Pan Chips Up; Saechao Vanishes

Level 15
Kao Saechao
Kao Saechao

Omaha Hi-Lo

Andrew Kelsall called bets by Qinghai Pan throughout a {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board and was shown the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{x-} by Pan for the queen-high flush. That won the pot and Pan chipped up.

However, soon after he was no longer the chip leader at the table as Colleen Long surpassed her table neighbour. Kao "Flexx" Saechao was nowhere to be found and Long recalled the final hand of the Day 1 chip leader, who three-bet jammed with ace-queen right into the pocket aces of Long.

Gerhart Stays Afloat

Level 15

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Kevin Gerhart patted the final draw and so did Robert Mizrachi. No further chips were invested by either player and Gerhart tabled a {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-}{3-}{2-}. "Not a flush," he said as the hand contained four hearts and one diamond.

Mizrachi nodded and sent his cards into the muck.

O'Dell Chops With Williams

Level 15

Stud Hi-Lo

Frankie O'Dell: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} / {x-}
Jonathan Williams: {x-}{x-} / {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs} / {x-}

Frankie O'Dell checked fifth street and Jonathan Williams checked behind. Sixth street brought a check-call by O'Dell and he then said "go ahead" to Williams, indicating that he also checked seventh. Williams bet and O'Dell called to get shown {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of aces and an eight low. O'Dell won the high pot with the {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} for nines and sevens and they chopped it up.

Dzivielevski More than Doubles

Level 16

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Nicholas Julia raised to 11,000 in an early position and was called by Paul Holder in the cutoff, table short stack Yuri Dzivielevski called out of the big blind. Julia took two cards, Holder patted and Dzivielevski drew one. The Brazilian then jammed for 11,500 and Julia folded while Holder called.

Dzivielevski tabled a {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{3-} and Holder mucked a ten.

Lewis Busts Funkhouser; Doubles Woodward

Level 16

Razz

Toby Lewis: {a-}{3-} / {2-}{7-}{a-}{9-} / {2-}
David Funkhouser: {5-}{3-} / {k-}{9-}{5-}{10-} / {6-}

David Funkhouser was the bring-in but moved all-in for 7,000 and Toby Lewis had already completed by then for the full 8,000. The floor was called and the situation was explained. Lewis was then given the options to call the 7,000 or raise and he opted for the latter to force out all other players at the table. Lewis made a nine-seven perfect until sixth and Funkhouser was drawing dead.

Pot-Limit Omaha

The game variant changed in the next hand and Lewis raised the pot in the small blind, then called the all-in of Matthew Woodward for 40,500 total.

Matthew Woodward: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Toby Lewis: {a-}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

On a board of {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Woodward doubled and Lewis was left with his head shaking.

Ho Gets the Fold from Rast

Level 16
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Pot-Limit Omaha

The hand was discovered on a completed board of {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Maria Ho fired out a bet of 135,000 chips and that covered her opponent Brian Rast. This sent Rast deep into the tank. He eventually opted to fold, and Ho was pushed the pot and chipped up to 490,000.

Williams Doubles Through Kihara

Level 16

No-Limit Hold'em

Jonathan Williams moved all-in for 24,500 from under the gun and all opponents but one folded. "You are ahead," Naoya Kihara in the big blind said and then made the call.

Jonathan Williams: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Naoya Kihara: {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board gave Williams a straight and he doubled.

The Money Bubble is Looming

Level 16
Toby Lewis
Toby Lewis

Pot-Limit Omaha

The cards were already exposed as Toby Lewis got his chips in before the flop and was looked up by Matt Szymaszek. Lewis had the hand over his cards as he witnessed the board running out {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Szymaszek rivered broadway with {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} to earn the pot.

Lewis grabbed his cards and tossed them into the muck before storming out of the tournament area. Shortly after, Brandon Bergin and Yuri Dzivielevski were eliminated to reduce the field to the final 51 contenders.

Kelsall Takes From Pan

Level 16

Stud Hi-Lo

Qinghai Pan: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs} / {x-}
Andrew Kelsall: {x-}{x-} / {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} / {x-}

Andrew Kelsall faced a bet by Qinghai Pan on sixth when the latter had made a pair of aces and he called with a pair of sevens, which he had already picked up on fourth. Pan then bet seventh and Kelsall raised for Pan to call. Kelsall tabled the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for sevens full of fives and that won a very healthy pot.

In the meanwhile, Brian Rast was eliminated on another table to reduce the field to the last 50 players and 48 will make the money.
