Matsuzuki Turns Broadway to Bust Set of Kings

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The pot had already grown to 81,000 before the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, when heads-up action was joined.

Dan Matsuzuki fired for 25,000 from the big blind, getting a call late position. Matsuzuki continued for another 40,000 on the {q-Hearts} turn. The big blind moved all in and Matsuzuki snap called with his opponent covered.

Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Dan Matsuzuki: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The opponent had flopped top set, but that was no good against the straight of Matsuzuki, who just needed to fade the board pairing on the river, which would give his opponent a full house or quads. He did so successfully, as the {9-Diamonds} on the river changed neither player's hand. Matsuzuki scooped the pot as his opponent was sent to the rail.

Sinishtaj Goes Runner-Runner to Triple Up

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tony Sinishtaj
Tony Sinishtaj

Tony Sinishtaj open-shoved a short stack from under the gun and a player in middle position re-shoved behind him. The action folded to the big blind, who called.

Tony Sinishtaj: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Middle Position: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

"Great spot!" commented Michael Lech as he saw Sinishtaj's opponents were sharing each other's outs.

Nonetheless, the flop came {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} to bring an ace and have Sinishtaj drawing thin. The {j-Spades} on the turn gave him life and the {j-Diamonds} on the river gave him trips to secure him an unlikely triple-up, while his opponent's chopped up the side pot.

Izadi Could Not Beat Kings For Okin

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a raise from a player in early position, Hamid Izadi announced all in for 94,000. Action folded to Zach Okin in the big blind and he reshoved over the top. The original raiser folded.

Hamid Izadi: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Zach Okin: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Izadi ran into kings, and after a {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs} board, he was eliminated.

Assorted Chip Counts

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Yuan's Jacks Deliver Knockout Blow to Soma

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Leo Soma open jammed from early position for his final 45,000. He got one caller, Ye Yuan in the cutoff, who had Soma covered.

Leo Soma: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Ye Yuan: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Soma would need considerable help to keep his pursuit of his second bracelet of the summer alive, but that help would never come on the {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} runout, sending Soma to the rail.

D'Ambrosio Shoves Turn

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jimmy D'Ambrosio was in a four-way pot on a board reading {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

D'Ambrosio put out a flop bet of 20,000 and only one opponent called. The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and the opponent checked.

"Felix, I like you. I'm all in," D'Ambrosio said before putting out a stack of chips. "It's more than 100,000."

The opponent thought for a moment and folded.

An orbit or so earlier, D'Ambrosio challenged table mate Christian Soto to a heads-up battle.

Kenney Unlucky On The Turn

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ebony Kenney
Ebony Kenney

Three players went to the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop. Raul Celaya checked from the blind, the original raiser in late position also checked, and Ebony Kenney bet 15,000 from the button. Celaya snap-called and the last player folded.

It was two players to the {4-Diamonds} turn and this time, after a check from Celaya, Kenney announced all in. Celaya snap-called.

Raul Celaya: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Eboney Kenney: {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Celaya found trips fours on the turn, while Kenney made top pair on the flop. The {3-Diamonds} river did not change anything, Kenney lost that pot, and Celaya doubled up.

Marchington Doubles Up

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Marchington
Nick Marchington

Action was picked up as the under-the-gun player called the all-in jam from Nick Marchington for the effective stack of 45,000.

Nick Marchington: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Marchington was ahead with the better pocket pair, and the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} runout did nothing to change that. He scooped the pot and doubled his stack.
