Chidwick and Schulman Go Off to the Races

Tyler Boyer

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 40,000 from early position before Rayan Chamas three-bet to 130,000 on his left. It then folded to Stephen Chidwick in the cutoff, and he four-bet all in for 285,000. Once it got back to Schulman, he moved all in as well, getting Chamas to fold, leaving the players heads-up.

Stephen Chidwick: A♦K♥ All in
Nick Schulman: Q♠Q♦

It was a classic race, and when the board ran out A♥4♣3♦5♠6♠, it was Chidwick coming out on top after finding an ace to secure the double-up.

Brutal Runout for Soverel

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Emilien Pitavy raised to 40,000 from the hijack, before Sam Soverel in the cutoff three-bet all in for 235,000. It folded back to Pitavy, who made the call to put Soverel at risk.

Sam Soverel: K♦Q♦ All in
Emilien Pitavy: K♠Q♥

A chop seemed likely, with the odds slightly favoring Soverel to scoop with the suited king-queen. However, the 4♦Q♠6♠ flop gave both players a backdoor flush draw. The freeroll was reversed for Soverel after the 2♠ on the turn gave Pitavy the flush draw. Then the 4♠ hit on the river, bringing home the flush for Pitavy, sending Soverel to the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki raised to 40,000 from the hijack, and Jasper Ma in the cutoff three-bet all in for 280,000. It folded back to Adamszki who made the call to put Ma at risk.

Jasper Ma: A♣K♣ All in
Tamas Adamszki: K♦Q♦

Ma had Adamszki dominated and looked poised to double up, until the board ran out 7♦4♠Q♣9♥8♦ and Adamszki paired his queen, sending Ma to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Corey Kempson opened to 40,000 from the hijack. Aleksejs Ponakovs and Jon Vallinas called from the cutoff and big blind.

The action checked to Ponakovs on the 7♥5♥2♠ flop, and he bet 45,000. Vallinas went deep into the tank, using three time banks. Just when he was about to use a fourth, he snapped out of his trance with a shake of his head and folded. Kempson called.

The 8♠ turn and 3♥ river checked through to showdown.

Kempson tabled A♠10♥ but was beaten by Ponakovs' A♣Q♥.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After a raising war, John Pannucci was all in for 780,000 with Pedro Padilha putting him at risk.

John Pannucci: A♦A♣ All in
Pedro Padilha: Q♠Q♣

It was a cooler as Padilha ran queens into Pannucci's aces, but the board came 7♥Q♥6♣J♦5♣, and Padilha flopped a set to take down the pot and eliminate Pannucci.
