Le Chips Up on Millian

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ricardo Nakamura raised to 165,000 and picked up calls from Ivan Millian and Quoc Le in the blinds.

The flop gave Q♦3♣8♣ and Millian chose to lead for 500,000. After some thinking, Le shoved for 1,5550,000 and Nakamura let it go. Million considered it for some time and eventually folded at the end of the clock.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tzhim Pun moved all in from the button for 420,000 and was called by Ivan Millian in the small blind.

Tzhim Pun: Q♣8♣
Ivan Millian: A♥10♠

The flop of A♦5♣2♣ gave Millian top pair, but also gave Pun a flush draw. The Q♠ on the turn gave Pun additional outs. He could hit any queen, eight or club to win the pot, but instead the 2♦ landed on the river to give Millian aces and deuces and sent Pun to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kane Kalas raised and Jimmy Setna made the call in the big blind. The duo went to see a flop 8♦5♥6♠ and Setna check-called Kalas for 230,000.

Things heated on the J♣ turn. After another check from Setna, Kalas fired 685,000 into the pot. Setna tanked for two minutes before moving all in and Kalas snap-called with a total stack worth 2,235,000:

Jimmy Setna: 10♦7♣
Kane Kalas: J♥J♠

Setna was left looking to hit his straight draws, facing a set of jacks in Kalas' hands, but bricked the A♣ river. After the dealer confirmed that Setna had slightly less chips than Kalas, he made his way to the payout desk.

"Oh, That's Easy To Beat"

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Arnold Spee jammed in early position for his last 365000 and got called by a player to his direct left.

Action folded around to Quoc Le who three-bet jammed for well over 2,000,000. The player who had called got out of the way to send the other two players to a runout with Spee at risk.

Arnold Spee: 6♠6♦
Quoc Le: Q♥Q♦

When the cards were turned up, Spee said, "Oh, that's easy to beat" and seemed confident that he was going to come from behind and secure over a triple up.

The 5♠5♥9♦ flop didn't do anything to prove his intuition right, but the 6♣ turn certainly did.

The river 2♣ was a blank for Le as Spree secured over a triple up after coming from behind in a big way.

Miracle River for Conniff

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ian Steinman raised on the button to 160,000 and Asher Conniff decided to shove in the big blind for a total stack worth 1,400,000. Steinman immediately called:

Asher Conniff: 4♣4♥
Ian Steinman: K♠K♦

Conniff was in desperate shape for his tournament's life and was ready to leave when the board first showed 7♣A♠Q♣8♣. However, a 4♦ showed up on the river to give a set of fours to Conniff to double up.

Ian Steinman	4,700,000 690,000	690,000

Asher Conniff	3,020,000 1,550,000	1,550,000

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kang Hyun Lee raised to 160,000 under the gun and folded to Timothy Jenkins who jammed for a stack around 1,450,000. The rest of the players folded and Lee called all in for 1,270,000:

Kang Hyun Lee: Q♠Q♦
Timothy Jenkins: 9♣9♥

Lee didn't find any bad surprise throughout the board 4♣3♦6♥10♠J♦ to scoop the pot and double his stack while Jenkins was left with crumbs.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kang Hyun Lee	2,530,000 1,925,000	1,925,000

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Tristen Nelson moved all in from under the gun for 925,000 and was called by Ricardo Nakamura in the cutoff.

Tristen Nelson: K♥Q♥
Ricardo Nakamura: A♣K♠

Nelson was dominated and apart from running cards was drawing dead on the flop after the runout of A♠K♣9♣3♣8♣ gave Nakamura top
two pair. Nelson has to settle for 16th place, while the Japanese-Brazillian Nakamura is in the hunt to capture the WSOP gold bracelet.
