Giuliano Surging

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Giuliano opened with a raise in the cutoff and Frank Kassela called on the button as the flop fell {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Giuliano checked.

Kassela bet out 40,000 and Giuliano check-raised to 80,000 with Kassela calling as both players checked the {6-Diamonds} on the turn before Giuliano bet out 100,000 when the river landed the {6-Hearts}.

Kassela called, but then mucked when Giuliano tabled his {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

Teng Shoves on Chia

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Victor Teng raised to 23,000 from under the gun and Joachim Chia three-bet to 43,000 from the button. The players in the blinds folded and Teng pushed forward his stack of T-25,000 chips to put Chia all in and the small talk began. Chia said that he had ace-king and tried to get some information.

Chia eventually asked whether or not Teng would show if he folds and ended up tossing his cards in the muck. Teng obliged and tabled {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}.

Liu Loses More

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived at the table just as JJ Liu raised to 25,000 from the hijack. Baden Logan made the call from the button as the blinds folded their hands.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Spades} and Liu led out for 30,000. Logan then thought for a minute before raising it up to 105,000 in chips. Liu tanked for over a minute before finally releasing her hand.

Shack-Harris: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Italiano: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

With Italiano racing for her tournament life, the {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} board ensured Italiano the double as Shack-Harris slipped to 255,000 in chips.

Jack Salter opened to 22,000 and Henry Wang defended his big blind to see a {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop.

Salter continued for 23,000 and Wang check-called before both players checked the {2-Hearts} on the turn.

The river landed the {9-Hearts} and Wang led out for 90,000 with Salter going deep into the tank before eventually calling.

Wang insta-mucked and Salter tabled his {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and scooped the pot.

Brandon Shack-Harris Eliminated in 17th Place (AU$23,441)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Shack-Harris - 17th place
Brandon Shack-Harris - 17th place

Frank Kassela opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and Brandon Shack-Harris moved all in for roughly 180,000 from the small blind. Kassela called and the cards were tabled.

Kassela: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Shack-Harris: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

With Shack-Harris in the lead, the flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} gave Kassela the advantage, and when the turn and river filled out the {Q-Diamonds} and {9-Spades}, Shack-Harris headed to the rail in 17th place for an AU$23,441 payday.

For Shack-Harris, he is still trailing George Danzer in the WSOP Player of the Year race by a significant margin, and the word is that he is entering the High Roller Event so that he has one more crack at overtaking the German.

Salter Lays It Down

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

At the same time we lost Brandon Shack-Harris a large pot was occurring over on Table 25.

With the flop showing {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} Kyle Montgomery checked from the small blind. Jack Salter then bet 20,000 from the hijack and watched as Montgomery came back over the top with a bet to 70,000. Salter called and both watched the {3-Spades} come on the turn.

Montgomery then led out for 80,000 and was called before the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Montgomery wasted no time as he slid out another bet of 130,000. Salter went into the tank for several minutes. He became very fidgety and frustrated about making his decision before finally opting to fold over five minutes later.
