Lee Doubles Through Hutter

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

There was a raise to 55,000 from early position before Richard Lee three-bet to 150,000. Barry Hutter was next to act and he made it 300,000. Action folded around back to Lee who moved all in for 18,000 more and Hutter quickly called.

Barry Hutter: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Richard Lee: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and that meant that Lee would double up with his pair of kings, moving back to 675,000 while Hutter has dropped from where he started the day to just under 4.5 million.

Two for Esfandiari; Petitti Eliminated

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Antonio Esfandiari opened to 62,000 from middle position and was called by Martin Sejer in the cutoff. Cory Williams was on the button and three-bet to 142,000. With the action back on Esfandiari, he four-bet shoved all in for 1,073,000. Sejer quickly folded and Williams went into the tank.

"That's a good sign," Esfandiari said, but then quickly went into a still pose. After a couple of minutes, Williams folded his hand but briefly showed Sejer to his right.

"What? No way!" Sejer exclaimed. After some discussion around the table, Sejer confirmed that Williams folded pocket queens.

In the next hand, Esfandiari raised to 51,000 again and Nicholas Petitti shipped all in for 181,000. Esfandiari quickly called and tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} against Petitti's {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The board ran out {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Esfandiari eliminated Petitti with a pair of aces.

Jaime Kaplan
Jaime Kaplan

The action folded to Jaime Kaplan on the button, and he raised to 55,000. Andres Jeckeln three-bet to 202,000 from the small blind, and once the big blind passed, Kaplan four-bet to 525,000.

Jeckeln called, and the dealer spread a {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and both players checked.

The turn landed the {2-Diamonds} and after another Jeckeln check, Kaplan pushed out a bet of 325,000. Jeckeln called, and when the river of the {6-Spades} completed the board, Jeckeln checked for a third time.

Kaplan took a moment, and then pushed out three stacks of chips to amount to a bet of 750,000 total.

Jeckeln went deep into the tank before eventually making the call.

Kaplan revealed his {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} for quads, and Jeckeln mucked.

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

After calling off most of her stack in the previous hand, Yashuo Chin got the rest of her chips in there good with {a-}{q-} against the {a-}{j-} of Tomas Novotny. Unfortunately for her, the flop contained a jack and the turn another, so she headed to payouts.

Barrell Doubles Through Chin

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Yashuo Chin was in the tank when we got to her table, facing an all-in shove from small blind Mason Barrell for 369,000. The board read {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the pot contained about 750,000. Chin tanked for several minutes and compiled calling chips but continued to think. Eventually, she stuck them in but her {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} was inferior to Barrell's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for kings up.

Ben Yu: {K-}{K-}
Ludovic Geilich: {A-}{K-}

The board ran out {Q-}{10-}{2-}{3-}{2-} and that meant that Yu's kings would hold up, giving him the big pot and pushing him to nearly three million in chips while Geilich hit the rail.
