Cold-Four From Kaverman

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Seth Davies opened cutoff to 12,000, provoking a three-bet from small blind Sam Soverel who made it 50,000 to go.

Byron Kaverman paused, thinking of his action in the big blind. He eventually slid in 120,000. His cold four-bet got through as both remaining players quickly folded.

Holz tabled his {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Petrangelo mucked.

Negreanu Gets There, Clips Kenney

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised to 12,500 in the cutoff and all remaining players joined the contest. Bryn Kenney flatted the button while Kahle Burns and John Andress came along from the blinds.

The flop fell {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Negreanu continued for 15,000. Only Andress released his hand, Kenney and Burns wanted to see the turn.

It was the {J-Clubs} and Negreanu fired another 65,000. Kenney matched his bid and Burns gave up to leave the pot heads-up.

The river came {3-Clubs} and Negreanu bet big, firing 225,000. Kenney called in a second to see the bad news. Negreanu rolled over {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for runner-runner nuts. Kenney, unfortunately for him, made the nut straight on the turn with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} only to get redrawn on the river.

Smith Times Two

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kathy Lehne completed and called when Dan Smith raised to 20,000.

Smith barreled on the {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop and the {6-Spades} turn and Lehne called both bets, paying 25,000 and 58,000, respectively.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Lehne checked one more time. Smith used a timebank to figure out what to do, having last 95,000 in front of him. He moved all-in after 90 seconds and Lehne called.

Smith showed {Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}, getting maximum value from his flopped top pair as Lehne mucked in defeat.

Justin Bonomo raised the cutoff to 12,000, and both Jason Koon and Fedor Holz called from out of the blinds.

The flop landed {4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and action was checked through as the turn landed the {2-Diamonds}.

Koon led out for 15,000 and Holz raised to 56,000. Bonomo folded, but Koon responded with a three-bet to 140,000.

Holz called, and after the river landed the {3-Hearts}, Koon used a time extension chip before he checked. Holz checked behind, and Koon tabled his {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a busted straight draw.

Holz tabled his {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for two-pair, and he collected the pot.

Holz Eliminated by Bonomo

Level 10 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Fedor Holz
Fedor Holz

From under the gun, Jason Koon opened with a raise to 12,000 before Fedor Holz three-bet to 35,000 in the cutoff. With the action on Justin Bonomo in the small blind, he four-bet to 95,000.

Koon folded, but Holz called as the dealer spread a {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop.

Bonomo bet out 70,000 and Holz called as the turn landed the {3-Spades}.

Bonomo bet 150,000, and with Holz' time about to expire, he announced a raise to 390,000. Bonomo called fairly quickly, and when the river landed the {7-Diamonds}, he checked.

Holz announced he was all in, and Bonomo immediately asked for a count. The dealer broke down Holz' stack to reveal he had 465,000, and after using one of his time extension chips, Bonomo called.

Holz tabled his {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flopped flush, but it would be Bonomo's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for a bigger flush that would put Holz on the rail of the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl while sending Bonomo soaring up the leaderboard to sit with 2.6 million in chips; good for roughly 20% of the chips in play with 19 players remaining.

Dan Smith had 146,500 left when the action folded to him. He was on the button, opening to 11,500. Steffen Sontheimer folded but Stephen Chidwick, sitting behind a huge tower of chips, responded with a three-bet to 35,000. Smith called.

The flop landed {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Chidwick placed in a 25,000-bet. Smith moved all-in for just over 100,000, getting a fold from Chidwick.
