Dwan Doubles Dire Stack

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen made a raise to 24,000 in the cutoff. Jamie Dwan then put his last 56,000 in the middle on the button, which Nguyen called once it had folded back to him.

Jamie Dwan: A♠10♠ All in
Christopher Nguyen: 10♦8♦

The deck provided a sweat when Nguyen flopped a flush draw on J♦A♦3♠. The rest of the 6♣Q♣ runout remained free of diamonds, however, seeing Dwan double up to just under 12 big blinds.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Michel Molenaar open-jammed his 164,000 chips from the hijack. Govert Metaal called all-in for 130,000 in the small blind, after which big blind Jamie Dwan also came along, covering both opponents.

Govert Metaal: 10♥10♦ All in
Michel Molenaar: A♣7♣ All in
Jamie Dwan: A♥Q♣

Molenaar was in dire shape, but flopped two pair on A♦7♦K♣ for a gigantic lead. The 8♦ turn gave Metaal a flush draw, but it was not to be on the 2♠ river.

Molenaar raked in the big pot, eclipsing the average stack and eliminating Metaal. Dwan, meanwhile, was left with just under eight big blinds.

At the same time, Day 1 chipleader Mengshi Tian busted from the other table, falling to new chipleader Adrian Cazacu .

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu had opened to 24,000 from middle position when Jorge Artiga-Pacheco jammed his stack of 215,000 in from the small blind. Cazacu made a quick call, and the cards were tabled.

Jorge Artiga-Pacheco: 6♥6♣ All in
Adrian Cazacu: Q♠Q♦

Artiga-Pacheco turned a gutshot on 5♦A♥4♦8♠, but the 2♣ river remained safe for Cazacu to take down the pot and eliminate the Canadian.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In early position, Jonathan Proudfoot was seen tossing his last T-5,000 chip into a pot of 120,000. The flop read 8♣4♣2♣, and he was called by Jorge Artiga-Pacheco in the cutoff and Klemens Roiter in the small blind.

Artiga-Pacheco and Roiter then checked the 8♥J♣ runout through to showdown. Proudfoot tabled A♣6♦ for ace-high, besting the A♦3♦ of Artiga-Pacheco.

Roiter, however, had A♥Q♣ for the best kicker, winning the pot and eliminating Proudfoot from the Super High Roller.

Anton Bergstrom pushed in his stack of 135,000 from middle position. Govert Metaal isolated from the cutoff, and the players showed down heads-up.

Anton Bergstrom: 5♥5♣ All in
Govert Metaal: A♠Q♠
