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

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:
Middle Position:
Big Blind:

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

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

Matt O'Halloran

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

The pot had already grown to 81,000 before the 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 turn. The big blind moved all in and Matsuzuki snap called with his opponent covered.

Opponent:
Dan Matsuzuki:

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 on the river changed neither player's hand. Matsuzuki scooped the pot as his opponent was sent to the rail.

Labat Is Cruising

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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

Antoine Labat currently has a lot of chips in front of him, more than 600,000. It was not about one hand, but rather the 2018 Main Event finalist busted lots of players.

"What can I say? For example, one player shoved with A-2 when I had sevens in the big blind, easy call. Another player called my three-bet preflop then jammed on a nine-high board with A-J when I had aces... I can't complain for now, my run is pretty hot," he said.
