Shah Goes to the Moon and Back

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kushil Shah was all-in before the flop for 76,000 with the 7♥7♣ and was dominated by table neighbour Moon Khan, who had him pipped with the 9♠9♣.

The Q♦J♥4♦10♥7♠ runout brought the two-outer on the river and Khan sighed "I knew it was coming".

Player	Chips	Progress
Kushil Shah	160,000 35,000	35,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Some 175,000 were in the middle to the A♥4♥2♠5♣ turn when the chips went into the middle between SM and Stephen Courtney.

Stephen Courtney: 5♦5♥ All in
SM: 4♦4♠

The river was the 3♠ and they somehow chopped it up with the straight on the board, then discussed who had been the one to be unlucky. Both have comfortable big stacks and the action carries on.

SM	570,000 20,000	20,000

The action had already reached the K♦Q♠Q♣4♥8♠ river when Edgar Antezana was all-in. Alvin Pillay reluctantly called to get shown the Q♦J♣ and Pillay mucked his inferior Q♥7♥ for the same trips but worse kicker.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Ng raised for Jarred Solomon to call and they headed to the 9♦8♦6♦ flop, on which Ng's bet of 15,000 was just called.

Ng then check-raised the 7♥ turn from 31,000 to 75,000 and Solomon stuck around.

That brought them to the A♥ river on which Ng checked once more. Solomon fired a bet of 180,000 to send his opponent into the tank. "I think you have the ace of diamonds," Ng said and needed one time bank extension before folding.

During that hand, Gary Citron was knocked out on a nearby table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jarred Solomon	925,000 125,000	125,000
David Ng	550,000 125,000	125,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Merwan Corront had previously lost a flip with king-queen against the 8♠8♣ of Danny Dayani when he hit a flush but Dayani improved to a full house.

Corront now three-bet jammed for 234,000 into an open raise worth 21,000 by Gareth Kalil. Darryl Shaff reluctantly folded and Kalil reluctantly called with the far bigger stack.

Merwan Corront: Q♦Q♠ All in
Gareth Kalil: 7♥7♦

The Q♣J♠4♦J♥J♦ board gave Corront queens full of jacks.

"I folded ace-queen," Shaff mentioned in the table chat.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gareth Kalil	800,000 175,000	175,000
Darryl Shaff	700,000 100,000	100,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The chips went in after a flop of J♠8♦7♠ with Jamie Vilela as the at-risk player versus Roy Bitton.

Jamie Vilela: A♦10♠ All in
Roy Bitton: K♠9♠

Bitton had a gutshot, flush draw and one overcard at his disposal. The 3♣ turn missed but he got there with the K♦ river. Bitton banged his hand on the table and then exclaimed "can't miss every flush draw".

Roy Bitton	675,000 475,000	475,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Samuel Tebege tangled with Anand Kumar on the feature table and bet the J♠9♠6♣7♠ turn for 35,000 with the K♦K♣ from under the gun, Kumar called with the K♥Q♠. The river brought the 3♦ and Tebege's bet of 65,000 did the trick, as Kumar folded his missed combo draw.

Samuel Tebege	603,000 178,000	178,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ahmed Karrim had been eliminated from table 11 and another two players followed soon after. First to fall was Wouter Van Der Merwe, who was left with a severe short stack and his all-in was called by Jarred Solomon.

Wouter Van Der Merwe: A♠7♠ All in
Jarred Solomon: 8♣8♦

"I am rooting for you," Solomon said with a smile on the face and added "let me win the big pots".

The A♣8♠4♦ flop left Van Der Merwe on the ropes and the J♣3♦ runout sealed his fate. Timothy Du Plessis followed right after when he was all-in for fewer than a full big blind.

Jarred Solomon	940,000 15,000	15,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Teren Rumnundlall pushed all-in for the last 74,000 and Kinesh Pather looked him up with the superior stack.

Teren Rumnundlall: K♦10♣ All in
Kinesh Pather: K♠Q♠

The inferior king improved on the A♠10♥8♣ flop and 10♠ turn, but Pather still had a flush draw and straight draw. Nothing changed with the A♥ river except for Rumnundlall improving to a full house.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kinesh Pather	285,000 35,000	35,000
Teren Ramnundlall	165,000 25,000	25,000
