Punjarojanakul Picks Off Liu; Porter Shoves on Chadha

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

Xiaoqiong Liu bet 80,000 from the small blind on a flop of 956 and Tanupat Punjarojanakul called in middle position.

The turn was the 4 and Liu bet another 100,000. Punjarojanakul again called, and they both checked down the 2 river. Liu instantly mucked her cards, and Punjarojanakul took the pot without a showdown.

At another table, Carlos Chadha had opened to 24,000 under the gun before Andrew Porter three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind. Chadha called, and they went heads-up to the 522 flop.

Porter then bet 45,000, and Chadha called. Porter bet another 85,000 on the J turn, and Chadha again called.

The river was the Q and Porter moved all in. Chadha, with around 240,000 remaining, snap-folded, and Porter took the pot.

Agaev Jams Into Bennani

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

In a single-raised flop to the J53 flop, Adam Agaev in the big blind checked.

Najib Bennani bet 14,000 and Agaev then check-jammed after which Bennani instantly sighed before asking for a count.

"Why can't I check the flop?" he asked more to himself and then folded before the dealer could tell him the shove was for 99,000.

"I had a pair in between these," Bennani said and then started some table chat with Agaev in which he switched to a heavy Russian accent.

"Do you have a Russian girlfriend?" Agaev asked and Bennani nodded.

Kilcoyne Counterfeits Bernui

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

Luis Nargentino raised to 25,000 in early position before David Kilcoyne three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. Lucas Bernui called for his last 50,000, while Nargentino got out of the way.

Lucas Bernui: K7 All in
David Kilcoyne: AK

Bernui was dominated but took the lead on the 7109 flop. The turn was the 10, and the 9 river counterfeited Bernui's pair and gave the pot to Kilcoyne with his ace-kicker to send Bernui to the rail.

Workman Eliminated by Landais

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

With some 115,000 in the middle to the AK2J turn, Ricky Landais checked and Thomas Workman bet 30,000.

Landais glanced at the stack of his neighbour and used one time bank before he check-raised to 80,000.

Thomas' time to act expired and he was due one time bank, which he didn't give to the dealer yet. A few seconds later, Workman jammed and Landais snap-called.

Thomas Workman: A7 All in
Ricky Landais: AK

The river was the meaningless 5 and Workman bowed out in 50th place.

"I didn't think you had an ace," he said before heading to the payout desk.

Landais joined the seven figure stacks at the table, only trailing the relentless Bin Weng.

Guan Finds Miracle River to Crack Shi's Aces

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Wesley Shi
Wesley Shi

Wesley Shi from early position and Ricky Guan from middle position were heads-up in a single-raised pot with the board reading 1092. Shi led for 40,000 and Guan called.

On the 4 turn, Shi slowed down with a check before Guan bet 75,000. Shi inquired about the size of Guan's remaining stack before check-raising to 250,000, nearly all of Guan's chips.

Guan would use no less than four time banks, talking through the hand, before he shrugged and announced all in for 296,000, and Shi tossed in a chip to call the rest immediately.

Ricky Guan: A10 All in
Wesley Shi: AA

Guan had top pair, top kicker but was in terrible shape against the aces of Shi. Guan got out of his chair with just two outs, but the 10 landed on the river, much to the dismay of Shi. Guan retook his seat and collected the double after finding a miracle to survive.

Volpe Finds Another Double

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Volpe opened to 20,000 on the button before Maxwell Young jammed from the big blind as the covering stack, and Volpe snap-called off his 172,000 stack.

Paul Volpe: AQ All in
Maxwell Young: A10

Volpe held the dominating ace the AK2 flop brought some chop opportunities. However, the board would run out 76, leaving Volpe's hand best to secure the double.

Mermelstein Loses Two Straight All-ins to Bust

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Volpe jammed for 86,000 under the gun before Aaron Mermelstein rejammed from middle position with the covering stack.

Paul Volpe: AQ
Aaron Mermelstein: JJ

It was a coinflip scenario as the K97 flop kept Mermelstein in front. The 9 turn offered no additional outs for Volpe, but the Q landed on the river, giving him the best hand to double through Mermelstein.

The next hand, Mermelstein jammed his final 97,000 second-to-act and Changfeng Fan called on his direct left.

Aaron Mermelstein: KQ All in
Changfeng Fan: AJ

The KQ2 flop was a welcome sight for Mermelstein who flopped two pair. However, the 10 turn gave Fan a broadway straight.

Mermelstein needed to fill up on the river, but the 10 was the wrong board pair, and he was eliminated.

Yanovsky Eliminated by Fishberg

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eric Yanovsky
Eric Yanovsky

After losing most of his chips just prior, Eric Yanovsky three-bet jammed and was called by Gregory Fishberg.

Eric Yanovsky: AJ All in
Gregory Fishberg: J10

The 986 flop gave Fishberg the open-ender but he instead spiked the 10 on the turn to take the lead. No more help came for Yanovsky on the 3 river and he bowed out in 52nd place.
