Weisman More Than Doubles

Christian Zetzsche

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

Bryce Yockey opened to 30,000 and Dylan Weisman potted to 108,000 in the hijack. Rob Hollink cold-called on the button and Yockey came along after eyeballing both stacks. Yockey checked the Q♠10♣8♠ flop and then folded when Weisman and Hollink moved all-in.

Dylan Weisman: A♠K♦Q♦J♠
Rob Hollink: Q♥9♣7♣5♥

The 8♦ turn and 6♠ river completed the board and Weisman doubled for 126,000 to leave Hollink short.

"I would have won, eights full of sixes," Yockey mentioned.

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

Isaac Kempton was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and his chips were sent over to Tong Li.

All cards were still exposed as Kempton's A♣Q♦10♣5♦ for a full wrap on the K♠J♣8♦ flop came up blank with the 6♦ turn and 2♠ river runout. Li had the winning hand with Q♣J♥10♥4♣ for a pair of jacks to score the knockout and become the next chip millionaire.

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

Yong Keun Kwon, Conrad De Armas, and Dan Zack each put in around 80,000 heading to the A♣J♠6♠ flop where De Armas bet 75,000.

Zack folded, but Kwon then moved all in on the button for around 350,000. De Armas snap-called.

Yong Keun Kwon: A♠K♣K♠8♣
Conrad De Armas: J♣9♠8♠7♣

Kwon was ahead with his pair of aces but needed to dodge De Armas' flush draw. The Q♣ turn kept him in front, but the 7♥ fell on the river and De Armas improved to two pair to eliminate Kwon and move into contention for the tournament chip lead on the last level of the night.

Shaun Deeb min-raised just before the blinds went up and Noah Schwartz called from one seat over in the cutoff. Tomas Ribeiro reraised the pot to 95,000 on the button. It folded back to Deeb who made it 225,000 to go. Schwartz folded and Ribeiro called all-in for 124,000.

Tomas Ribeiro: A♣K♦J♣2♣
Shaun Deeb: A♠Q♥Q♣3♠

The 8♦5♣4♠3♣9♠ board gave Ribeiro a wheel for the double.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Roussos Koliakoudakis bet 225,000 from the button on a flop of 5♥8♦2♦ before his opponent in early position called for the rest of their chips.

All-In Player: Q♦J♦4♥4♠
Roussos Koliakoudakis: A♦A♥5♣3♠

Koliakoudakis had two aces but needed to hold up against his opponent's flush draw. The board ran out J♥8♣ and Koliakoudakis stayed in front to bust a player and take in the big pot.
