Riess Doubles Through Jung

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

We came upon the aftermath of an all-in pot between Seungmook Jung and Ryan Riess, seated in the first two spots. Riess had {10-}{10-} in front of him, good for top set on a board of {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Jung sent over 298,000, apparently having gotten it in pre with aces that didn't contain the {a-Clubs}.

Yu Doubles Through Wilkie

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jordan Cristos opened for 80,000 second to act and Sean Yu moved in on his left. It looked to be about 340,000 but Steve Wilkie didn't need a count as he jammed on the button. That folded out the blinds and Cristos.

Wilkie: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Yu: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Yu found the nine he sought on the {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop. The {6-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs} river kept him best.

Liu Cold Four-Bet Shoves

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Amy Patel opened for 45,000 in the hijack, Kfir Nahum made it 125,000 in the next seat, and big blind Qing Liu shipped it for around 850,000. Patel folded quickly. Nahum needed a minute but followed suit.

"I wish you would call me," Liu said.

"I had ace-king," Nahum said.

Bruce Doubles Through Vanstrom

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Connie Bruce moved in from the cutoff for about 200,000 and Jason Vanstrom shoved from the button with a covering stack.

Bruce: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Vanstrom: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} was safe enough for Vanstrom but he tensed up as the {a-Hearts} hit the turn to leave him needing a river queen. Paint arrived but it was the {j-Spades}.

Sepiol Eliminated

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Daniel Sepiol
Daniel Sepiol

Daniel Sepiol was down to 28,000 and stuck that in from the cutoff after an under-the-gun open by Jesse Vilchez. The blinds came along but folded to a c-bet on {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Vilchez: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Sepiol: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Sepiol had been outflopped and the {8-Diamonds} and {j-Spades} failed to save him.

Conniff Still Rising

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Asher Conniff opened for 32,000 in middle position and called right away after the small blind jammed about 350,000.

Conniff: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Small blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} board brought some sweat as the small blind picked up a straight draw but the {k-Hearts} river improved Conniff.
