More Level 9 Counts

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ortega Gets the Last Laugh

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alan Keating
Alan Keating

Felipe Ketzer opened to 40,000 in middle position and Alan Keating flicked in a three-bet to 200,000 on the button. Andre Ortega four-bet jammed all in for 880,000 which put Ketzer in the blender before calling off his stack of around 500,000. Keating was enjoying the moment as he tossed in his last 165,000 and all three hands were tabled.

Alan Keating: KJAll in
Felipe Ketzer: JJAll in
Andre Ortega: KK

"Oh no," Keating giggled after seeing the hands.

"Oh no!" Ketzer exclaimed a little louder seeing one of his outs dead.

The flop of 772 gave Keating a flush draw but the 10 and A runout was of no help.

"That was fun," Keating said standing from his seat. "Do we play tomorrow or go to the spa?" he pondered. "One is sitting in happiness and the other is sitting in despair."

Ho Climbs the Leaderboard

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

The action folded to Maria Ho on the button who made it 40,000 to go. Igor Ribeiro called from the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of AKJ. Ribeiro checked to Ho who continued with a bet of 30,000 and Ribeiro called.

The A paired the board on the turn and Ribeiro check-called another bet of 130,000 from Ribeiro. The 10 completed the board and both players tapped the table. Ribeiro turned over J10 for two pair but Ho showed A3 for trip aces to claim the pot.

Alan Keating's watch

The entries have slowed down as the night has progressed but the tournament clock is still showing a total of 455 entries for the opening flight of the $25,000 Super Main Event. The remaining 236 players are going on their last 15-minute break of the night with two levels still remaining tonight. Here is a look at the last two hours of play:

Another Flop Goes Keating's Way

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

There was a raise to 32,000 in early position and a call from the cutoff. Alan Keating reraised to 165,000 on the button, leaving himself just 17,000 behind. Andre Ortega moved all in as the big stack from the small blind and the rest of the table folded. Keating called and the hands were revealed.

Alan Keating: 1010All in
Andre Ortega: QQ

The flop came K109 with the ten right in the window for Keating. The 7 and 8 runout changed nothing and Keating scored himself another double up.

Cimbolas Makes Correct Call in the Nic of Time

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

With roughly 300,000 in the middle on the completed board of 865A10, Daniel Neilson fired a bet of 323,000 from the big blind. Matas Cimbolas was in early position and went deep into the tank. After a couple of minutes, the clock was called.

When the floor arrived he let Cimbolas know that he had 30 seconds to act or his hand would be declared dead. As the floor counted down from five, he reached one and Cimbolas splashed chips across the line to make the call.

Neilson rolled over J4 for jack-high, and Cimbolas tabled AQ to drag the pot with top pair.

Quads for Keating

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alan Keating
Alan Keating

Alan Keating moved his last 66,000 into the middle from under the gun and Felipe Ketzer made the call on the button.

"Yes," Keating exclaimed as Felix Neubauer moved all in from the big blind. Ketzer smiled while sliding his cards to the dealer, leaving Keating at risk heads up.

Alan Keating: K4 All in
Felix Neubauer: AJ

Keating found immediate help on the KKJ, making trip kings while the 7 turn changed nothing. The dealer then completed the board with the K on the river, giving Keating all of the kings while earning a double up.

Ponakovs Gets Paid with Full House

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

Alexandre Pruneau opened 32,000 in the hijack and both Aram Zobian on the button as well as Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind made the call.

All three players checked to the 1095K10 river, where Ponakovs fired 45,000 across the line. Pruneau folded, but Zobian tossed in the call.

Ponakovs tabled 109 for a full house, and Zobian tossed his cards into the muck.
