Gyan Gurung - 17th Place
Gyan Gurung - 17th Place

Gyan Gurung had been nursing a short stack for a while and finally took a stand by jamming his last 100K or so holding the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Bill Byrnes looked him up with the {a-}{q-}, and while Gurung was drawing to two live cards, he failed to pair one as the board ran out an unhelpful {10-}{k-}{4-}{6-}{2-}.

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Dan Hoeft - 18th Place
Dan Hoeft - 18th Place

The biggest pot of the tournament just went down and it contained about 25% of the chips in play.

It began when Tim Burden raised to 40,000 and his neighbor to the left, Danny Hoeft, three-bet to 200,000. Action folded back to Burden and he called to see a {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Burden check-called a bet of 200,000 and the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}.

Burden slammed down a bet of 500,000 and Hoeft called to see the {8-Hearts} river.

Burden moved all in for 1.099 million and Hoeft, who had 1.04 million, opted to call off with the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}. It was no good though as Burden, the 2018 MSPT Indiana State Poker champion, had flopped a set with his {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.
