Cowen Wakes Up with Aces to End Shing's Main Event

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Philip Shing
Philip Shing

A series of preflop raises saw Philip Shing get his 1.3 million stack in the middle and Robert Cowen called from the big blind.

Philip Shing: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Robert Cowen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Shing's made hand of queens was well behind the pocket rockets of Cowen and the {8-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} runout provided no help to Shing as it ended his Main Event.

Fuchs Eliminated by Imsirovic

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Salko Imsirovic
Salko Imsirovic

The near identical stacks of Salko Imsirovic and Florian Fuchs went into the middle preflop to create the following all-in showdown.

Florian Fuchs: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Salko Imsirovic: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Fuchs was left in dire shape and picked up some back door equity on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. However, the {a-Clubs} turn instantly left him drawing dead and the {3-Diamonds} river was a mere formality. Both stacks were counted and Fuchs had exactly one million, which Imsirovic had covered by a mere 10,000 in chips.

Marle Cordeiro

Another level has passed by on Day 5 and the players are heading on another 30-minute break. There are currently 195 players still remaining so here's a look at what happened in the previous level:

Dwek Goes Back-to-Back

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jonathan Dwek
Jonathan Dwek

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Jonathan Dwek just flat-called on his left. Aristeidis Moschonas was in the hijack and shipped all in for 740,000. Kiriopoulos asked for a count but decided to fold and Dwek instantly called.

Aristeidis Moschonas: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Jonathan Dwek: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Dwek's pair of tens held on to eliminate Moschonas.

"Back-to-back," Heng Zhang mentioned. Dwek had just eliminated Andy Li in the hand before that.

Daniel Weinman
Daniel Weinman

Daniel Weinman was just whittled down to his last 300,000 chips and woke up with a premium hand. He got all of his chips in the middle preflop and was up against Chase Binachi.

Daniel Weinman: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Chase Bianchi: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Bianchi spiked an ace to take the lead. Weinman picked up a flush draw on the {3-Clubs} turn but the {6-Diamonds} on the river ended Weinman's run.

Breno Campelo
Breno Campelo

Breno Silva opened to 80,000 in late position and Robert Feathers defended from the big blind.

Silva bet 80,000 on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and called when Feathers raised to 240,000. Feathers checked on the {k-Diamonds} turn and Silva bet 625,000. Feathers raised all-in for 1,750,000 and Silva called.

Robert Feathers: {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Breno Silva: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Feathers had a pair and a flush draw against the set of Silva and needed a club to stay alive. Instead, the river brought {5-Diamonds} and the rail erupted as Silva made quads to eliminate Feathers.
