Stokkan Chips Up; Chamas Jams Into Veldhuis

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With some 8,400 in the middle to the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds} river, Joao Simao bet 3,100 from a middling position. Preben Stokkan gave it some thought on the button before he made it 16,500 to go and Simao instantly folded.

One hand later, Lex Veldhuis raised to 1,600 on his second bullet of the day. The action folded to Rayan Chamas in the small blind, who eyeballed the stack size of the fellow online streamer. Once that was clarified, Chamas simply pushed all-in and forced folds from David Yan in the big blind as well as Veldhuis.

There was 9,800 in the pot. Matas Cimbolas was in the cutoff against Anton Astapau on the button.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and action checked through.

The {q-Hearts} was the turn and Cimbolas bet 5,000. Astapau called.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Cimbolas bet 5,000 again. Astapau postured before moving all in for 18,700 effective covering Cimbolas. Cimbolas went into the tank for several minutes before making the call. Cimbolas was met with bad news as Astapau turned over {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush to eliminate Cimbolas who had {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

Cornell Gets a Double

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Krpan opened to 2,000 from early position and was called by Vladas Tamasauskas from the cutoff. Tyler Cornell then jammed for 11,000 from the big blind. Krpan moved in over the top which folded out Tamasauskas.

Tyler Cornell: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
John Krpan: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Cornell was in great shape for a double and his chances of doing so increased after pairing his jack on the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. The {9-Diamonds} turn kept Krpan in contention, however, the {7-Clubs} completed the board and Cornell raked in the pot.

Kornuth Runs Bad and Loses an All-In

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Roger Teska stuck his last 5,600 in preflop and earned a call by Chance Kornuth in the small blind, who held the far covering stack.

Roger Teska: {k-Spades}{4-Spades}
Chance Kornuth: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop kept Kornuth ahead but Teska improved with the {4-Clubs} turn. Nothing changed on the {5-Hearts} river as Teska avoided elimination for now.

"You run so good. I never lost that all-in before," Kornuth said and another player at the table inquired if that was a joke. "No, I am serious," Kornuth acknowledged.
