Allen Scores Knockout with Queens

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After a player announced he was all in for 45,000, Kevin Allen decided on just a call, as there was action still behind him. After the last player eventually folded, the hands were tabled.

Opponent: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Kevin Allen: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} which meant Allen's pocket queens held and he chipped up as his opponent was eliminated from the tournament.

Zhang Flops a Set Against Oliver

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board of {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-} and around 41,000 in the pot.

Peng Zhang, the big blind, fired for 32,000, putting the pressure on Jack Oliver, who finished 3rd in the 2021 Main Event, who has been nursing a relatively small stack for most of Day 3. He eventually made the call, and Zhang showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a set of eights on the flop. Oliver mucked his cards and gave the pot to Zhang, leaving himself with less than 15 big blinds.

Conniff Takes Chips from Pantaleo

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a three-way pot, the flop showed {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the big blind checked to Giuseppe Pantaleo who bet 10,000. Asher Conniff called on the button and the big blind let it go.

The turn brought the {q-Clubs} and Pantaleo sent a bet of 33,000. After some thinking, Conniff made the call.

The river revealed the {k-Hearts} and this time they both checked. Pantaleo held {5-Spades}{4-Spades} and the pot was sent to Conniff who showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair.

Moneymaker Gets Dicey With Deuces

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker was enjoying a table massage and opened the action with a raise, then called a three-bet to 27,000 by Javier Gomez on the button. On a flop of {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Moneymaker check-raised from 22,000 to 58,000 and Gomez stuck around rather quickly.

The {3-Spades} followed on the turn and Moneymaker bet 80,000 for Gomez to call with around 170,000 behind. Both then checked the {9-Spades} on the river when a fourth spade appeared. Moneymaker rolled over the {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a pair of deuces, which Gomez had beat holding the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

"I was going to fire again if no spade came," the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion mentioned in the table chat.

Salas Loses Blind On Blind Battle

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to Damian Salas in the small blind, who opened to 11,000. The big blind called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Salas checked. His opponent led out for 15,000 but that was not enough to shed the 2020 WSOP Main Event winner, who called.

Salas checked for a second time on the {2-Diamonds} turn and folded after the big blind fired off 25,000. Despite losing that pot, Salas has enjoyed a successful Day 3 thus far after sitting down with just 32,900.

Allen Doubles Through Wang

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was some apparent table chat that Kevin Allen had been in the tank prior to calling all-in for 176,000 in a battle button versus big blind against Ying Wang. "I think that's the $10k Main Event, you gotta take some time to think about it," the Brit mentioned in table chat.

Ultimately, his {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} had flopped two pair while Wang's {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} had flopped the bottom two pair and turned a flush draw on {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} when the money went in. The {a-Clubs} river improved Allen to aces full of sixes and he scored the double-up.

Aces Bring Joy, Sorrow, Then Joy Again to Sabat

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Eddy Sabat
Eddy Sabat

There was a big preflop all in going on as two very similar stacks were battling preflop:

Daniel Youngblood: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Eddy Sabat: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Sabat was in good position to bust his slightly covered opponent. But the flop came {8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to suddenly make things look dire. The turn flipped the scales again as the {a-Clubs} crushed the hopes of Youngblood. The river came the {3-Spades} and Youngblood's elimination was confirmed when the dealer counted down the stacks.

Kings for Drake

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All the chip went in the middle preflop between Laury Vanlerberghe, at risk with a remaining stack worth less than 80,000 and Chandler Drake who had him covered:

Laury Vanlerberghe: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Chandler Drake: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Vanlerberghe couldn't find any miracle throughout the board {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and joined the rail while Drake racked up the chips.

Jolly Stays Quiet While Opponent Tanks

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brant Jolly opened from the cutoff and found a three-bet from his opponent in the cutoff to 24,000. Action folded back to Jolly who four-bet to 67,000. His opponent made the call with just under 200,000 behind.

The dealer put out the {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop. Jolly continued for a small bet of 28,000, which his opponent called.

The board paired with the {7-Clubs} turn. Jolly checked it to his opponent who checked behind.

On the {2-Clubs} river, Jolly moved a stack of chips into that middle that was enough to cover his opponent, 165,000 effective. His opponent thought for quite some time, tanking for about six minutes, apologizing for how long he was taking. At the end, he began to talk.

"Do you have it? Do you want me to call?" he asked Jolly.

Jolly remained stoic and silent. Finally, his opponent folded and Jolly took down the pot.
