Loucas Making a Comeback

Tyler Foran
Tyler Foran
Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Christian Loucas had lost the majority of his chips when he and Brian Gatliff had pocket queens and Gatliff ran out a four-card flush to scoop the pot. Gatliff was kind enough to buy him a beverage though for the suck-out.

Loucas was right back in the action though as his last 90,000 in chips were at risk against Julien Perouse.

Christian Loucas: A♣7♣
Julien Perouse: K♥K♠

Loucas had run into a monster but the A♥Q♠Q♥ flop gave him the lead. The 5♦ landed on the turn and the A♠ on the river filled Loucas to a full house to remain in the tournament.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Katelin Koper's raise from middle position found Christopher Zenonos in the big blind who raised the bet up to 165,000. Koper soon four-bet to 350,000 and Zenonos called brewing a massive pot as both players see a flop of Q♥J♥2♥.

Despite the bold action pre-flop, this particular board had both players check through to a turn, the 10♥ now putting a four-flush on the board. Zenonos checked to Koper who open-jammed for her last 351,000. Zenonos called and the cards were tabled.

Katelin Koper: A♥A♠
Christopher Zenonos: A♣K♠

Both players out of their seats, the river could no longer save Zenonos against Koper's nut flush and left him with crumbs.

The player in the hijack started the hand by limping in. Brent Gregory raised the bet to 55,000, Andrew Lawton cold-called out the big blind and the hijack came along to a flop of K♦3♥2♣.

The hand checked through to the 10♣. Lawton seized the opportunity to take the betting lead and fired out 75,000. The hijack folded while Gregory raised to 475,000 putting Lawton all in.

After minutes in the tank Lawton announced "You put me in a tough spot here" before eventually hero-calling for his tournament life.

Andrew Lawton: K♠Q♠
Brent Gregory: A♣4♣

The 5♠ fell on the river marking the end of Lawton's deep run.
