Gold Gone; Liang Wins Cooler

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jamie Gold
Jamie Gold

Following a preflop raise, a call from the button and one from Gregory Liang in the small blind, Jamie Gold three-bet an additional 10,000 from the big. The original raiser folded and the button called before Liang made a four-bet to an additional 15,000.

Following some confusion between the exact amounts, Gold smooth-called, as did the button to see a {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. The action was checked round to see the {Q-Hearts} land on the turn and Liang move all in for over 50,000.

"I don't think I can fold!" announced Gold as he stood up.

"Holy s**t!" Holy s**t!" Gold added as he continued to deliberate.

"No way I can fold this hand!" finally stated Gold as he slid in his final 40,000 as the button player - who had been texting on his phone for the duration of the hand - open-folded {A-}{K-}.

Gold: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Liang: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

"F**k me!" screamed Gold repeatedly as he knew he was drawing dead.

The river landed the {A-Spades} and Gold continued to shake his head in disbelief before saying good luck to the remaining players before he left the tournament area.

Zhao Can't Get Opponent To Show

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Susie Zhao
Susie Zhao

We were approaching Susie Zhao's table when we saw a player raise to 2,200 from the cutoff. Zhao was next to act and she reraised to 4,700. Action folded around and the player called.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Zhao stared down her opponent as it fell. The player in the cutoff checked. Zhao checked behind. Both players checked again on the {Q-Hearts} turn.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and the player in the cutoff bet out 11,000. Zhao went into the tank.

"Will you show if i fold?" Zhao asked, to which the player shook his head. "No? You won't show?"

Zhao continue to press her luck with her opponent, trying to get any information she could from him. "How about just one?" she asked. "Can I see one? Not even one? Let me pick one?" Again the player shook his head.

Eventually, Zhao gave up her assault and folded her hand. The other player never showed his hand.

Stout Lets it Go

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Matt Stout three-bet to 5,500 after a player in early position raised to 2,200. Everyone else folded, and the original raiser called. The flop came {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Stout once more bet 5,500 when checked to. The player called, and the turn was the {2-Spades}. Stout fired 11,000 this time, but his opponent woke up with a check-raise to put Stout all in. After counting out his stack and thinking for about a minute, Stout released his hand.

Hershler Takes Out Odeh

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The hand started with Eric Hershler opening to 2,200 from under the gun, as the action folded around to Michael Odeh in the cutoff. He raised it up to 5,400, and was called.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, as both players decided to check. The {5-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Hershler bet out 8,000, which was called. The {8-Diamonds} completed the board, before Hershler quickly moved all in for his last 49,200 in chips.

The bet took Odeh by surprise, as he stood up from his chair. He took a drink of water, and put his hands in his pocket, as he tanked for several minutes.

“You have pocket eights?” asked Odeh, as Hershler sat there in silence. Odeh then pulled a bag from under the table, and started placing his phone and headphones inside.

“I am getting ready to go home,” said Odeh. “If you got me, you got me,” he added.

Odeh then made the call, before tabling his {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for trip kings. Hershler then slammed down his {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a full house, awarding him the hand, as Odeh was sent to the rail.

Check Raise Works For Collins

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught up to Phil Collins on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Diamonds} in a three-way pot. Collins had checked from the big blind. The next player to act led out for 3,400. Another player called the bet before Collins raised to 11,500. The original raiser folded but the player who called the first bet called again.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and Collins led for 15,500. The other player in the hand thought about it for nearly two minutes before finally folding his hand. Collins moved to right around 120,000 in chips after the hand.

Break Time; Mizrachi Still Leads, Gold Gone in Cooler

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

The penultimate level of the night is over and the remaining Day 2c players are heading on a 20-minute break.

Level nine began a little slower then usual with players adjusting back into the swing of things following a long dinner break. Ebony Kenney and Amal Bounahra led the casualties while Jason Mercier, Eric Baldwin, Joseph Cheong and Pieter de Korver were also found on the rail.

However it would be husband and wife combo Laura Green and Scott Born that may have some words to exchange to each other as Born managed to double through Green and another player to stay alive when he rivered Broadway.

Just as the final few hands were about to be dealt, Jamie Gold was involved in a cooler hand when he turned a straight with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} only to run into a turned full house by Gregory Liang. Gold let off a series of profanities before making his way to the rail to leave the Main Event short of another previous Champion.

The same tale of chip leaders would hold true throughout the level, and although both Michael Mizrachi and Mark Kroon would relinquish some chips, they both would sit up top with Mizrachi having around 440,000 and Kroon sitting with 400,000.
