Patgorski Eliminates Badziakouski and Gets Full Double Through Dwan

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Tom Dwan made it 80,000 in the first position, Gabe Patgorski flatted in the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski jammed his 320,000 on the button. Dwan slid forward a pile of chips to cover Patgorski's stack and Patgorski was prepared to go in a three-way battle.

Badziakouski: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Patgorski: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Dwan: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Badziakouski was amazed. He asked if there was any card that could help him and Dwan offered an ace. But the {10-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead as Patgorski was guaranteed to win. Dwan could still chop if a queen hit the river but the {8-Diamonds} left Patgorski with the whole 1.4 million pot while Badziakouski left the stage.

The final seven players took a short break in order to get redrawn to the final table.

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante
Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

Can Wai Leong opened to 125,000 under the gun and action folded around to the button where Tom Dwan called.

The flop was {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Dwan checked. Chan put out a bet of 180,000 and Dwan tanked for a bit before moving all in for 1,080,000. Chan tanked a bit himself then called, putting Dwan at risk with the shorter stack.

Chan Wai Leong: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Tom Dwan: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Dwan had a double gutshot while Chan was holding top pair but the turn was the {8-Spades} completing Dwan's straight and earning him the double up immediately. The river was the {7-Clubs}.

Dwan took down the pot with his straight and moved over two million while Chan was left with just 50,000 chips.

Another Double for Patgorski

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

Gabe Patgorski open-shoved in the cutoff for 220,000 and Mikita Badziakouski was visibly displeased with his hand. He got the count confirmed and then figured out that he had to call.

Patgorski: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Badziakouski: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Badziakouski trailed but the {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} gave him a gut shot.

The turn fell {8-Hearts} and Badziakouski smiled: "So close!"

Patgorski prevailed on the {10-Hearts} river and doubled up.

Patgorski Squeaks Out a Double

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

Alan Sass limped in under the gun and Gabe Patgorski followed suit next to act. Tom Dwan called as well and Chan Wai Leong checked his option.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and all four players checked to see the {8-Hearts} on the turn. There, action checked to Patgorski who moved all in for 65,000. Everyone folded around back to Sass who tanked for a bit.

"Do we got a hero?" Patgorski asked. "We got a hero!"

Sass called and the hands were turned up.

Gabe Patgorski: {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Alan Sass: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and that would seal it for Patgorski, allowing him to double with two pair.

Chan's Kings Hold Against Patgorski

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

Chan Wai Leong was all in preflop for 635,000, facing off against Gabe Patgorski who had him covered by a few button-antes.

Chan: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Patgorski: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Patgorski called his hand a "bad beat hand" but the {Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop wasn't the one he was looking for. The {9-Diamonds} sealed it for Chan and he received a full double after the {A-Spades} completed the board.

Patgorski and Durrrr Tangle

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

Tom Dwan opened under the gun with a raise to 115,000. Gabe Patgorski called in the cutoff.

The flop was {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Dwan checked to Patgorski who put out a bet of 80,000. Dwan called.

On the {10-Clubs} turn, both players checked to see the {7-Hearts} on the river. There, Dwan checked and Patgorski dropped into the tank, thinking for some time before he checked it back.

Dwan showed {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a straight and it was good to take down the pot.

"Almost?" Dwan asked, wondering if Patgorski almost bet. "It looked like almost."

"Nah, I was just tanking to waste your time," Patgorski responded with a smile.

Tang Shoves on Koon

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

Jason Koon and Devan Tang were in for 200,000 apiece, both holding jack-ten suited.

Tang had the preflop aggression and the better position. He continued on the {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{A-Clubs} flop, betting 330,000 and Koon check-called.

The {8-Clubs} turn brought a flush draw for Tang who held the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. He jammed and forced Koon of a potential chop as Koon folded his {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Chan Takes It on Flop

Level 11 : 0/0, 15,000 ante

After several hands that all ended preflop, the first community cards hit the felt on the secondary table when Gabe Patgorski limped under the gun, Tom Dwan overlimped in the hijack, inviting Chan Wai Leong to the pot. Alan Sass checked on the button and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Chan fired what looked like a bet of 80,000 and all of his opponents gave up.
