Khoroshenin Spends Five Minutes in the Tank

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Oleksii Khoroshenin in the small blind and he raised the action to 55,000. Scott Seiver called from the big blind and the two took a flop.

The dealer fanned {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Khoroshenin checked. Seiver fired out a bet of 70,000 and action fell back on Khoroshenin. He reached for chips, grabbing two extra T25,000 chips and dropping out 120,000 instead of the 70,000 for a call. The floor was called over and it was ruled as a raise, forcing Khoroshenin to make it 140,000 to go. Action was suddenly back on Seiver.

"If I re-raise here are you going to with ace-jack?" asked Seiver. "This is an interesting spot."

Seiver thought some more.

"Are you going to let it go?" he continued. "I guess I'll have to find out the hard way. I'll make it 275."

With that, Seiver raised the action to 275,000 total. Action was back on Khoroshenin and the minutes ticked by off of the clock. Once he had been in the tank for roughly five minutes, Seiver asked the floor staff for time to be called. Khoroshenin was given one minute to act or else his hand would be declared dead. With roughly two seconds to go in his final minute, Khoroshenin picked up his cards and dropped them into the muck. Seiver tabled the {9-Spades} and mucked his second card.

With this win, Seiver has crossed the million-chip mark with about 1.04 million in his stack.

Kuether Doubles Through Heimiller

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Kuether
Joe Kuether

Dan Heimiller raised to 55,000 from the cutoff seat, and play slid over to Nick Petrangelo in the small blind. He took his time to think about his decision, then folded. Joe Kuether was in the big blind, and he reraised all in.

"Let me take a look," said Heimiller right away, popping up a bit in his chair and counting out Kuether's stack from across the table. "One... two... three..."

"516,000," said Kuether, which the dealer broke down and verified.

"OK... OK... OK..." Heimiller continued on. Eventually, he made the call.

Heimiller tabled the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, and Kuether had the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to give Heimiller a flush draw, and then the {K-Clubs} turn card put him in the lead. Kuether still had plenty of outs, and he hit one when the {3-Clubs} fell on the river.

"Ewww!" said Heimiller with a sigh. "That's a good one for the write-up at least."

From under the gun, Nick Petrangelo raised to 45,000. Dan Heimiller called from the small blind, and then Bryn Kenney moved all in for 564,000 from the big blind. Petrangelo took some time, then folded, and Heimiller quickly followed suit.

"I was at the top of my range," commented Kenney to Petrangelo after the hand.

Savard Takes One Off Heimiller

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Play folded to Jean-Pascal Savard in the small blind, and he completed the call with Dan Heimiller in the big blind. Heimiller raised to 60,000, and Savard called to take a flop.

After the {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop came out, Savard checked, and Heimiller bet 75,000. Savard called, and the turn was the {3-Diamonds}. Savard checked, Heimiller checked, and the river was the {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked again.

Savard showed the {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker, and Heimiller couldn't beat it. Heimiller did flash the {A-Hearts}, but then mucked his hand.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Oleksii Khoroshenin raised to 45,000 from the button and Dominik Nitsche called from the big blind.

The flop fell {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Nitsche check-called 55,000 from Khoroshenin to see the {J-Hearts} turn. Nitsche check-called 105,000 from Khoroshenin this time, landing the {A-Clubs} river to the board.

Both players checked and Nitsche tabled {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flush. Khoroshenin mucked and Nitsche collected the pot.

Jaka Ships

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Lee Markholt was first to act. He checked and Faraz Jaka led out for 78,000. Ilkin Garibli folded, Oleksii Khoroshenin called, and Markholt let his cards go.

The {J-Spades} hit the turn and Jaka moved all in for his last 219,000. Khoroshenin pondered the decision for a moment but ultimately decided to let it go. Jaka took the pot and now has about 515,000.

Heimiller tabled the {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of fives, and Petrangelo mucked his hand after being unable to produce better.

Heimiller Thinks He Bet Too Big

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Dan Heimiller
Dan Heimiller

From under the gun, Dan Heimiller raised to 50,000. Jean-Pascal Savard called from the big blind, and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Savard checked, Heimiller bet 60,000, and Savard called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} to pair the board. Savard opted to lead and fired 61,000. Heimiller put in a raise to 186,000, and Savard tank-called. Then, after the dealer completed the board with the {9-Clubs}, Savard checked, and Heimiller bet 350,000. This sent Savard into the tank, but he eventually gave it up, commenting under his breath that he didn't think his six was good.

"You had a six?" asked Heimiller. "Wow, good fold! You really had a six?"

Heimiller then showed the {6-Diamonds} first followed by the {5-Diamonds} for a full house.

"I can't believe I bet too big!" said Heimiller. "Maybe I didn't, I don't know. Sometimes I can never tell."
