Quicker than a machine gun, Adam Croffut moved all in from the button, Thomas Bichon called in the small blind and we had a showdown: Bichon requiring assistance with versus
The flop made little difference, but the turn did, and by the river it was all over.
"Yes!" exclaimed Croffut as he leapt into the air.
"He's got a spade," informed the players at the table in unison.
Croffut went to fist-pound Jimmy Fricke on the rail who, although obliged, tried to inform him that the other guy had a spade, but the information didn't seem to register.
Finally, and after being told one more time, Croffut realized and his face went sour. From thinking he'd doubled through and was still in with a shot at a bracelet, he was now heading to the rail in 16th place.
Thomas Bichon raised to 60,000 from the button, only for Kevin Odell to make it 162,000 from the small blind. After a long dwell, Johan Jakobsson called in the big blind. Bichon folded.
On the flop, Odell made a small bet of 100,000. Jakobsson raised to 315,000, but quickly folded as Odell slid in a stack of green 25,000 chips for a total raise to 815,000.
Odell has extended his lead to 2,625,000 whilst Jakobsson has dropped to 1,045,000.
Action folded to Andrew Ferguson who raised to 70,000 in the small blind. Brazilian Thiago Nishijima went deep into the tank in the big blind before raising all in for effectively 520,000. Ferguson snapped it off and the hands were tabled.
Showdown
Ferguson:
Nishijima:
Ferguson did not improve with the board and reported to the rail. Meanwhile, Nishijima is among our chip leaders with 2,385,000 in front of him.
At the start of the level, Thiago Nishijima was second only to Kevin Odell in chips, but now, and despite heavy support from the Brazilian fan base on the rail, he's slipped down the charts after losing two coin flips.
The first came courtesy of short stack Douglas Gord, who open-shoved all in for 303,000. Nishijima came over the top with and everyone folded. Gord tabled , and following a board, doubled through to around the 650,000 mark.
Moments later, Nishijima was subjected to a second right hook as he doubled Justin Conley up to a million in chips. Nishijima opened the action with a raise to 57,000 from early position, Shaun Malough made the call on the button, and Conley announced all-in from the blind.
After requesting a count - "489,000," came the precise reply - Nishijima once again moved all in. With Malough side-stepping out of the way, we had ourselves another showdown, Nishijimi with the pair this time: versus .
The window card was the , and the other community cards were of no help either as the dealer dropped an ensuing onto the felt.
As a result of this double whammy, Nishijima is down, but still in decent shape with circa 1,500,000 in chips. His confidence, however, will be black and blue.
Johan Jakobsson opened to 58,000 in the hijack seat and Edward Yoo moved all in for 194,000 on the button. The blinds released and Jakobsson made the quick call.
