Radanov Triples Up with Short Stack

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three ways to the 6♠6♦4♣ flop, Christopher Vitch checked from the small blind and Damjan Radanov moved all in for his last 8,000 in the big blind. Stephen Chidwick called from under the gun and Vitch came along.

All checked it down on a 5♥ turn and 2♠ river as Radanov tabled his A♠7♥3♠3♦ for the nut low and a seven-high straight. That scooped the entire pot as neither Chidwick nor Vitch could beat either of it.

Soon after, a table broke as Tsugunari Toma and Jake Liebeskind were eliminated to bring the field down to 64 contestants.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kosei Ichinose raised to 12,000 and was called by Vladimir Belekhov as well as Kyle Montgomery out of the blinds. On a flop of J♥6♠4♥, action checked to Ichinose, who pushed all in for 25,000 only to be called by both opponents.

Belekhov bet the 7♦ turn for 100,000 and Montgomery folded.

Kosei Ichinose: A♠5♠4♠3♠
Vladimir Belekhov: A♥9♦6♣2♣

The K♠ river ensured a split pot as Belekhov had the nut low.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

David Prociak led out for 55,000 on the 5♥7♣5♦ flop, leaving the action on Quentin Krueger on the button. Krueger made the call to see the 8♠ turn.

Prociak announced pot for a bet of 278,000, enough to put Krueger at risk. The call was made and the hands were revealed.

Quentin Krueger: A♣K♣10♠2♦
David Prociak: A♦6♣6♥2♠

Both players had an ace-deuce low, while the 9♥ river confirmed the high hand for Prociak to take three-quarters of a massive pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a preflop raise to 18,000 and a continuation bet worth 21,000 on the A♠Q♣6♠ flop, Ky Nguyen got his shorter stack in against Taylor Wilson to create the following showdown.

Ky Nguyen: A♣5♥3♠2♠
Taylor Wilson: A♦6♣5♦2♣

The 3♦ river gave both players the same low and Wilson had the superior two pair to earn three-quarters of the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jared Jaffee and Michael Banducci were heads up on a runout showing 3♣6♣3♠J♠Q♦.

Jaffee led out for 50,000 into a pot of about 85,000 but was facing a raise once Banducci bet enough to put his opponent all in. Jaffee took some time before making the fold, allowing the Day 1 chip leader added to his stack.

At a nearby table, Dan Shak doubled his stack at the expense of Carlos Guerrero who was eliminated shortly after.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three ways to the J♣4♦2♥ flop, the action checked to Tsugunari Toma and he bet. Dan Shak raised the pot to force out a third player in the hand and Toma then jammed for 141,000, earning a call from Shak with the covering stack.

Tsugunari Toma: A♣J♥7♠3♥
Dan Shak: A♠10♣10♦3♠

"Yeah, I was afraid of that," Shak declared with cards on their backs. He earned just one quarter of the pot following the J♠ turn and 7♦ river runout but avoided getting scooped entirely.

Chidwick Doubles Through Radanov; Negreanu on the Rise

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick got it in for 117,000 with the A♦A♠4♥3♠ and he was up against the A♥K♣Q♦J♣ of Damjan Radanov when top set clashed with the nut flush draw on the A♣9♥5♣ flop. The 5♠ turn locked up the double for Chidwick with aces full to make the 9♦ river a formality.

Also on the rise is Daniel Negreanu, who knocked out Ari Engel not long ago. Negreanu iterated at the table that he had only three-bet twice before with aces and then apparently picked up double-suited aces against Engel.
