Srinivasan Finds a Favourable Board

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Shyam Srinivasan opened and got three calls, one behind and two in the blinds.

On the {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop, Srinivasan continued for 50,000 and only Justin Zaki wanted to play. The {3-Diamonds} turn saw both players check and on the {k-Spades} river, Zaki checked for the last time. It was Srinivasan bet 140,000 and Zaki said "I have to call that" as he put in the chips. He showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} but it couldn't beat Srinivasan' {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

Timur Margolin Eliminated in 17th Place ($11,942)

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Timur Margolin

Jayaram Kovoorchathoth raised to 27,000 and Heng Zhang called. Timur Margolin three-bet to 98,000 from the button and Lanny Levine four-bet all in from the button. Kovoorchathoth and Zhang both folded and Margolin made the call.

Lanny Levine: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Timur Margolin: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The 2018 bracelet-winner was ahead, but not for long as the {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop gave his opponent top pair. The turn {4-Spades} gave him a flush draw, but the river {7-Clubs} meant he was sent to the exit.

"You did say if you made it to Day 3 you were going to win this thing!" John Pannucci said to Levine as he raked his chips in.

"I know," replied Levine, "And I meant it!"

Juan Testoni Eliminated in 18th Place ($11,942)

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Juan Testoni
Juan Testoni

It was a three-way all-in situation that began with a limp from short stack Nathan Nguyen. It was followed by a raise by Kfir Nahum and all-in from Juan Testoni who was also short. Nguyen got it in, as did Nahum and they turned their cards on their backs.

Nathan Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Kfir Nahum: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Juan Testoni: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Despite the {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} runout bringing a gutshot on the flop for Nahum and a flush draw on the turn for Testoni, Nguyen faded it all and scooped a triple. Testoni had to make his way to the payouts desk and Nahum still has over 30 big blinds in play.

Timur Margolin
Timur Margolin

The action was on the turn and Timur Margolin had been checked to by Kfir Nahum. Margolin made it 76,000 and Nahum went all-in for 324,000. It was deep into the tank for Margolin who said "I have a really good hand..."

After mulling it over for a few minutes, he folded face up, showing {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Nahum offered him one card to see and Margolin picked the {q-Hearts}. Both players are evenly stacked after that hand.
