Chidwick Hits the Rail

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

A completed board of 9♣8♠6♦5♠10♥ was spread across the felt in what turned out to be a massive hand between Stephen Chidwick and Troy Quenneville. Chidwick had the Q♣Q♦ face up in front of him while Quenneville held K♠K♣ and the best hand.

It was unsure as to when all of the chips got in the middle, but the stacks were counted and Chidwick was deemed to be the player at risk for around 12,500,000. Quenneville collected the chips and joined the leaders near the top of the leaderboard.

Team Unlucky: Moneymaker Goes Runner-Runner to Bust Glantz

Connor Richards

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened to 600,000 in middle position and Matt Glantz three-bet jammed a stack of 1,950,000 from the small blind. Moneymaker called.

Matt Glantz: 10♦10♥ All in
Chris Moneymaker: 9♦8♦

Glantz was in great shape with an overpair to Moneymaker's undercards, but the flop of 7♦9♥3♣ gave Moneymaker some hope. The 6♥ turn gave Moneymaker an open-ended straight draw and the 10♣ river gave Glantz a meaningless set as Moneymaker made the straight.

Glantz is a member of Team Lucky, pulled a million-dollar bounty at the 2022 WSOP and finished fourth in last year's Paradise Main Event for $685,000. Unfortunately, his luck has run out in the Super Main Event.

Matthew Belcher opened 600,000 in middle position and called a jam of 1,375,000 from Aren James in the cutoff.

Aren James: A♦J♠ All in
Matthew Belcher: K♦Q♣

The 10♥7♣2♣ flop missed both players but Belcher took the lead on the K♥ turn. When the Q♠ landed on the river to give James Broadway, he slammed the table with excitement as he said, "Phew, I thought it was all done there boys."

The 4♥ completed the board on the river and Melogno fired again, this time for 2,375,000. Petrangelo stared at him for about five seconds and made the call.

Melogno tabled 8♠7♠ for a missed straight draw and Petrangelo tabled A♦Q♠ to drag the pot.

Level 24 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Christian Rudolph raised to 800,000 in the hijack and Ren Lin three-bet to 2,000,000 on the button. Rudolph then moved all in for 8,500,000 and Lin instantly put in his "No Gamble, No Future" sticker and the chips to call.

Christian Rudolph: A♦K♣ All in
Ren Lin: J♠J♣

The two opponents were off to the races as Rudolph got up to lean on the back of his seat and await the flop. The dealer exposed Q♠J♦5♣ and Lin spiked a set, while Rudolph was left hoping to complete a straight draw.

The 8♣ turn was no help to Rudolph, while the river was the 9♥ and Rudolph went over to exchange a fist bump with Lin before heading for the exit.

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 800,000 under the gun and Roeland Peeks called on the button. Nazar Buhaiov then moved all in for 5,700,000 in the small blind, Georg Lehmann called for 5,300,000 in the big blind, and both Lin and Peeks got out of the way.

Georg Lehmann: A♣K♦ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: 10♦10♣

Lehmann was racing for his tournament life and hit top pair on the A♦8♦7♣ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 9♣Q♠ and Lehmann secured the double up.

Buhaiov believed he was eliminated and walked away from the table. Lin had to run to retrieve him and inform Buhaiov that he still had 400,000 remaining as he returned to the table to nurse a one-big blind stack.
