Robson Barbosa Eliminated Alan Wentz Then Gives Some Back to Jewook Oh

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alan Wentz
Alan Wentz

Alan Wentz raised in early position and Robson Barbosa made it 61,000 to go. It was folded back to Wentz who moved all in.

"I can't fold this," said Barbosa as he announced a call with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}.

Wentz turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and would quickly fall behind when the flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. He pleaded for a five but the turn was the {2-Hearts} and the river was the {4-Clubs} and our Day 1 chip leader was eliminated in 18th place.

The very next hand Barbosa would send some of those chips over to Jewook Oh when he folded {Q-}{Q-} face up on a {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} board while saying "biggest laydown I've ever made." Oh continues to sit near the top of the leader board.

Wolf and Oh Butt Heads Again

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Laurence Wolf was second to act, and raised to 27,000. Jewook Oh three-bet to 76,000 two spots to his left, and the action folded back to Wolf, who called.

The dealer fanned {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, Wolf led out for 145,000 and Oh made the call.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds}, Wolf fired out another 215,000, and Oh tanked for around two minutes before folding.

Wolf showed {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top two pair and a queen-high flush draw.

David Tuthill Eliminated in 16th Place ($7,931)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
David Tuthill - 16th Place
David Tuthill - 16th Place

David Tuthill opened for a raise in early position, Abraham Korotki three-bet to 75,000 near the button, and Tuthill moved all in for around 400,000. Korotki called.

Korotki: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Tuthill: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The dealer fanned {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, pushing Korotki into the lead, and leaving Tuthill drawing to a runner-runner straight or a two-outer. The {9-Hearts} on the turn eliminated all straight possibilities, and the {6-Hearts} on the river ended the hand entirely.

Tuthill exited in 16th place, while Korotki is back up to a million chips.

Spears Takes From His Neighbor

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mauricio Dasilva raised to 27,000 from under the gun, Abe Korotki called in the small blind, and Andy Spears three-bet to 67,000 from the big blind. Both Dasilva and Korotki called.

The dealer fanned {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, more than one of the players checked back to see if they had clubs, and Korotki checked. Spears lobbed 83,000 forward, only Korotki called, and the turn was a fourth club - the {9-Clubs}.

Korotki led out, firing 125,000, and Spears called.

The river was the {6-Hearts}, Korotki checked, and Spears went into the tank. With two hands, he double-fisted 260,000 into the middle, and Korotki folded.

Mauricio Dasilva was all in and at risk with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} preflop against Abraham Korotki's {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and the wired sixes held up on a board of {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Korotki recouped some of his recent losses, chipping up to around 1.3 million chips, while Dasilva exited in 15th place.

Spitzberg Doubles Through Korotki

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Abraham Korotki has been incredibly active today and throughout the entire tournament, and he just played another all-in pot. This one was against Paul Spitzberg, and Spitzberg doubled through.

The money went in the middle on a board of {4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}, and Spitzberg was in the lead with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Korotki was drawing with {9-Spades}{6-Spades}, and even though the {3-Hearts} on the river, he yelled out in a celebratory manor.

This confused the table, including Spitzberg, who had to reexamine the board. The pot was eventually pushed his way, and he cracked a smile.

"I thought I won," Spitzberg said.
