Lonis Still in the Lead

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action has slowed down somewhat and the field is down to the last seven tables with one of them about to break.

Jesse Lonis continues to be the current chip leader and just added some chips when he bet the K♦J♦5♣K♣Q♣ river for 210,000 on the button. Anton Morgenstern had checked from an early position and used one time bank extension before folding.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sam Stein was all in for 310,000 from the cutoff and up against Ky Nguyen in the hijack.

Sam Stein: K♣K♥J♥8♣
Ky Nguyen: A♠A♣Q♥J♣

It was a classic aces versus kings cooler, and Stein fell further behind on the A♥5♦10♥ flop as Nguyen hit top set. The 10♠ fell on the turn and Nguyen made a full house to leave Stein drawing dead and heading for the exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jake Schindler open-raised for the pot, 105,000 chips. Krasimir Yankov was in the hijack and was the only one to make the call.

The flop fell Q♣3♠2♣ and Schindler led out for a pot-sized bet of 395,000, only leaving himself 135,000 behind. Yankov then raised to put Schindler all-in and Schindler called.

Jake Schindler: A♥A♣J♥9♠
Krasimir Yankov: A♠K♣Q♠2♦

Schindler started with pocket aces but Yankov had outflopped him with two pair. No help came for Schindler on the 8♠ turn or 7♣ river and he was to be the latest casualty of the pot-limit Omaha High Roller.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Four-handed on a flop of K♣10♦J♠, Anthony Marsico bet 105,000 from the cutoff and only Tyler Smith called in the small blind.

The turn came the 8♠ and Smith checked to Marsico, who bet another 300,000. Smith again called and the Q♥ fell on the river.

Marsico fired 300,000 again and this time Smith put in a raise to 700,000. Marsico's cards instantly hit the muck.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised the pot to 105,000 with 55,000 behind and Ky Nguyen then three-bet the pot. Joao Vieira called all-in out of the big blind and Kornuth did so, too.

Chance Kornuth: A♠Q♠9♠9♦
Joao Vieira: Q♥Q♣10♦7♣
Ky Nguyen: 9♣8♣7♥6♠

The board ran out A♥5♥4♥10♥K♣ and Kornuth asked "I think I won?" with a smirk on the face. He indeed tripled for 160,000 while Vieira doubled the 85,000 he had behind against Nguyen.

In the meanwhile, Freddy Deeb has been eliminated from one table over as 45 hopefuls remain.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

[Removed:508], Tyler Brown, and Keith Lehr had arrived on a flop of K♦9♦7♣. Crivello was in the big blind and led out for a pot-sized bet of 300,000.

He only had 135,000 chips back but did not have to worry about them as both Brown and Lehr folded in quick succession.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of Q♠5♦4♦, Jonathan Azoulay got it in against the table big stack Tyler Smith and they revealed the following cards.

Jonathan Azoulay: K♠Q♥Q♣10♦
Tyler Smith: A♦9♥7♥2♦

Azoulay was ahead with the top set but Smith had wheel and flush outs. Nothing changed with the J♠ turn but the 3♣ river gave Smith the wheel, sending Azoulay into agony.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 2♣3♥8♣, Bogdan Capitan moved all in for 330,000 from the big blind and Krasimir Yankov called in middle position. Conrad De Armas folded the button and Capitan and Yankov went heads-up.

Bogdan Capitan: A♠9♠5♦4♣
Krasimir Yankov: Q♥J♥8♦3♦

Yankov had two pair and the lead, while Capitan was on a straight draw. The K♥ turn was no help, but Capitan caught the 4♠ on the river as he let out a loud "Yes" and doubled up.
