Stewart Departs From the Feature Table; Kim Above 10 Million

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jiwoon Kim
Jiwoon Kim

Jarred Solomon opened to 130,000 and Jiwoon Kim called on the button, as did Antonio Esfandiari in the small blind. Casey Stewart in the big blind raised to 660,000 and that was called by Kim only.

They checked through a flop of {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the {2-Diamonds} turn saw a check of Stewart, a bet of 600,000 by Kim and a call.

On the {8-Spades} river, Stewart check-called another bet of 800,000 and Kim tabled {j-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a queen-high straight to win the pot.

Shortly after, Stewart three-bet all in for 1,200,000 in the small blind and initial raiser Esfandiari made the call.

Casey Stewart: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Antonio Esfandiari: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop gave Esfandiari top set and the {4-Spades} turn and {2-Clubs} river were a formality.

Right after, Kim amped up the aggression some more and four-bet to 1,000,000 versus Esfandiari, who folded and was shown an ace-king.

More Chip Counts

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Le Busted on a Beat

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nghia Le got all his chips in from the button, about 1.1 million, with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and was in good shape against the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of big blind Vitalijs Zavorotnijs. The {6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop was good by Le, but the {a-Hearts} had him cursing softly. The {8-Diamonds} river failed to save him.

Sly Disappointed Not to Be Called

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ivonir Bento checked in early position with {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} on the felt. There was about 1 million in the pot and Christopher Sly shoved all in from the button. The count was just a hair over 1.5 million and Bento went deep enough into the tank that someone called a clock. He let his time go all the way down without acting, so his cards were forfeit.

"Ten-nine?" he asked.

"I'll show," Sly said, flicking {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} into the middle for a set.

Pidun Doubles Through Smaron

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Kenny Smaron raised it up from middle position and Thomer Pidun defended from the big blind. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Pidun checked to Smaron who tossed in a continuation bet. Pidun check-raised all in for 1,060,000 and Smaron called.

Thomer Pidun: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Kenny Smaron: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Smaron flopped top pair but Pidun had a flush draw. The {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Pidun completed his flush, although it wasn't over yet. Pidun dodged another diamond with the {q-Spades} on the river and secured himself a double up.

Dzivielevski Back Up on Secondary Feature

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 125,000 and was called only by Michael Kapernaros in the big blind. They checked the {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop and Kapernaros bet the {5-Clubs} turn for 75,000, which Dzivielevski called.

Kapernaros bet big on the {q-Spades} river for 375,000 and Dzivielevski looked him up to get shown {5-}{4-}, which he had beat with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Chip Counts from Table 493

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Matthew McEwan Eliminated

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Matthew McEwan began the day with about 2.8 million in chips, but unfortunately was too ill to play today. He left the tournament in the final level yesterday on Day 4 and went to the hospital, and has been there ever since.

After more than four-and-a-half levels on Day 5, McEwan's stack was anted and blinded to 0, ending his Main Event in 129th place for $59,295.

Marinelli Eliminated by Boning

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Lars Bonding raised to 140,000 in the hijack and Dario Marinelli jammed for the last 835,000 in the small blind, which Bonding quickly called.

Dario Marinelli: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Lars Bonding: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop changed nothing whatsoever, and Marinelli's Main Event run came to an end as soon as the {k-Hearts} hit the turn. The meaningless {a-Diamonds} river completed the board and Marinelli headed to the payout desk.
