Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Chris Hunichen opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Jason Koon shoved all in for 850,000 on his left. Dan Zack four-bet to 1,500,000 from the big blind which got Hunichen to fold.

Jason Koon: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Dan Zack: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} with the ace in the window but the ten was right behind it. The {4-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to give Koon a flush draw but the {8-Diamonds} on the river was not enough to keep his tournament hopes alive.

Chris Hunichen: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Jason Koon: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Martin Kabrhel checked out of the big blind and Adrian Mateos bet 210,000 on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Kabrhel called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}.

"Now I have straight draw," said Kabrhel before checking. Mateos checked back. "Now [dealer], a small one. Two or four." The river was the {j-Spades}

"[Dealer] I like you, but you are the worst," said Kabrhel. "Half a million," he announced betting 500,000.

Mateos then raised in position to 1,875,000.

"Adrian king-ten special!" said Kabrhel loudly, with Jason Koon from the other table peering over at the hand. "Jason you need anything?" asked Kabrhel.

"I have to surrender and give the chips to my brother Adrian," said Kabrhel finally, before folding and leaning in to the Spaniard. "I give you chips and we did not make it obvious," he said with a smile causing tablemate Brandon Steven to burst out laughing.

Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs was down to just over six big blinds and he shoved all in for 980,000 in the cutoff. Sam Soverel was in the big blind and verified the count before calling.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Sam Soverel: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Ponakovs held the lead with his pocket sixes but Soverel picked up some more outs. The {a-Clubs} on the turn was one of them as Soverel improved to a pair of aces. The {9-Spades} on the river was not what Ponakovs needed and he headed to the exit.
