Luciani Drills Broadway to KO Wiciak and Soares

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Simon Wiciak
Simon Wiciak

With Simon Wiciak having tripled up in the hand prior, Hugo Soares pushed his final 25,000 across the betting line from middle position. Alexander Luciani made it 60,000 from the hijack to give him some isolation, and when it got to Wiciak in the big blind, he shoved his newly acquired 355,000 into the middle.

Luciani took his time, used a time bank, and then slammed in the call to try and score the double knockout.

Hugo Soares: A6 All in
Simon Wiciak: 99 All in
Alexander Luciani: AJ

Another three-way all-in, and again Wiciak was at risk, although this time he had a stronger hand with pocket nines.

The Q103 flop gave Luciani some more outs with a straight draw.

The K on the turn cemented Wiciak's elimination from the Main Event, as Luciani had improved to a Broadway straight.

The K river didn't give Soares the chop, meaning Wiciak and Soares were gone, while Luciani's stack grew to over 1,400,000.

Just after the hand, Tiago Souza became the final elimination of this level.

Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Level 21
Blinds: 10,000/15,000 (15,000)

Kalman Dohany made it 30,000 to go in the cutoff. It folded to Romain Lewis in the big blind, who defended. Lewis checked the 898 flop over to Dohany, who continued for another 30,000. Lewis raised to 90,000, and Dohany called.

The 10 turn then checked through to the A river. Lewis checked again, prompting Dohany to bet 100,000. After spending a time bank, Lewis moved all in for 420,000.

Dohany spent a while in the tank before he called. Lewis showed J7 for a turned straight, besting the A10 of Dohany to double up.

Runout Bails Pak Out

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lei Yu raised to 40,000 on the button, and Edward Pak defended his big blind.

After Yu continued with a bet on the 8Q4 flop, Pak check-raised to 125,000. Yu responded by moving all-in for 425,000, which Pak called.

Lei Yu: Q10 All in
Edward Pak: Q2

Yu looked set for a double-up, but the 8 turn and A river came to Pak's rescue, and the two players chopped the pot.

Wiciak Triples; Soares Left With Dust

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Simon Wiciak
Simon Wiciak

Simon Wiciak jammed under the gun for 115,000 and Hugo Soares moved in over the top from the hijack for around 600,000. Mitch Garshofsky called from the big blind for his stack of 490,000, and the three players turned over their cards.

Simon Wiciak: K6 All in
Mitch Garshofsky: JJ All in
Hugo Soares: A10

The jacks of Garshofsky stayed ahead on the 332 flop, but Wiciak took the lead when the K landed on the turn.

The 3 river improved Wiciak to a full house, and he tripled up to stay alive. Garshofsky won the side pot against Soares, increasing his stack to around 700,000, while Soares was left with just over a big blind.

Jose Lopes
Jose Lopes

Level 21
Blinds: 10,000/15,000 (15,000)

On the stream, the action was picked up on a 79K flop, where Jose Lopes jammed all in for 100,000 from the small blind. Kalman Dohany called in the big blind, and Grzegorz Kozieja did so under the gun.

Dohany fired for 170,000 on the 4 turn, and Kozieja tossed in a call to create a side pot. The 3 river was then checked to showdown. Kozieja tabled K8, winning the side pot by outkicking Dohany's K6.

Lopes could not beat top pair with A2, having bricked his flush draw to be eliminated in the first level of the day.

Mitch Garshofsky: 44 All in
Simon Wiciak: AJ

Pritsak Shoves into Juanda's Cowboys

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Oleh Pritsak
Oleh Pritsak

Oleh Pritsak raised to 40,000 from middle position and John Juanda three-bet the small blind to 110,000. Pritsak looked across the table at the Poker Hall of Famer, then, without shifting his gaze, four-bet ripped it in for about 475,000. Juanda quickly called with the covering stack.

Oleh Pritsak: 55 All in
John Juanda: KK

Pritsak had run into Juanda's premium pocket pair and needed a five to survive.

The 9AQ flop was no help to Pritsak, and neither was the 8 turn.

The 9 river was safe for Juanda's cowboys, and Pritsak became the newest addition to the rail.
