Adams Down to 4,000 - Makes Comeback

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

After a big hand with Sorel Mizzi (where Mizzi had pocket fours if we're correct) Timothy Adams was down to 5,000. After having to pay the ante he had just 4,000 left. We stuck around to see what would happen, and got treated to a good ol' comeback story.

1) Action folded to Adams on the button who pushed for 4,000. Jacobson completed the small blind, Leonid Markin checked his big blind. Jacobson and Markin checked the entire board of {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Markin won the side pot with {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for nine-high. Jacobson had {6-Spades}{3-Hearts} and mucked. The main pot went to Adams with his unimproved {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

2) Thorel opened to 16,000 under the gun and Martin Kabrhel made the call in the hijack. Adams shoved for 18,000 from the cutoff and Markin in the small blind made the call. Fedor Holz in the big blind pushed for 196,000 and Thorel, Kabrhel and Markin all folded. Adams was holding {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was up against Holz' {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Adams just about quintupled his stack.

3) Adams open shoved and next door neighbor Martin Jacobson made the call for 91,000. All other players folded and Adams showed his {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Jacobson showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and they were off to the races again. The {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board improved no one and Adams was back at it.

4) Adams opened under the gun to 18,000 and Leonid Markin made the call in the hijack. On {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} it was Adams who c-betted 25,000 and Markin folded.

Watson Busts in Three-Way All In

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Watson
Mike Watson

The action started with a raise to 18,000 by Vladimir Troyanovskiy in the cutoff seat and Mike Watson moved all in for 162,000 from the button. Connor Drinan checked his cards and then threw in one green T-100,000 and two red T-25,000 chips for the call. Bryn Kenney folded his big blind and Troyanovskiy gave it some thought before moving all in himself for 370,000. Drinan called off and the three players turned over their cards:

Watson: {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Drinan: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Troyanovskiy: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Watson was all in and at risk with the worst hand and already stood up after the {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {9-Spades} turn, the Canadian was drawing dead. The {7-Hearts} on the river was a brick and Troyanovskiy won the massive pot to take almost two third off the stack of Drinan and is now among the chip leaders.

Chen Doubles Through Soshnikov

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded round to Andrew Chen on the button who opened for 16,000. Ivan Soshnikov was in the small blind and had been bullying the table, picking up a succession of small pots, and he three-bet. The big blind got out of the way and Chen quickly moved all in. Just as quickly Soshnikov called and the cards were on their backs.

Soshnikov: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Chen: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Chen was looking good for a double up and then the flop came out {3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Soshnikov had hit his set to propel him into the lead. Running clubs or a king was needed for Chen to survive.

The turn card was the {j-Hearts} and then on the river the {k-Spades} arrived to rescue Chen and take a chunk out of Soshnikov’s stack as the Russian ran in to kings yet again.

Raskin Gets Paid

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Micah Raskin raised to 20,000 from under the gun plus one and was called by Ivan Soshnikov in the cut off.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Raskin quickly bet out 25,000. Soshnikov reached for his chips and made the call as the {5-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Raskin instantly threw out another bet of 75,000 which had Soshnikov thinking. He made the call moments later and the two watched the {8-Hearts} complete the board.

Like he had down on all previous streets, Raskin quickly threw out another bet totaling 100,000 in chips. This time Soshnikov went into the tank for several minutes, deliberating over his decision.

“Queens?” Soshnikov asked, as he threw in the call.

Raskin then tabled his {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} which was enough to take down the pot as Soshnikov’s cards flew into the muck.

David Peters Eliminated By Stephen Chidwick

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

David Peters moved all in for his remaining 57,000 and watched as the action folded around to Stephen Chidwick in the small blind. He looked down at his cards before picking up his larger denomination chips and put in a raise that had Paul Newey covered in the big blind. He thought for a second before letting his hand go as the other two players tabled their cards.

Peters: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Chidwick: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Peters was unable to improve as the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to see him eliminated from the tournament.

Pahuja Scores a Lucky Chop

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Bryn Kenney opened the action with a raise to 14,000 and Olivier Busquet made it 42,000 to go from one seat over in the button. Out of the small blind, Mukul Pahuja moved all in for 181,000 and Kenney folded. Busquet snap-called with {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} and Pahuja was in desperate shape with his {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

Fortunately for Pahuja, the board ran out {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} and both players chopped the pot with an ace-high straight.

Newey Backs Down

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Paul Newey is one of the shorter stacks in the tournament at the moment. He had been all in a few hands ago but got no caller.

Action folded to Newey on the button and he opened for 15,000. Micah Raskin was in the small blind and he raised to 38,000 and pulled down his dark sunglasses. David Peters folded the big blind and it was back on Newey. Not this time, he mucked his hand.
