Sisemore Flops a Straight

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jon Swift limped in the small blind with {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Daniel Sisemore checked in the big blind with {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop was a favorable one for Sismore, coming out {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Swift checked, and Sisemore checked back.

Swift checked again on the {10-Diamonds} turn, Sisemore bet 95,000, and Swift called.

The river came {q-Clubs}, and Swift check-folded to a 350,000 from Sisemore.

Bohao "Andy" Zhu Eliminated in 7th Place ($10,080)

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Bohao "Andy" Zhu
Bohao "Andy" Zhu

Action folded to the short-stacked Andy Zhu in the cutoff and he raised to 200,000. Colton Blomberg was in the big blind with the {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and thought for a bit before making the call.

The {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop was gin for Blomberg and he checked it. Zhu moved in for his last 505,000 and Blomberg snap-called.

The {q-Diamonds} on the turn improved Blomberg to aces full and left Zhu drawing dead.

The meaningless {j-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Zhu headed to the payout desk in seventh place.

Voislav Ivanovski Eliminated in 8th Place ($8,328)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Voislav Ivanovski
Voislav Ivanovski

On just the second hand of the final table, Vincent Newland opened for 110,000 holding the {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} in the hijack and Colton Blomberg called from the cutoff with the {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Voislav Ivanovski came along from the big blind with the {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and it was three-way action to the {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop.

Two checks opened the door for Blomberg to bet 185,000 with his flush and straight draws, and Ivanovski responded by check-raising to 500,000. Newland folded and Blomberg paused for a few beats before just calling.

After the dealer burned and turned the {q-Clubs}, Ivanovski moved all in for his last 945,000 and Blomberg snap-called with the flush.

Ivanovski was drawing dead and watched helplessly as the {a-Spades} peeled off on the river.

Daniel Sisemore: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Board: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
