Feldman Stays in the Race

Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded to Taylor Von Kriegenbergh who raised to 200,000 from the hijack, before Ryan Feldman three-bet all in for 825,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to Von Kriegenbergh who made the call to put Feldman at risk.

Ryan Feldman: A♦K♥ All in
Taylor Von Kriegenbergh: 9♠9♥

It was a flip for Feldman's tournament life, but he would need to improve to stay in the tournament. The 5♠Q♠8♠ didn't help Feldman's cause, as Von Kriegenbergh picked up a flush draw to take away two of Feldman's outs. But the K♣ on the turn did, as Feldman now took the lead, needing to fade a nine or spade to stay in the tournament. The 3♥ on the river was safe for Feldman, to give him the double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Fedor Holz raised to 200,000 from under the gun, and Chance Kornuth called in the hijack with A♦A♣. It then folded to Esti Wang in the big blind who also made the call with K♥6♥.

All three players checked the 8♥7♠10♦ flop, which brought the 5♣ on the turn. Wang bet out 350,000, which got Holz to fold, and Kornuth made the call.

The river was the 9♥ and Wang bet out 300,000 with his straight. Kornuth then chose to raise to 1,200,000 with his pocket aces, and Wang called. Kornuth had to toss his aces in the muck as Wang successfully cracked aces to take the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Elias Talvitie raised to 200,000 from early position. It then folded to Adrian Mateos on the button who three-bet to 600,000. Once the blinds folded, Talvitie decided to four-bet all in for his stack of 3,950,000. Mateos, who had the exact same amount of chips made the call.

Elias Talvitie: A♥A♣ All in
Adrian Mateos: A♦Q♦

Mateos made the call to setup a a ginormous pot between himself and Talvitie, and once the cards were on their back, saw he would need lots of help to stay in the tournament. The 2♦Q♣K♥ flop gave Mateos outs to crack the aces, and the J♠ on the turn gave him extra chop outs. Mateos was very pleased to see those chop outs came in as the 10♦ hit the river, giving Mateos new life as both players made a Broadway straight.

Adrian Mateos	4,100,000 300,000	300,000

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Action folded to Joao Vieira in the hijack, and he raised all in for 400,000. It then folded to Fedor Holz on the button, who three-bet all in for 1,500,000. Once the blinds folded, it was the two players heads up with Vieira at risk.

Joao Vieira: 3♥3♣ All in
Fedor Holz: 9♠9♣

Holz had the dominate position with the bigger pocket pair, but that didn't last long on the 8♠2♣3♦ flop to give Vieira a set. However, the 9♥ on the turn flipped the roles again, as Holz made a bigger set. The 4♠ on the river brought no help for Vieira, as he was eliminated.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Ferdinand Putra raised to 200,000 on the button, and was called by Alex Foxen in the small blind with Q♥J♠ and Daniel Dvoress in the big blind with 10♦8♣.

After the 9♦A♥10♠ flop, both Foxen and Dvoress check-called a bet of 150,000 from Putra.

All three players checked the J♥ on the turn, which brought the 10♣ on the river. Foxen checked and Dvoress bet out 550,000 with his trips. Putra then decided to raise all in for his stack of 1,500,000. Foxen quickly folded, and Dvoress sat in the tank debating his decision. After using several time banks, Dvoress made the call. Putra then turned over K♥J♣ and was sent to the rail after Dvoress tabled his trip tens.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Dvoress	5,100,000 2,100,000	2,100,000
Alex Foxen	2,000,000 2,000,000	2,000,000

Jessica Teusl open-jammed for around 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Phillip Nagy re-shoved in the small blind with a bigger stack.

Jessica Teusl: A♠10♠
Phillip Nagy: A♦10♦

A chop seemed imminent before the flop landed 5♣J♦3♦ to give Nagy a flush draw. The 5♦ turn then had Teusl drawing dead to the A♣ river to be eliminated in brutal fashion.

Taylor Von Kriegenbergh: A♥Q♦ All in
Adrian Mateos: 10♠10♥

It was a massive flip for Von Kriegenbergh tournament life, but he was unable to improve past Mateos pocket tens as the board ran out 6♣5♥6♠2♠8♠ to send Von Kriegenbergh to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Michael Moncek opened to 275,000 in middle position and called as Elton Tsang three-bet jammed in the small blind.

Elton Tsang: K♥Q♦ All in
Michael Moncek: K♣J♣

"One time! Domination!" Tsang yelled as he saw he had Moncek pipped. But the flop landed 5♦4♣J♥ to give Moncek a big lead and the board finished out 9♠3♦ to mark Tsang's unfortunate elimination ahead of the three table redraw.
