Ivin Eliminated; Koon Up Over 1.1 Million

Jason Koon
Jason Koon

We're not sure of the action, but we do know that Mike Ivin was all in preflop for around 130,000 holding {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and behind the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} of Jason Koon. Ivin's best chance of survival was to catch a king, but he couldn't do so as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Ivin was eliminated in 52nd place for $20,000 AUD while Koon chipped up to 1.15 million.

Small Pot, Big Cooler

From the under the gun position Dominykas Karmazinas shoved all-in for his last 54,000 chips. He got called by Rob Angood who was two seats to his left.

Rob Angood{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Dominykas Karmazinas{A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} giving Karmazinas a small double up, he is still in need of a lot more chips before feeling comfortable again.

Ghezelbash Hits the Rail

Action folded around to Grant Levy in the hijack and he opened for 13,000. Ali Ghezelbash was on the button and decided to ship his remaining 52,000, which Grant called after action folded back around to him.

Showdown

Levy{A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Ghezelbash{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Levy was ahead, and pulled even further ahead on the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, though Ghezelbash did pair his ten. The {5-Diamonds} was on no consequence, and neither was the {9-Diamonds} river. Ghezelbash was eliminated in 53rd place.

Battle of the Small Suited Cards

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

From early position, Jason Koon raised to 15,000. Mike Ivin called from the big blind and the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Ivin checked and Koon bet 15,000. Ivin called.

The turn card was the {9-Hearts} and Ivin checked again. A few moments passed before Koon checked it back. The river was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked once more.

Ivin rolled over the {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but Koon's {5-Spades}{2-Spades} was better and he won the pot.

Koon KOs Kenna

Kenna James
Kenna James

Jason Koon opened the button with a raise, and Kenna James three-bet from the small blind. When it came back to Koon, he shoved in for the ~120,000 chips James had in total, and the call came instantly from the Cowboy. He was at risk, but he had the goods.

Showdown
James: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}
Koon: {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}

When the dealer burned and flipped over the three flop cards, the {2-Hearts} was laying right in the window. That was not a good sight for James to see, and he'd not be able to catch up to Koon's set. He had a flush sweat after the turn of the {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} board, but the river {Q-Diamonds} was the wrong shade of red.

That's the end of the trail for Kenna James, and he's been sent to the exit in 57th place.

Botta Finished

Daniel Botta
Daniel Botta

We caught the action on a {Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop and Kenneth Wong had a 46,000 bet in front of him. Daniel Botta shoved on him for around 150,000 chips and Wong made the call.

Kenneth Wong{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Daniel Botta{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and the river the {Q-Diamonds} ending Botta's run. Wong has had one of the biggest rushes of today coming from a really small stack all the way up to the top five.
