Hellmuth Flips Lee to the Rail

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth was in the small blind and three-bet to 100,000. Jinhoon Lee then moved all in for 170,000 under the gun and Hellmuth snap-called.

Jinhoon Lee: Q♠Q♥ All in
Phil Hellmuth: A♠K♦

It was a classic flip, and Hellmuth took the lead on the K♣J♣5♥ flop with top pair. The 10♦ turn gave Lee a straight draw, but he missed the 2♥ river and Hellmuth scored the knockout.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kazuyuki Tanemura was down to 36,000 and moved all in from early position. Jordan Glazer called in middle position and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Kazuyuki Tanemura: A♠4♦ All in
Jordan Glazer: A♦Q♠

Tanemura began aggressively pointing at the board trying to will a four to come, but instead the flop came 8♠3♥2♠ as he also picked up a straight draw. Tanemura again pointed to the turn, which was the 7♦. The 9♦ river didn't answer his pleas and Tanemura was sent to the rail.

"I almost believed you," Glazer said, as he and Tanemura shared a laugh before Tanemura left the table.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov opened to 32,000 from under the gun before Danilo Velasevic three-bet to 95,000 from the button. With the action back on Obreshkov, he opted to four-bet to 210,000, and Velasevic called.

The K♥7♦7♣ flop checked through to the J♦ turn which saw Obreshkov bet 65,000, and Velasevic called.

Obreshkov checked the A♠ river and Velasevic angrily checked back as Obreshkov tabled A♦5♦ which was good enough for the win as the solver hand claimed yet another victim.

Danilo Velasevic	1,300,000 180,000	180,000

Michael Acevedo moved all in for 59,000 under the gun and Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the cutoff.

"I pushed blind," Acevedo said heading to the flop, which came A♠A♣J♦ to give him two pair and Zlotnikov a straight draw.

The turn was the 2♣.

"Deuce on the river," Acevedo pleaded, but the 9♥ worked just as well as Acevedo doubled up.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Michael Soyza opened the cutoff to 32,000 before Yeu Wei Hsiang jammed for 280,000 from the small blind. After using a time bank, Soyza announced, "Good luck, bro," and put in the call.

Yeu Wei Hsiang: A♥6♥ All in
Michael Soyza: A♣9♥

"Wow, you guys are gamblers," added tablemate Yueqi Zhu.

The board ran out A♠Q♠8♠3♠10♣ and Soyza's kicker played as Hsiang hit the rail less than ten spots from the money.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov bet 28,000 from under the gun on a flop of 10♠4♦6♣ and Pedro Padilha called in the hijack. Jesse Lonis then raised to 88,000 in the big blind.

Buhaiov came back with a reraise to 185,000 and Padilha took a minute before folding. Lonis also used a few time banks until announcing a raise to 300,000. Buhaiov quickly folded.

Lonis showed Q♣J♣ for queen-high as he took the pot.
