Meng Knocks Out Willard

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jeffrey Willard had lost most of his stack in a recent hand and was down to just 12,000 in the big blind. Qingwei Meng open-shoved to 200,000 from under the gun, forcing out all other players except Willard who made the call and was at risk.

Jeffrey Willard: 9♣4♣ All in
Qingwei Meng: K♥K♦

Meng was way ahead with the pocket kings and remained so on the 8♦7♦8♣ flop. The 2♣ turn gave Willard a flush draw but the K♠ river improved Meng to a full house to score the knockout.

Willard Claims a Bounty

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of 3♥9♥Q♣6♥. Ryan Olaivar was already all in from the small blind creating a main pot of roughly 75,000 and a side pot of approximately 60,000. Jeffrey Willard checked from early position, Austin Saunders bet 30,000 from the cutoff, Chun Kit Kwan folded from the button and Willard made the call.

On the J♠ river Willard moved all in sending Saunders into the tank. After a couple minutes Kwan called the clock and shortly after Saunders made the call.

Olaivar had completely missed with 10♦8♦. Saunders tabled 10♠6♠ for a pair of sixes but Willard showed down 8♠8♥ for a pair of eights to take the pot. Willard would pull a $1,000 bounty for the elimination of Olaiver.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chun Kit Kwan	605,000

Jeffrey Willard	265,000
Austin Saunders	210,000
Ryan Olaivar	Busted
