Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jaroslaw Lipien
Jaroslaw Lipien

Hadi Ahangar, Nicanor Sula, and Jaroslaw Lipien had all gone all in preflop. All players were short, but Lipien covered both Sula and Ahangar.

Hadi Ahangar: AQ All in
Nicanor Sula: J10 All in
Jaroslaw Lipien: 66

Lipien's sixes held against the four overcards when the 33595 runout helped neither Ahangar nor Sula. Lipien knocked out two players but still ended up with a below-average stack.

Hu Confuses Table, Busts

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hassan Dahmani limped in under the gun. Lucien Cohen raised to 3,600 in the hijack. The action folded to Ladislao Dalfo in the small blind, but big blind Zhewen Hu raised to 21,000 out of turn.

It was explained to Dalfo that Hu's raise would stand unless he changed the action. Dalfo opted to call, making Hu's raise valid. It then folded back to Dalfo, who jammed all in, after which Hu made a quick call for 25,000 total.

Zhewen Hu: JJ All in
Ladislao Dalfo: AA

The 210723 board helped neither player. Dalfo's aces held as Hu quickly headed to the exit.
