Cheung Takes First Bounty

Level 5 : 100/200, 50 ante

There was an all-in in front for around 4,000 and Robert Cheung was the only player to call.

Robert Cheung: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Cheung needed to hit and he found help straightaway on a {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. The {9-Clubs} turn brought a possible flush draw but the {8-Diamonds} river locked it up for Cheung.

Puchkov Sends Hellmuth to the Rail

Level 5 : 100/200, 50 ante

The board showed {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} and a player in early position bet 800. Phil Hellmuth called from the cutoff and so did Konstantin Puchkov on the button opponent.

The turn fell the {3-Diamonds} and action checked to Puchkov who then put in 3,500 and the initial raiser folded. Hellmuth called for his remaining 725 stack and the players were now heads-up and flipped over their hands.

Puchkov tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a flopped set and Hellmuth then showed {j-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush draw. Hellmuth would fail to get there as the river came the {5-Hearts}, giving Puchkov quads and sending Hellmuth on his way.

Jeff Gross Adds to His Stack

Level 5 : 100/200, 50 ante
Jeff Gross
Jeff Gross

Jeff Gross has tripled up his chips from starting stack. He just took a pot now that he opened under the gun and got three callers behind and one from the big blind.

The flop was {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Gross continued for 700. Only one player called and the turn came the {5-Spades}. Gross barreled for 900 this time his opponent called again.

Finally, the river was a {j-Clubs}. The action went check-check and Gross turned over {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}, which beat his opponent's holding of {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Closing in on Last Year's Total

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

In 2017, this tournament boasted a field of 1,927. So far today, we have had 1,922. There are still a few hours of late registration left so it shouldn't take long to reach and exceed last year's total.
