Bhojani Eliminated on the Bubble by Kalil

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Imran Bhojani raised to 32,000 from an early position and left himself 6,000 chips behind. Gareth Kalil called in the hijack and the rest of the table folded.

On a flop of 9♥5♣4♣, Bhojani check-called all-in and the cards were revealed when all other tables had finished their action.

Imran Bhojani: A♠J♠ All in
Gareth Kalil: K♥K♠

The 10♠ turn was a blank and the K♦ river only improved Kalil to a set of kings in order to let the bubble burst.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kushil Shah jammed a short stack on the button to get called by both players in the blinds, Moon Khan and Kinesh Pather.

The two active players checked the entire board of A♠4♦3♦6♦4♥.

Shah exposed the 7♠7♥, Khan had the 2♥2♠ and the Q♠5♠ of Pather couldn't deal the final blow either - triple up!

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In hand three of hand-for-hand mode, Keegan Pillay three-bet jammed for 127,000 against Darryl Shaff and received no call.

Two hands later, two bigger stacks tangled when Roy Bitton fired a bet of 105,000 on the K♦4♦3♣4♥6♦ river. Benjamin Lingenfelder tank-called and his 8♦8♠ was good versus A♦Q♥.

One table over, Okkie Fourie opened to 12,000 and folded when Gary Citron jammed for 60,000.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joe Rahme has been eliminated on table 13, which happened to be the former live stream table. He was the shortest stack heading into the day and doubled once to stay afloat but it was not meant to be.

Nick Sissou raised from under the gun for Rahme to flat-call on the button. The flop came Q♦4♣3♣ and Sissou check-jammed for Rahme to call-in with the K♣Q♠. Hissou's Q♣Q♥ were miles ahead and a blank turn left Rahme drawing dead.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a battle small blind versus button, a pot of nearly 250,000 emerged on a board of 7♦6♦6♣9♣A♠.

Elai Mazor had fired three barrels on the button and Gareth Kalil was the one check-calling twice before he went deep into the tank. The final bet of Mazor was for 165,000 and Kalil used three time banks before calling.

Mazor flashed pocket eights but Kalil won the pot with 9♦4♦ for a missed flush draw on the flop that made superior two pair on the turn.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gareth Kalil	825,000 295,000	295,000

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Before all hands were completed, there was an all-in and call on the outer tables right in front of the feature table stage.

Imran Bhojani jammed the button for 35,000 and Gareth Kalil called in the big blind.

Imran Bhojani: A♥10♦ All in
Gareth Kalil: K♠9♣

The Q♠4♣3♥3♣Q♥ board kept Bhojani in contention and there will now be a short pause to break a table and double check the remaining tables close to the money bubble.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was one seat open to reduce the field to the last 55 players and it happened to be Harold Brooks. He three-bet jammed into his previous nemesis Jedd Kossew, who called from an early position.

Harold Brooks: A♣J♣ All in
Jedd Kossew: 5♥5♠

The pair improved to a set on the 8♠5♦4♥7♦2♦ board and that spelled the end for Brooks.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gareth Kalil bet the 8♥7♦5♦2♥ turn for 40,000 and earned check-calls from Huawei Sun as well as Imran Bhojani in the big blind. Sun then peeked at Bhojani's stack on the 3♥ river before he bet 40,000. Bhojani folded but Kalil called to get shown the J♥10♥ for a jack-high flush.

Kalil sighed and exposed 5♥4♥ for an inferior flush.
