One for Jumakov

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Tleuzhan Jumakov raised from late position to 16,000 and Athanasios Polychronopoulos called in the small blind, David Randall three-bet to 40,000 in the big blind. Both opponents called to see the {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop that was checked through. The {Q-Clubs} turn delivered no action either, then Jumakov bet the {4-Diamonds} river to scoop the pot.

17 Out in 17 Minutes

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

An early massacre here as the screens only show 161 players left, meaning we have lost 17 players in as many minutes.

The latest casualty was caused by Andrew Teng who increased his stack to 385,000 in the process. Teng raised with {7-}{7-} then called the all-in of Russell Spaid, who held {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. A queen-high board without hit for either player saw the Brit rake in the chips.

Thompson Gets Double Knockout

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The dealer called out “all in” as Christopher Hyden pushed in his stack in middle position. Amir Lehavot called with a small stack on his left, and Christopher Thompson wasted no time pushing over the top in the small blind.

Christopher Hyden: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Amir Lehavot: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Christopher Thompson: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Thompson’s big pair held on the {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} board and Hyden and Lehavot were sent to the cashier after a very short Day 3.

Lauren Billings Eliminated

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Lauren Billings started the day as one of the shortest stacks and looked down at {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and decided to move all in. She was called by James Mackey who held {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The board would run out {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Mackey's full house was more than enough to send Billings to the rail.

Meanwhile over at Table 439 there was a four-way all in on the very first hand. Two players held ace-king and the other two pocket queens. The board would run dry and the two with ladies would split the pot.

Kessler Misses a Draw

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We found Allen Kessler facing a river bet of 75,000 from a single opponent on a board of {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Kessler turned {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} face up, saying he was glad all of the money didn't go in on the flop. He mucked his hand.

First Seat Open after 30 Seconds

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

It didn't take long for the first short stack to move all in. After a raise from Carmen Evola, Pfizer Jordan three-bet shoved for 62,000 and Evola called. Jordan had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Evola {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and the board ran out {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to end Jordan's tournament.

Only moments later Kenny Hsiung, who only had a few thousand chips more, was also eliminated as well on Table 442.
