Moneymaker Spikes the River to Score Double Knockout

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

Action folded to Viktor Blom in the cutoff, who open-jammed for his stack of 585,000. Then Jack Hardcastle in the small blind three-bet all in for his stack of 855,000, and Chris Moneymaker in the big blind called to put both players at risk.

Viktor Blom: 99 All in
Jack Hardcastle: AQ All in
Chris Moneymaker: 77

Blom was ahead with his pocket nines and stayed ahead after the 4310 flop. The A on the turn put Hardcastle in the lead, until the 7 came on the river, giving Moneymaker a set of sevens, to scoop the pot and eliminate both Blom and Hardcastle.

Kabrhel Sends Sgrilletti Deep Into the Tank

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 762Q and roughly 1,000,000 in the pot.

Martin Kabrhel in the small blind led out for a bet of 575,000, and Martin Sgrilletti in the hijack made the call.

The river brought the Q, and Kabrhel took his time before betting to put Sgrilletti all in for his stack of 1,500,000. Sgrilletti went into the tank for nearly four minutes, using seven time extensions. Agonizing over the decision, Sgrilletti elected to muck his hand and give the pot to Kabrhel.

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ebony Kenney
Ebony Kenney

The action was briefly recapped to PokerNews by Ebony Kenney, who just eliminated Andras Nemeth and Vanush Mnatsakanian.

There was a raise before Vanush Mnatsakanian shoved from the hijack. Andras Nemeth rejammed from the cutoff, with the action folding to Kenney in the small blind. She called as the covering stack, with the original raiser folding.

Vanush Mnatsakanian: A10All in
Andras Nemeth: KQAll in
Ebony Kenney: AxAx

Kenney's aces held best on the 84Q6Xx runout for her to hit the four million mark.

Even Hall of Famers Make Mistakes

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius

Patrik Antonius opened from early position, making it a large 175,000 to go. That raise folded out the table, with a tablemate asking if his sizing was intentional.

"That was a real misclick," laughed Antonius, who added that he would've been happy to get it in, tabling KxKx.

Also on the table is vlogger Frank Cucchiara. He took a small pot in a blind on blind battle, where his Q6 beat an opponent's 106 on the K97A6 board.

Kalb's Big Raise Gets Through

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet opened to 80,000 from middle position, which was called by Kristen Foxen on the button and the big blind Jacob Kalb.

After the 9K8 flop, Kalb checked to Nolet, who bet out 175,000. Foxen made the call before Kalb raised to 825,000. Nolet quickly folded, while Foxen gave it some thought before folding as well, giving the pot to Kalb.

Nolet Gets Value

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jacob Kalb opened to 80,000 from middle position and called when Guillaume Nolet made it 275,000 from the cutoff.

Kalb check-called for 200,000 on the J63 flop before the Q turn checked through to the 3 river. Kalb led out for 150,000 and then saw Nolet raise to 800,000. After using a time bank, Nolet called.

"Queen," Nolet announced. He showed down Q10, and Kalb shook his head before mucking.

"I Should've Let Them Muck His Cards"

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo open-jammed 420,000 from middle position, and when it folded to James Caputo in the cutoff, he three-bet all in. However, the dealer misheard Caputo, and attempted to muck his hand, before Petrangelo stopped the dealer, and they confirmed Caputo did go all in. Action folded around and it was the two players heads up, with Petrangelo at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: KQ All in
James Caputo: AJ

It was a fair fight, and after the AKJ2Q runout gave both players two pair, Caputo had the better one to take the pot and eliminate Petrangelo.

As he was leaving the table, Petrangelo jokingly said, "I should have let them muck his cards."
