Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Raman Afanasenka
Raman Afanasenka

Min Zhang shoved all in for around 120,000 in middle position and action folded around to Raman Afanasenka in the big blind, who asked for a count. Once he heard the number, he called.

Min Zhang: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Raman Afanasenka: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Zhang found herself drawing to only four outs after the flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, and a running {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} made the hand official to bring about her elimination shortly after the bubble burst.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brandon Lombardo was just seen with a stack north of 600,000 and was kind enough to fill in the details on how he got there. A player raised under the gun and action folded around to the player on the button, who re-jammed for 88,000.

Lombardo reraised all in for the 160,000 effective in the original opener's stack, and they called for a three-way all in.

Under the Gun: {a-Hearts}{k-}
Player on the Button: {6-}{6-}
Brandon Lombardo: {j-}{j-}

The flop {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} kept the hand interesting as Lombardo flopped top set but was needed to fade another heart to win the pot. He did just that as the turn {k-Spades} and river {9-Clubs} completed the runout.

Kyna England opened to 15,000 in middle position and was three-bet to 45,000 by Jesse Vilchez in the hijack. Action folded back to England and she called, taking action heads up to a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Both players checked.

England made a bet of 40,000 on the turn {7-Diamonds} and Vilchez called, bringing the river {4-Spades}. England checked and Vilchez put out a bet of 120,000, just under half his remaining stack. England thought for over a minute, taking out her headphones for some of that time to fully consider the hand. Eventually, she found a call.

Vilchez rolled over {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for three fours and England mucked, unable to top it. With the pot, Vilchez now finds himself over 500K while England has dipped below 200,000.

Lee Markholt had raised in the small blind after action folded to him and Jacob Beck re-shoved in the big blind. The raise had been pulled into the middle and the dealer was counting up the remaining 81,000 that Markholt needed to call. After he got the number, he put in chips to match.

Jacob Beck: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Lee Markholt: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}, leaving Beck unable to improve to result in his elimination at the expense of Markholt. Markholt now finds himself with 660,000.

Sean Yu: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
