Kang Needs a Six to Double Up

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

Ehsan Amiri opened to 125,000 in early position and was called by Jacob Millstein in the cutoff. Hogyun Kang moved all in for 420,000 in the big blind which got called by Amiri. Millstein thought for a minute before deciding to fold and the cards were tabled.

Hogyun Kang: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Ehsan Amiri: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and despite Amiri flopping a pair of kings, Kang made a set of sixes. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn left Amiri drawing dead to the {k-Spades} on the river and Kang doubled through.

Big Slick Keeps Ragozzini in the Main

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

Jake Tootle raised to 120,000 from early position and then called the 1,3250,000 three-bet jam Sean Ragozzini made from the small blind.

Sean Ragozzini: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Jake Toole: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Ragozzini had Toole dominated and the {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop did pair his king but it also gave Toole a Broadway draw.

Luckily for Ragozzini, the board double paired with the {10-Hearts} turn and the {7-Clubs} to secured his double-up.

Strehl Loses All to Lonis

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

Jesse Lonis raised to 130,000 from the middle position and Christoph Strehl three-bet jammed from the button for 645,000. The blinds folded and Lonis called after finding out how much the shove was for.

Christoph Strehl: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Jesse Lonis: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for Lonis to stay ahead and even improve to a flush on the turn to eliminate Strehl from the Main Event.

Burt Runs Into Rockets

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

Tim Burt got the rest of his 500,000 or so chips in preflop and was at risk of elimination against Yaniv Peretz.

Tim Burt: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Yaniv Peretz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Burt was on the brink of elimination and needed to improve, and he did indeed improve to two pair on the {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, Peretz made a set. Drawing even slimmer now, the {4-Spades} and {k-Hearts} completed the board to send the pot to Peretz.

"I made a full house," Burt noted as he chuckled to himself and made his exit from the tournament.

Nicholas Rigby opened to 130,000 and Robert Mitchell flat-called on the button, while Norbert Koh defended in the small blind and David Cabrera defended in the big blind.

Lahmani's Roller Coaster Ride Ends

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

Down to what appeared to be fewer than 300,000, Oshri Lahmani got it in before the flop and was looked up by Matija Dobric.

Oshri Lahmani: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Matija Dobric: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop gave Dobric the top two pair while Lahmani had bottom pair and a straight draw. Nothing changed with the {7-Clubs} turn and the {j-Spades} river was too little too late for Lahmani.

Connelly Eliminated by Bianchi; Veksler Follows to the Rail

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

Down to the last couple of big blinds, Jacob Connelly jammed from an early position and was looked up by Chase Bianchi from one seat over.

Jacob Connelly: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Chase Bianchi: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts} board provided no help to the dominated pair and Connelly headed to the payout desk.

Only two minutes later, Pavlo Veksler joined him there after three-bet jamming pocket sevens. Nicolas Vayssieres took the flip with ace-jack and hit a jack on the board to reduce the field further.

Live by the River, Die by the River

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

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos and Oshri Lahmani got all of their chips in the middle preflop with Lahmani at risk for 690,000. Kiriopoulos held {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and was up against the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} of Lahmani.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Lahmani spiked an ace on the river to score a double up.

Just a couple of hands later, Lahmani got his chips in the middle again but it was Michael Nugent at risk this time for 1,410,000. Lahmani had the best of it with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against Nugent's {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

The flop came {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Lahmani was looking like he would increase his stack again. The {8-Spades} on the turn changed nothing but the {q-Spades} on the river gave Nugent a set of queens, leaving Lahmani on crumbs.

Coleman Hooks the River for Double

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

There was all in action between Tim Burt from the button and David Coleman from the small blind with Coleman's 1,085,000 stack at risk.

David Coleman: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Tim Burt: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Coleman was dominated and the {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop didn't change a thing.

The {q-Hearts} paired the board on the turn and just as Coleman was getting ready to make his exit, the dealer dropped the {j-Spades} on the river, keeping his Main Event hopes alive.
