Lopez Doubles; Hill Crawls Back

Erick Torres

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Chauncey Hill opened to 400,000 on the button before Henri Perez Lopez went all-in for 2,325,000 from the big blind. Hill made the call to put Lopez at risk.

Henri Perez Lopez: 10♣10♦ All in
Chauncey Hill: A♦K♦

Lopez would fade the ace-king of Hill on the 8♣Q♠5♦2♥Q♥ runout to secure a big double-up as Hill was left with just 150,000.

The very next hand, Aaron Overton opened to 200,000 from early position before Chauncey Hill put in his last 150,000 from the cutoff to be at risk.

Chauncey Hill: 9♥9♦ All in
Aaron Overton: 8♦8♠

Hill would hold against Overton to stay alive on the Q♣A♦Q♦Q♥9♣ runout to double up from crumbs.

Hill would then shove and receive no callers for two hands straight to build back up to over one million.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jane Bahk limped from early position before Russell Okubo decided to risk it all with a jam for 825,000 from the next seat over. Rickey Evans made the call from the cutoff, and Bahk made the fold as Okubo was all-in and at risk as they went to a showdown.

Russell Okubo: A♠10♥ All in
Rickey Evans: A♥A♣

Okubo was in a world of hurt against the pocket aces of Evans.

He gained a slight hold when the flop came K♣10♣6♥.

A chop was possible when the Q♠ turn gave both players outs to a straight, but the 3♣ river was a blank as Okubo was eliminated from contention in 14th place.

Okubo earned $6,200 for his finish.

Randy Sadler: J♦8♦ All in
Gregory Pon: 6♠5♥

Pon was ahead with his two pair, but Sadler had outs with two cards to go.

Sadler would see the final card of his tournament when the 2♠ peeled as Pon took down the pot.

Sadler would earn $5,400 for his finish.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Rommel Damasco: 10♦8♦ All in
Jedidiah Hoffman: A♣10♣
