Chop It Up With a Sweat

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Yang Wang raised to 19,000 and Shuo Li pushed his big chips forward and then said "oh, I meant to move all in," but the chip movement counted, as such it was a raise to 80,000 instead with some 30,000 behind. Sergey Lebedev called on the button and Wang folded.

On the {5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Li moved all in and Lebedev called.

Shuo Li: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Sergey Lebedev: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds} turn gave both players a sweat, as Lebedev had the higher flush draw. However, the {A-Clubs} river secured the split pot.

A few minutes later, Li three-bet shoved and got through with it, as Xiaoyang Luo folded.

Nakagawa Busts to Addamo

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Masaya Nakagawa
Masaya Nakagawa

There were several all-ins with no callers, with Manig Loeser and Troy Quenneville shoving at the right time to take down pots without showdown.

Michael Addamo won a decent sized pot from Nick Petrangelo, folding out the US pro after calling a Petrangelo late position raise pre-flop from the blinds and firing all three streets to climb up to over half a million in chips and drop Petrangelo down to 200,000 before Japan’s Mayasa Nakagawa became the next paying casualty.

It was Petrangelo who lit the fuse with a late position open to 18,000 pre-flop and both Nakagawa and Addamo made the call from the cut off and button respectively to take play three-way to a {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop.

Petrangelo continuation bet for 22,000 and both opponents called to keep the action three-way to the {2-Diamonds} turn.

This slowed down the current Global Poker Index Player of the Year frontrunner who checked the action over to Nakagawa who decided to seize the initiative with a bet of 50,000.

Addamo called and Petrangelo folded to bring play heads-up to the {5-Diamonds} river. This brought a check from Nakagawa and after running the shot clock down to 10-seconds Addamo moved all-in to send the Japanese player deep into the think tank.

Addamo had Nakagawa covered and with just seconds to spare on the shot clock the Japanese player made the call for his tournament life. While Nakagawa had {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for two pairs he could not beat Addamo’s {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Nakagawa departed in 19th place.

Then, Yu raised from the button for 18,000 and Dan Smith three-bet to 55,000 in the small blind. Yu called and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Smith continued for 45,000 and Yu called before the {J-Spades} turn triggered a bet worth 125,000 by Smith. Yu folded with three seconds on the clock and Smith extended his lead.

Petrangelo Doubles Through Dvoress

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised it up to 16,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Daniel Dvoress in the big blind. The Canadian asked for the stack size of his opponent, which amounted to 201,000, and Dvoress then moved all in. Petrangelo called and had a flip for his tournament life.

Nick Petrangelo: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Daniel Dvoress: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Dvoress' stack was cut in half. "Fold like a ... and win a flip," Petrangelo said with a grin on the face.

Addamo Pressures, Li Doubles

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With chips to spare Michael Addamo has been turning up the heat since the elimination of Nakagawa taking down several pots without showdown.

Addamo won a battle of the blinds against Nick Petrangelo after the US player limped from the small blind before check-raising Addamo’s 23,000 raise to the tune of 90,000.

Addamo made the call and the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, which both player checked. After Petrangelo checked for the second time on the {9-Spades} turn Addamo slid out a tower of yellow 5k chips for a bet of 112,000 and Petrangelo quickly mucked.

Addamo pushed Xixiang Luo off another pot a few hands later, check raising the Chinese player’s 19,000 c-bet on a {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} from the small blind to the tune of 57,000 which was enough to get Luo to give it up.

Shou Li managed to earn a double up at the expense of Sosia Jiang after moving all in pre-flop with king-queen. Jiang made the call with ace-jack and while Li was behind the board came down queen-high and Liu climbed to 220,000 while Jiang dropped to 356,000.
