Bracelet Winners Collide

Liam Gannon

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Athanasios Polychronopoulus raised to 28,000 preflop leaving himself 4,000 from early position, which folded action around to Yuval Bronshtein in the cutoff who flatted and the two players took a flop heads up.

The flop came out and Polychronopoulos put his remaining 4,000 in the pot and Bronshtein called.

Athanasios Polychronopoulos:
Yuval Bronshtein:

The turn and river came and gave no improvement to the ace-jack, giving Polychronopoulos a flush and the full double up.

Velentzas Knocks Out Kaplan In A Flip; Polychronopoulos Out

Liam Gannon

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

From the hijack a player raised to 6,000 and from one seat over Andy Kaplan moved his entire stack of 26,000 into the middle from the cutoff. Nicholas Velentzas moved all in for slightly over 60,000 and the big blind went into the tank before eventually folding and saying he had ace-king after the hijack folded.

Andy Kaplan:
Nicholas Velentzas:

It was a fair fight before the flop, but the flop left Kaplan drawing to one red nine in the deck. The turn sealed his fate with the river being just a formality and shook hands with his tablemates before exiting the tournament area.

One table over Athanasios Polychronopoulos was also eliminated from the tournament.

Bronshtein Bluffs For All Of It

Liam Gannon

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Yuval Bronshtein raised to 5,500 under the-gun and was called by a player in middle position and the big blind.

The flop saw Bronshtein bet 8,000 which was called by the middle position player only and they took a turn heads up.

The turn of checked through and the river saw Bronshtein going all-in for 22,500, sending his opponent into the tank. After thinking about the hand a decent amount, he tossed it into the muck. "Do you wanna see?" asked Bronshtein and the opponent nodded. He turned over for a pair of sevens as he raked in the pot.

Liam Gannon

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Amato moved all-in for 35,500 in middle position and from the cutoff Miller Restich moved all-in for 38,500 with action folding around the rest of the table.

Michael Amato:
Miller Restich:

Board ran out with the flop bringing a set of fives to Amato, but the turn was where Restich pulled ahead by hitting a set of his own. Amato tapped the table and left the tournament area
