Guillaumot Puts Pressure as he Builds Massive Stack

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with about 200,000 in the middle, the board read {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the action checked to Robin Guillaumot and he announced all-in.

His opponent who had about 255,000 behind tanked for about a minute while staring down Guillaumot. Eventually, he folded and the pot was shipped to Guillaumot as he continues to build a massive stack well past the 1,000,000 mark.

Berry Knocks One Out; Wins Next One

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Will Berry
Will Berry

A player shoved for 72,000 in the cutoff and the action folded to Will Berry in the big blind. After a couple of seconds, he made the call.

Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Will Berry: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Berry had his opponent dominated with the eight-kicker and the board of {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} was a clean one for Berry to eliminate his opponent.

The following hand, Maria Ielo raised to 20,000 on the button and Will Berry three-bet to 65,000 in the small blind. The big blind quickly got out of the way before Ielo surrendered her hand too.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Cristinel Sandu happened to be the unlucky player to bubble in the first flight of this event.

As it was recalled to PokerNews, Allen Kessler open raised to 18,000 in the cutoff and Sandu went all in for less and they were heads up.

Allen Kessler: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Cristinel Sandu: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Sandu exclaimed, "No queens!", and Kessler mentioned that he was fine with that and that he didn't want to bust him.

The flop came out {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Sandu yelled out in disbelief and jumped out of his seat.

The turn and river cards were {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and sealed Sandu's fate.

Josh Palmer: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Evan Sandberg: {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, giving Palmer top pair and Sandberg picked up a gutshot straight draw. The {6-Diamonds} turn and {5-Diamonds} river were safe for Palmer as he doubled up on the bubble.

Juli Black: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Black was a huge favorite with her pocket queens and the board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades} as she collected the double.

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

Shai Zurr pushed all in preflop on the button for around 300,000. The small blind folded and the big blind called with his stack of 150,000.

Shai Zurr: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Zurr's pocket tens were good to take down the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
