David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Joni Jouhkimainen had a raise to 125,000 in front of him in the big blind and Bryn Kenney called in middle position before Anton Morgenstern moved all in for 291,000.

Jouhkimainen instantly reshoved for 646,000. "Ah, tough spot. Phone a friend," Kenney said as he stood up from his seat. He eventually decided to fold.

Anton Morgenstern: A♣J♥8♥3♣
Joni Jouhkimainen: K♥Q♣10♥9♣

The board ran out A♥7♦Q♦5♥4♦ and Morgenstern won the pot with his pair of aces.

"I would've scooped the whole thing," Kenney said following the hand.

Scott Seiver was all-in with a short stack holding the A♥K♦9♥7♠ on a flop of K♠7♣6♦. Chance Kornuth looked him up with the K♣Q♠9♠4♣ and got there with the Q♦ turn and 6♠ river.

The same table then also lost Darren Kramer, who was all-in preflop for 165,000 against Eelis Pärssinen.

Darren Kramer: A♥K♦Q♥J♦
Eelis Pärssinen: J♠10♠6♣5♣

The 9♣6♦4♥2♦2♥ board improved Pärssinen to reduce the field further.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel limped in from the cutoff.

"I like that move," Ben lamb commented from the big blind, while Danny Hannawa also came in for the minimum on the button. Lamb then made it 110,000 to go and only Hannawa called.

The flop came K♣J♥10♥ and Lamb bet 115,000 chips, around one-third of his stack. Hannawa then jammed all in, covering his opponent by a fair margin.

Lamb thought it over for a bit before eventually finding a fold, garnering a "wow" from Kabrhel.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Hannawa	895,000 495,000	495,000
Martin Kabrhel	204,000 173,000	173,000

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Krasimir Yankov bet 105,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♦A♣5♣ before Kabeelan Rajamurthy in the small blind raised to 350,000.

Aaron Mermelstein then moved all in for around 420,000. "Is this play money," tablemate Pakinai Lisawad said as Yankov tanked for more than a minute before letting his hand go. Rajamurthy called Mermelstein's all-in bet.

Aaron Mermelstein: 7♠4♥3♠3♥
Kabeelan Rajamurthy: A♠J♣9♣2♠

Mermelstein had flopped a straight, while Rajamurthy was on a flush draw that came in on the 7♣ turn. Mermelstein was already drawing dead as the J♥ fell on the river.

Krasimir Yankov	2,300,000 100,000	100,000

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a flop of 10♥8♠4♦, Jonathan Cohen was all-in for around 345,000 and at risk against Jesse Lonis.

Jonathan Cohen: J♣J♦9♣9♦
Jesse Lonis: A♦K♠Q♦2♠

The 5♦ turn and 7♦ river improved Cohen to a straight and jack-high flush alike but the same river card gave Lonis the ace-high flush for yet another knockout.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Tyler Brown and Tong Li had already built a massive pot of nearly 1,000,000 heading to the 5♣3♦6♣ flop when Li got his last 70,000 in the middle and Brown called.

Tong Li: A♥A♣8♦7♠
Tyler Brown: J♣10♦8♣8♥

Brown was chasing a flush draw and waited until the river to complete it as the board ran out J♥7♣, cracking the aces of last year's $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha champion to send him to the rail.
