Seven Figures Stacks Sparring

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Liam Gannon

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Thomas Cannuli raised to 30,000 from under the gun and called Sanat Mehrotra's three-bet from the hijack worth 100,000.

The flop rolled out A♦7♣6♦ and Cannuli check-called a bet of 55,000 from Mehrotra.

Cannuli bet 160,000 on the 8♦ turn and Mehrotra called.

Both players checked the river 8♠ and Mehrotra turned over 10♣9♣ for a ten-high straight. It was second best against Cannuli's J♦10♦ for a flush and Cannuli neared the two million mark.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Matthew Iles raised to 30,000 from early position and Scott Blumstein called in late position with Michael McNicholas calling in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 9♦6♥2♥ and McNicholas checked to Iles who bet 35,000. Blumstein flatted and McNicholas raised to 120,000, prompting Iles to raise to 225,000.

"All in," said Blumstein as he moved his last 370,000 into the middle. McNicholas moved all in for 590,000 total and Iles called with the covering stack.

Scott Blumstein: K♠K♣ All in
Michael McNicholas: 9♥7♥ All in
Matthew Iles: A♥10♥

Blumstein's kings held up for the main pot on the runout of 4♠10♠, while Iles paired up his ten to beat McNicholas' nine for the side pot. The 2017 WSOP Main Event champ took his stack above seven figures for the first time today while McNicholas exited the tournament.

Hamlet Spikes Turn to Survive

Jacob Wilson

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up with Paul Volpe all in from the small blind and covering big blind Brandon Hamlet.

Brandon Hamlet: A♠4♠ All in
Paul Volpe: A♥Q♣

The 5♣J♣8♦ flop kept Volpe in the lead, but the 4♥ turn changed that completely as he was now drawing to just three outs. Nothing changed on the J♥ river, as Hamlet doubled with jacks up.

Michael Gagliano: 10♠10♥ All in
David Kinane: A♥Q♥

The board ran out A♠7♠5♥4♦9♣ and the ace-queen paired up to give Kinane the pot while the last remaining BetMGM Ambassador took his leave from the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Thomas Cannuli opened to 30,000 from the cutoff. Anthony Piacquadio moved all in on the button for 135,000, and Cannuli called.

Anthony Piacquadio: A♦7♦ All in
Thomas Cannuli: K♣9♦

The 10♥6♦A♣ flop was a lovely one for Piacquadio to see. His opponent was dead by the time the 3♠ turn hit the felt, making the K♦ river nothing more than a needle.

Wilson Puts Williams to the Test

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brock Wilson opened to 25,000 from middle position. Aubrey Williams made it 78,000 to go on the button. Wilson thought for a moment before calling.

He then checked over the 3♠Q♦5♥ flop, and Williams checked back, bringing in the 10♥ on the turn. Here, Wilson opted to lead out, choosing 115,000 as his sizing. Williams pondered, then called.

The 9♠ rolled off on the river, and before acting Wilson went deep into the tank. After around two minutes, he slid forward 214,000, leaving just a single T-1,000 chip behind.

Williams gave Wilson quite the speech, explaining her thoughts out loud, before eventually saying "you deserve it, Brock," and folding. The players then went to break.

Brock Wilson: Q♠Q♦

The board ran out J♥6♠2♥J♦6♥ and the queens held up for Wilson to take down the pot.
