Ruttler Puts Maximum Pressure

Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action started when William Pollard opened to 900,000 from the button and only Anthony Ruttler made the call in the big blind.

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} Ruttler started with a check and Pollard bet out 1,200,000. Ruttler check-raised to 3,000,000 which was quickly called.

The turn was the {q-Spades} and Ruttler jammed all in, covering the stack of Pollard. After much deliberation, Pollard laid down his hand and the pot was awarded to Ruttler.

"Nice Bluff," said Pollard after he folded.

Big Stacks Collide as Fangayen Busts

Jordan Pelon

Bayani Fangayen moved all in for 1,750,000 from early position. Action folded to chip leader Jordan Pelon in the small blind who called, as did fellow big stack Xiang Lin in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Pelon bet 2,250,000. Lin called to create a side pot as they saw the {a-Hearts} on the turn.

Both players checked as the {q-Clubs} fell on the river. Pelon this time bet 6,650,000 and Lin thought about the decision for a moment before folding.

The entire table gasped as Pelon turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for the turned full house as Fangayen showed {k-Spades}{6-Spades}.

"When did you like your hand?" a tablemate asked Pelon as his massive chip stack grew even larger.

In a pot of roughly 2,000,000 on a board of {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Romain Galendo check-called a bet of 1,200,000 in the big blind from Frank Pasquale on the button.

On the {k-Diamonds} river Galendo checked and Pasquale put the pressure on by shoving his stack in, covering his opponent. Galendo tanked for a minute but eventually made the fold, awarding the pot to Pasquale.

Choueiri Wakes Up With Kings to Triple

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jeremy Wing and Aaron Frei got all their chips in the middle as action folded to Patrick Choueiri, who also pushed all in for 4,800,000.

Wing had {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Frei {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, but Choueiri had found {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and was a big favorite to triple up.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Choueiri jumped out of his seat as his kings held up. He tripled, while Wing had Frei covered in the side pot to send him to the rail.

Action folded to Brian Weaver in the small blind who moved all in for 2,600,000. Evan Acker in the big blind went into the tank for a few minutes, taking off his cap and scratching his head, before eventually calling.

Brian Weaver: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Evan Acker: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Weaver paired his ace on the river to double up as he and Acker switched chip stacks.

"Way to go, Dream Weaver," his supporters yelled from the rail.

"I shouldn't be calling with this hand, but I guess I have to", said Bigelow before making the call with the covering stack.

Francis Figuereo: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Sean Bigelow: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} giving two-pair to Figuereo and the full double up.

Level 35 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

David Jackson, the last remaining bracelet winner in the field, called a three-bet from big blind Alon Guttman and went heads-up to a {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Guttman checked over to Jackson, who bet 2,000,000. Guttman called, then check-called another bet of 3,800,000 on the {6-Spades} turn.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and this time Guttman led out for 3,800,000. Jackson announced all in for around 13,000,000 more, sending Guttman into the tank for about two minutes before he released his hand.
