, Pham bets 150,000, Vedes calls, and Cunix folds.
The river card is the 7, Pham checks, Vedes bets 164,000, and Pham calls. Tommy Vedes shows 66 to win the pot with a full house, sixes full of fives, and Kido Pham mucks. Cunix breathes a sigh of relief, as he tells Vedes "I'd have hit the straight on the river. I had a four."
Tommy Vedes - 1,600,000
Shawn Cunix - 2,115,000
Kido Pham - 1,540,000
Level 19: 10,000-20,000, 2,000 ante
With the board showing J834 on the turn, Craig Crivello checks the big blind, Matt Stout moves all in from under the gun, and Shawn Cunix folds from early position.
Crivello calls with 33 for a set of threes, and Stout is drawing thin with 1010. He needs a ten on the river to stay alive, but the last card is the K. Craig Crivello wins the pot to take him to about 1,000,000 in chips, and Matt Stout is eliminated in 13th place.
Craig Crivello - 1,000,000
Shawn Cunix - 1,900,000
Matt Stout - Out in 13th Place ($39,760)
Level 19: 10,000-20,000, 2,000 ante
Both Tommy Vedes and Shawn Cunix are towards the top of the leaderboard, but neither player is afraid to tangle in a pot with the other.
First, Cunix raises to 60,000 from the button, Vedes reraises from the small blind and Cunix moves all-in. Vedes thinks a while before folding and Cunix assures him even if he had A-K he was crushed.
Moments later, a very similar scenario develops. Cunix raises to 60,000 from the cutoff, Kido Pham calls on the button and Vedes reraises an additional 185,000. Cunix doesn't think for long before moving all-in for over a million chips. Pham folds and Vedes goes in the tank. He thinks for a couple of minutes before folding A-K face up. Cunix then shows him his JJ.
As the dealer is pushing the pot towards Cunix, Pham lets curiousity get the best of him. He reaches over and grabs the first couple of cards off the top of the deck to see if the ace flops. The tournament director warned Pham not to repeat his actions and play resumed.
Shawn Cunix - 1,900,000
Tommy Vedes - 1,050,000
Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Shawn Cunix raises to 40,000 from early position, Dutch Boyd calls from the cutoff and Mark Seif calls out of the small blind. The trio sees a flop of QT9 and action checks around. The turn is the 5 and Mark Seif bets out 70,000. Cunix calls and Boyd folds. The river comes 4, putting a fourth spade on board, and Seif bets out 135,000. Cunix announces "call" and turns up AJ for the jack high flush. Seif immediately mucks his hand and Cunix takes the pot.
Shawn Cunix - 910,000
Mark Seif - 430,000
Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Dutch Boyd raises from early position to 40,000, Larry Berg calls from the button, Shawn Cunix calls from the small blind, and Aaron Jones reraises from the big blind to 186,000.
Boyd, Berg, and Cunix all fold, and Jones takes the pot worth 178,000 without even seeing the flop.
Aaron Jones - 555,000
Larry Berg - 796,000
Shawn Cunix - 560,000
Dutch Boyd - 490,000
Level 17: 6,000-12,000, 1,000 ante
Shawn Cunix raises to 33,000 from late position and Aaron Jones calls on the button. The flop falls JJ2 and Cunix checks. Jones bets 26,000 and Cunix calls. The turn is the 6 and Cunix check-calls a bet of 45,000 from Jones. The river 3 puts a possible flush on board and both players check. Cunix shows KQ for a busted spade draw and Jones shows pocket eights, which were good enough to rake the pot.
Aaron Jones - 465,000
Shawn Cunix - 740,000
Level 16: 5,000-10,000, 1,000 ante
Correction: Shawn Cunix is still in the tournament. It was Michael Chiappetta who was eliminated in 35th place, and Shawn Cunix was moved to balance that table.
Level 16: 5,000-10,000, 1,000 ante
Action folds around to Steve Brecher on the button who raises to 30,000. Shawn Cunix makes the call from the small blind and the two players see a flop of A98. Cunix checks and Brecher continues with a 30,000 bet. Cunix calls.
The turn brings the J and both players check.
The river is the Q and Cunix leads out for 40,000. Brecher calls.
Cunix: J10
Brecher: KQ
Cunix takes down the pot with a straight and moves to 620,000. Brecher drops to 260,000.
