250 Frenzy.

    21st place: Real Cantin – $1,675.00

    A huge hand just occurred between Tomas Larivee Magni and Jaroslaw Zbigniew Jaskiewicz, as an over 2.7 million chip pot was created in a raising war preflop. Jaroslaw and his King of Hearts King of Clubs finished ahead of the Ace of Spades Queen of Clubs of Tomas, making him our new chip leader.

    3 more players down

    Joey Boczek

    E3D2-7396Simon Pin-Disle (small blind) and Justin Kuzmicki (big blind) found themselves heads-up on a 5 of Spades 6 of Diamonds 7 of Hearts board when the fireworks began. Before long, the two had wagered all the chips they had left and hands were tabled.

    Simon: Queen of Hearts Queen of Clubs

    Justin: King of Clubs 7 of Diamonds

    The board ran an 8 of Diamonds and a 3 of Hearts, giving the win to Simon, who barely covered his opponent.

    25th place: Justin Kuzmicki – $1,425.00

     

    Alexander Matveev

    Alexander Matveev

    Alexander Matveev called the late-position all-in of Ryan Hodge from the blinds, and found himself in a great spot to stack a player. He tabled Ace of Spades Queen of Diamonds and was a big favourite against the Ace of Diamonds 3 of Spades of his opponent, however the 3 of Hearts 5 of Diamonds 10 of Diamonds 8 of Hearts 4 of Clubs board changed all that, and he was left with less than 1 big blind after the hand. He was eliminated on the following hand.

    24th place: Alexander Matveev – $1,525.00

     

     

     

    Joey Boczek

    Joey Boczek

    Joey Boczek button-raised to 125,000, and was 3bet to 350,000 by Maxime Theroux in the big blind. He replied with a 4bet shove for roughly double the 3bet, but found out very quickly Maxime was not 3betting light.

    Joey: Ace of Diamonds 8 of Clubs

    Maxime: King of Hearts King of Clubs

    Board: Queen of Hearts 6 of Spades Jack of Spades 9 of Spades 2 of Clubs

    Maxime basically doubled up on the hand, as he covered Joey by only a few chips.

    23rd place: Joey Boczek – $1,525
