Seidel Slides Out the Door

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

Action folded around to Daniel Dvoress in late position and he raised to 2,000.

Michael Lech was in the hijack and three-bet to 6,600. Erik Seidel, who registered at the start of play today, moved all in for 35,100 on the button.

Dvoress briefly thought about it and opted to fold. Lech took a quick look back at his cards and called.

Lech: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Seidel: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

In a classic race, Seidel was unable to catch up as the board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades} and was eliminated.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action folded to Panama's Ajitkumar Nagrani in the small blind and he jammed for his last 8,000. Luis Alejandro Mata called from the big blind and Nagrani discovered the bad news.

Nagrani: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Nagrani was knocking on elimination's door, but he was granted a reprieve after the board ran out {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to give him a Wheel on the river.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Brian England got his last 38,000 all in preflop and found himself in a race against 2016 Aussie Millions champ Ari Engel.

Engel: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
England: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

England needed to improve to stay alive, but that didn't happen as the board instead ran out an unhelpful {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Ortiz Beats Two

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player in the big blind had a reraise to 7,600 in front of him when we got to Tito Ortiz's table, and the MMA fighter called. Another player on the button came along to see a {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop. The big blind bet 5,500 and both Ortiz and the player on the button called. Everyone checked the {4-Hearts}, and the big blind bet another 5,500 on the {q-Spades} river. Ortiz called, as did the player on the button.

Ortiz was first to show: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Everyone else mucked.

Ryan Riess

Steven Thompson Vila opened the cutoff with a raise to 2,400 and small blind Aleks Dimitrov three-bet to 7,400. Big blind Ryan Riess cold four-bet to 19,500 and initial raiser Vila instantly folded. Dimitrov tanked for a bit before he moved in. Riess quickly checked his cards one last time before he called.

Aleks Dimitrov: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Ryan Riess: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Riess departed.

2014 WSOP Main Event Drowned on the River

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

2014 WSOP Main Event champ Martin Jacobson got his last 43,000 or so all in preflop and found himself at risk against Canada's Anthony Diotte.

Diotte: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Jacobson: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Jacobson needed some help and got some when the {4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop paired his ace. The {7-Hearts} turn meant Jacobson just needed to dodge a king on the river, but that proved easier said than done as the {K-Diamonds} spiked to put an end to his day.

Abdellatif Eliminates Miranda

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jonathan Abdellatif shoved all in from early position on the river with a board of {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on the felt. Amilcar Miranda thought a couple of minutes and then called off for about 24,000, a hair under the size of the pot. Abdellatif showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Miranda couldn't beat it.

JC Alvarado Cripples Voje

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Erling Voje (hijack) was the initial raiser in a three-way hand that also involved Benjamin Pollak (small blind) and JC Alvarado (small blind).

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Alvarado checked. Voje bet 3,400 and Pollak called before Alvarado squeezed to 10,500. Voje called, Pollak folded.

The {J-Spades} hit the turn and Alvarado bet 12,000. Again Voje called.

As the {3-Spades} completed the board, Alvarado bet 27,000, leaving himself just 2,700 behind. Voje thought about it for a bit before he called. Alvarado showed {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for the flopped full house and Voje mucked.

The next hand, Voje shoved his last 15,100 with ace-king. His neighbor called with pocket queens and the board would not display a Broadway card or any other help for Voje.

Leo Fernandez Four-Bet Jams

Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

Action folded around to Eric Wasylenko in the cutoff and he raised to 2,200.

Dylan Linde was on the button and three-bet to 6,600.

Team PokerStars Pro, Leo Fernandez, was in the big blind and went into the tank for a long while before deciding to move all in for his remaining 35,600.

Wasylenko quickly folded. Linde had a decision to make for this tournament life as he had slight less than Fernandez. He took his time and after weighing his options he decided to fold, sending the pot Fernandez's way.
