Quads for Kohut

Jerome Kohut
Jerome Kohut

Manuel Ramirez shoved from early position for 90,000 and was called by Jerome Kohut from the next seat over to be at risk for his tournament life.

Manuel Ramirez: K♥K♦All in
Jerome Kohut: 9♣9♥

Ramirez was in a stellar spot to get a double-up as he had a better pocket pair than Kohut before the runout.

Ramirez went from favorite to all but dead when the flop came 9♦2♣9♠ to sensationally give Kohut a four of a kind on the flop.

Ramirez needed one of the most incredible comebacks ever to save his tournament, but it would not happen as the 3♥ hit the turn and the 4♠ completed the board to eliminate Ramirez.

Lennon Shoves Turn

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There were approximately 60,000 in the middle on a flop that read 8♥10♣7♠ when this hand was picked up. It checked to Junjie Tang in the hijack before he bet 14,000.

Thien Tran made the call from the small blind. Igor Guberman also called from early position. Jeffrey Lennon, however, had a different path forward as he check-raised to 49,000. Tang called, but the rest of the table folded.

Lennon went all-in for 72,500 on the 9♥ turn, which sent Tang into the tank. Tang mulled it over for a bit, but he decided on a fold as Lennon took down the healthy pot on the turn without any further action.

Shevchenko Shows Sanders the Exit

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Rasul Shevchenko went all-in for his final 60,000 from middle position before Scott Sanders called to put himself at risk for 56,000 from the small blind.

Scott Sanders: A♥10♥All in
Rasul Shevchenko: A♣K♣

Shevchenko was in a dominant position to double up with five cards to go.

Sanders would find nothing of note on the 5♦6♠2♣ flop.

The 5♥ turn presented some chop possiblities, but that did not come to pass on the Q♦ river as Shevchenko eliminated Sanders.

Jonathan Wang opened to 6,500 from the cutoff, but Yousef Salameh raised the price of admission when he three-bet to 21,500 from the small blind. Andrew Duffy cold-called out of the big blind, and Wang joined with a call.

The 4♦2♠10♥ flop led to a check from Salameh. Duffy took the initiative with a bet of 20,000. Wang called, but Salameh folded.

The K♦ turn led to a check from Duffy. Wang fired 30,000 in response, but Duffy check-raised to 103,500. Wang called to put Duffy at risk.

Andrew Duffy: 10♠10♦All in
Jonathan Wang: 4♣4♥

Duffy had Wang drawing to one out.

That out did not show up when the 3♣ hit the river to award Duffy the double up and leave Wang with the short stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrew Martin got the action started with an open from early position before Loc Hoang called from the next seat over. Kais Mohammad decided to three-bet shove for 11,500 from the small blind in response. Martin and Hoang called to put Mohammad at risk.

The 6♣4♣10♠ flop led to an all-in from Martin. Hoang got out of the way with a fold as Martin and Mohammad went to a showdown.

Kais Mohammad: A♣K♥All in
Andrew Martin: 8♠8♥

Mohammad had the overcards, but he was in trouble against Martin's pocket eights.

The 9♥ turn gave Martin a straight draw and held his lead.

Mohammad would see the final card of his tournament when the 9♦ peeled to eliminate him from Day 1d.
