Jacqmin Advances Through Liu

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
JJ Liu
JJ Liu

Mathieu Jacqmin had JJ Liu short stacked and on the ropes since returning from dinner break. The last six hands they played Jacqmin kept the pressure on Liu, not letting her chip up in any questionable spots.

The last hand began when Jacqmin limped on the button and Liu checked. The flop came {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, Liu bet and Jacqmin called. The turn brought the {10-Clubs} and Liu put her last remaining chips in and Jacqmin called.

Liu tabled {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} and Jacqmin held {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Jacqmin had to dodge a king and nine to take the hand and ultimately the match. The river fell {4-Diamonds} and Jacqmin advanced to Day 3.

Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken

In what was likely our longest heads-up battle of the day, Dom Denotaristefani has advanced to the final table by defeating Team PokerStars Pro (Netherlands) Noah Boeken. The chip lead between the two went back and forth multiple times before Denotaristefani finally got him short and took him out.

On the final hand, Boeken was all in preflop with {k-Clubs}{2-Spades} against the {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} of Denotaristefani. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Boeken was out.

This will be Denotaristefani's third cash in Limit Hold'em events at this summer's WSOP and his second final table (he came fifth in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em World Championship).

We only have two matches left before we have all ten players set for the final table, it wont be long now!

Hal Lubarsky Loses Hard Fought Battle To Ari Engel

Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Hal Lubarsky, the first blind man to ever cash in a WSOP event, has been eliminated in heads-up play by Ari Engel.

Engel kept putting the pressure on Lubarsky and that with a mixture of a few big pots late had Lubarsky down to just 14,000 at the start of Level 18.

In the last hand, Lubarsky raised it up on the button and Engel called.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Engel put Lubarsky all in. Engel said, "I flopped the flush" showing {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} Lubarsky replied, "Well...I'm drawing" and he flipped over {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for two pair.

The turn and river came {2-Hearts} and {j-Clubs} and Lubarsky did not improve and was subsequently eliminated in second place.

Engel wins the last heads-up match of the day and fills out our final table of 10 players who will come back tomorrow to fight for the bracelet
