Moon Bubbles with Nines

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jason Smith raised to 13,000 in early position and it folded to Chris Moon in the big blind with not much more. After having a "tough time deciding" according to players at his table, he ultimately decided to put in his stack of 21,000 chips, which was called by Smith.

Chris Moon: {9-}{9-}
Jason Smith: {a-}{10-}

The players were flipping and the {10-}{3-}{a-} flop vaulted Smith into the lead. The turn was a {4-}, and with Moon needing a river nine to avoid being the bubble boy, it was not to be as the {8-} completed the board and the remaining 63 players are now in the money.

Kim Calls All-in With Third Pair

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Kim bet 14,000 on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and the player next to act called. Both players checked the {4-Spades} on the turn.

On the {8-Hearts} river, Kim checked again and his opponent shoved for his last 64,000.

Kim thought about it for a minute calling with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a pair of sevens. His opponent could only show {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for ace-high and was sent home two spots short of the money.

"Nice call, man," another player at the table told Kim after the hand.

Tzumaedes Flops Set to Stay Alive

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Robert Tzumaedes shoved from early position for about 20,000 and the player in the cutoff called as everyone else folded.

Robert Tzumaedes: {7-}{7-}
Cutoff Player: {a-}{j-}

Tzumaedes was flipping but basically sealed the win on the {9-}{7-}{4-} flop. The {3-}{a-} completed the board and he took the pot.

Morris Brings the Field One Closer to the Money

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

According to Kyle Morris, the player under the gun went all in for his last 51,000 with {a-}{k-}. Morris called with {j-}{j-} and had his opponent drawing dead by the turn as the board ran out {j-}{4-}{q-}{q-}{9-} to give him a full house.

Morris improved his stack to 230,000 with that pot.

Jenkins Doubles with Ladies

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to the player in the hijack who raised to 15,000 and Annabelle Jenkins shoved her stack of 37,000 into the middle from the small blind. The hijack player called and hands were revealed.

Annabelle Jenkins: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Hijack Player: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Jenkins was ahead but needed to hold. The flop was {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The turn was the {8-Hearts} giving her opponent straight draws, but the harmless {j-Diamonds} completed the board to give her a double.

Lamers Sends One Home Short of the Money

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Adam Lamers
Adam Lamers

On the first hand back from break, the player in the cutoff put his last 66,000 in the middle and Adam Lamers, who finished fifth in this event in 2019, called.

The all-in player showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and had to win a coin flip against the {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} of Lamers. He was in good shape when the board came out {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}, but the {a-Diamonds} on the river spelled doom for his tournament life.
