Antti Halme Loses Some and Then the Rest

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Antti Halme
Antti Halme

With about 22,000 already in the pot and the completed board reading {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, Antti Halme bet 10,000 from the big blind and Yuto Watanabe called from under the gun. Wanatabe tabled {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for top pair, top kicker and Halme mucked.

The next hand, it looked like he jammed from the small blind over a raise from the cutoff and got a call from his opponent. Halme had {5-}{5-} and his opponent held {K-}{K-}. The board was no help to Halme and he has been eliminated.

Players are now on a 15-minute break.

Choi Gets Lucky

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ikmyung Choi opened for 2,500 in middle position and got three-bet to 8,000 by a player on the button. Choi responded by shoving all in, but he knew he was in trouble when his opponent snap-called.

Choi: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Button: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop changed things in a hurry in Choi's favor. The {9-Spades} turn and {q-Clubs} river kept him best. Stacks were cut down and Choi had about 37,000, while his opponent had around 32,000.
