Berry Doubles Through Manole

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

The action folded to Will Berry who raised it up from the cutoff. Mihai Manole three-bet to 155,000 on the button which got both of the blinds to fold but Berry shipped all in for 544,000. Manole asked for a count and then called it off.

Will Berry: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Mihai Manole: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

It turned out that it was a coin flip but the flop of {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} left Berry in the lead. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn and the {3-Hearts} on the river improved Berry to a full house in order to double up.

Kessler Comes From Behind to Double

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Allen Kessler was all in pre-flop with the {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and in bad shape vs the {a-}{q-} of Vlastimil Pustina.

But the run out was good for Kessler as it came {9-}{5-}{10-}{5-}{k-} to give Kessler the big double up.

"Let's go chainsaw!" yelled a bystander as Kessler remains alive in the 2019 Main Event.

Maahs Gets Garz to Call

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

The board read {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} with just over 400,000 in the middle already.

Ap Garza was sitting in the tank after having checked from under the gun and Kevin Maahs bet 232,000 on the button. Garza contemplated his options for a while and ended up calling but mucked when he saw Maahs held {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the turned trip tens.

Gonzalez Scores Double Knockout

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Fabrizio Gonzalez
Fabrizio Gonzalez

Fabrizio Gonzalez raised to 52,000 from early position and David Goodman moved all-in from middle position. Jay Farber then moved all-in from the button for 200,000 and Gonzalez asked for counts before making the call and putting both players at risk.

Fabrizio Gonzalez: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Jay Farber: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
David Goodman: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board quickly ran out {6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} with Farber rapping his knuckles on the table as the river fell and the dealer yelled for a double payout, ending both Farber and Goodman's Main Event bids while Gonazalez enjoyed the returns from his rivered pair of aces and stacked his newly earned chips.

A Double for Meijer van Putten

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Pedro Marques opened the action from early position with a raise to 55,000 and Jasper Meijer van Putten called in the hijack as did Jeff Dumas in the big blind. Dumas led the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop for 50,000 to force a fold from Marques, but van Putten stuck around.

The {q-Spades} appeared on the turn and Dumas made it 150,000 to go, which prompted the jam of van Putten for 599,000. Dumas quickly called and they turned over the cards.

Jasper Meijer van Putten: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Jeff Dumas: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The {j-Clubs} river was the wrong paint card for Dumas as van Putten held up to double, leaving Dumas on a short stack.

Milliard-Feral Bluffs It All Off

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Julian Milliard-Feral
Julian Milliard-Feral

Julian Milliard-Feral was in the big blind facing a raise to 245,000 from small blind Daniel Charlton. Milliard-Feral put in calling chips and {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs} flopped. Charlton bet 175,000 and Milliard-Feral called. On the {a-Hearts} turn, Charlton check-called 350,000. When the {q-Spades} fell, he peeked at Milliard-Feral's remaining chips and checked. Milliard-Feral stuffed in his last 560,000.

"This is gonna be so sick if you have aces," Charlton mused as he flipped in a chip to call without needing any time to think, turning over {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for trips.

"You're good," Milliard-Feral said with a sigh, spinning his cards into the muck — the dealer revealed them as {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Brereton Loses Some to Garza

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Timothy Burt raised to 55,000 from under the gun and Luke Brereton called from the late position. Michael Pearson did the same from the hijack and so did Ap Garza in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}, both Garza and Burt checked but Brereton bet 8,000 which only Garza ended up calling.

The turn brought them the {2-Diamonds}, Garza quickly checked and Brereton continued with a bet of 185,000. Garza considered his options for a bit, cut out calling chips, and then put them in for the call.

They then both proceeded to check through the {8-Spades} on the river for Garza to pick up the pot with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the flopped pair of tens.
