Lappas and Bronshtein Chop it Up

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Hold'em

Charalampos Lappas open-jammed for 77,000 from late position and Yuval Bronshtein put him at risk, calling on the button.

Charalampos Lappas: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Yuval Bronshtein: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Lappas was in a dominating position but a {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} runout gave them both Broadway and they chopped the blinds and antes.

Double for Laidlaw

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

PLO

Jordan Polk raised to 10,000 and Daniel Laidlaw called in the big blind. Laidlaw led out the maximum when the {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} rolled out, having just 26,500 back. Polk set him all in and Laidlaw called his last 4,500.

Laidlaw: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Polk: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Laidlaw flopped a wrap and he binked right on the {7-Diamonds} turn. Polk spiked a flush draw but the {7-Clubs} river stayed with Laidlaw who doubled to 75,000.

Ho Cracks Turner's Aces

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hold'em

Kyle Ho opened to 8,000 from middle position and called off a 40,000 three-bet shove from Jon Turner on the button.

Jon Turner: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Kyle Ho: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Turner was in great shape to double but a king on a {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Ho some outs. The {q-Clubs} on the turn was one of them and the {j-Clubs} was of no help on the river, eliminating Turner in 36th place.

Hendrix Doubles with Jacks

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hold'em

We arrived when the dealer was verifying Adam Hendrix' stack and it became apparent that he just doubled through Kyle Ho in what looked like a preflop contest in which Hendrix presumably three-bet shoved over a raise from early position. Ho's hand was already in the muck by the time we arrived. He couldn't beat Hendrix's {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, good for the second nuts as the {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board rolled out.

Hendrix had 78,900 in his stack and took a large bite into Ho's stack, doubling to 166,300.

Bronshtein Jams on Wang

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hold'em

Michael Wang was in the small blind, check-calling 10,500 from hijack Yuval Bronshtein on the {7-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Bronshtein barrelled the {Q-Clubs} turn and Wang paid another 15,000. Wang changed his strategy when the {K-Diamonds} river hit the felt, leading with a bet. It looked like 42,000 but no count was needed as Bronshtein instantly shoved, prompting a fast fold from Wang.
