Holley and Volpe Chip Up

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A short-stacked Tony Cousineau got it in with the A♥5♠2♦2♣ and Paul Volpe followed suit with the A♠6♥4♣2♥.

The board board ran out 7♣4♦3♣3♥8♦ board and both players had the nut low, while Volpe also had the superior pair to earn three quarters.

A jolly John Holley then battled with Dylan Weisman over on table 138 and exclaimed he had to bet all the way when splashing in 200,000 on the J♠8♦5♥3♦2♥ river.

"I had two pair and the nut low, now I have three pair," Weisman responded and sigh-folded soon after.

Vitch Takes Two Hits

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ryan Hoenig raised to 50,000 and Christopher Vitch called from one seat over. On the 10♦9♠3♣ flop, Hoenig checked and subsequently check-raised from 60,000 to 200,000 for Vitch to call.

That led to the J♠ turn on which Hoenig bet 270,000 and Vitch folded.

Hoenig was then moved tables to balance while Vitch defended against a raise to 55,000 by Ryan Rapaski. They headed to the K♠8♥4♥ flop on which Vitch checked and Rapaski bet 100,000. The check-shove by Vitch followed and Rapaski called all-in for 310,000 total.

Ryan Rapaski: A♠K♠6♦2♥
Christopher Vitch: A♣9♣9♦5♥

The J♣ turn gave Vitch the nut flush draw but the 6♥ river changed nothing, as Rapaski scooped a full double.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Paul Volpe raised an early position open for his stack of 290,000 and found a call from Yingui Li's shorter stack.

Yingui Li: A♦K♣8♦7♣
Paul Volpe: A♣5♠4♥4♦

Volpe connected immediately with the 7♣J♥4♣ flop to hit a set of fours, while the K♥ turn and J♦ river left Li exiting in 22nd place.

Volpe had been multitasking in this event, running deep in Online Event #13: $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller Championship before his run ended in 14th place.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the first hand after the redraw, Quentin Krueger and Randen Honigman were both all in and at risk against John Holley.

Quentin Krueger: K♣Q♣10♥9♠
Randen Honigman: A♠K♦5♦4♠
John Holley: A♦J♠10♦7♣

The board ran out 8♥9♥K♠10♠Q♦ to give a straight, good enough to take the whole pot and eliminate Honigman and Krueger at the same time.

Wilson Eliminated by Deutsch

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Table 143 had been playing for stacks for the past hour with Stephen Deutsch skyrocketing to the chip lead. He then tangled with Taylor Wilson when they got it in on a flop of A♠Q♣4♦.

Taylor Wilson: 5♥3♠2♠2♥
Stephen Deutsch: A♥Q♥6♥2♦

The 9♥ turn and Q♠ river failed to improve Wilson, who gasped a "what, I can't catch a low?" while Deutsch made queens full of aces.

With that elimination, the field is down to the last 24 players and will redraw for the final three tables when everyone has completed the current hand.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Calen Mcneil raised to 35,000 only to see Daniel Negreanu three-bet the pot for almost all of his chips. Mcneil took some time before confirming that he was putting Negreanu all in and the call was made.

Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♠10♠4♦
Calen Mcneil: A♠J♠7♣5♥

Negreanu was ahead as the cards were revealed but the 5♠6♠8♦ flop brough Mcneil a straight draw. The 4♥ turn completed that draw and gave Mcneil the better low.

The 10♣ river changed nothing, as Mcneil scooped the pot to eliminate Negreanu.
