Gonzalez Doubles Through Sammartino

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Fabrizio Gonzalez opened for pot in the small blind and Dario Sammartino defended. On the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, Gonzalez shoved for 613K and received a call.

Gonzalez: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Sammartino: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

It was a dream scenario for Gonzalez as Sammartino had very little equity. The {2-Hearts} and {4-Spades} didn't improve his hand.

Drinan Eliminates Nemeth

Level 8 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

Connor Drinan opened under the gun for 135K and called the shove of Andras Nemeth a couple of seats over for 456,346.

Drinan: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Nemeth: {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Nemeth was slightly ahead with kings but Drinan picked up a pretty good flop in {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The {q-Spades} gave him a leading two pair, so Nemeth needed to improve on the river, and the {10-Diamonds} didn't do it.

Kaiser Fades After Awful Turn

Level 7 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ronny Kaiser opened, Matthew "BTC2zERO" Stone three-bet in the small blind and Kaiser jammed with a covering stack. Stone called for about 600K total and showed {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-}{9-} against Kaiser's {a-}{a-}{5-}{5-}.

The {j-Clubs}{3-}{4-} flop was perfect for Kaiser but Stone caught the perfect turn with the {8-Clubs} to rocket up to 45% equity. However, the river was the {8-Hearts}.

Haugen Doubles Through Muller

Level 7 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Arie Muller potted in the cutoff and called the short-stacked shove of Johan Haugen, who had about 225K.

Muller: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Haugen: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Haugen had the superior holding but was in trouble going to the river as {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} rolled off the deck. Muller hit a two-pair that he didn't want on the {q-Spades} river as Haugen made a straight.
