She Takes Out He

Adam Lamers

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On the secondary feature table, Nikita Luther and Charles He got in a preflop raising war which ended with He being all in and at risk for around 1,500,000.

Charles He: AxKx
Nikita Luther: 8x8x

The flop came KxQxJx and He took the lead with a pair of kings. A Qx on the turn changed nothing but it was an 8x on the river that gave Luther the best hand and brought out some emotion.

"That never happens to me!" Luther exclaimed as she stacked the pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Aditya Systla raised to 100,000 and Matas Dilpsas three-bet to 275,000. Pavel Dyachenko clicked it back to 450,000 in the small blind and Systla asked for the stack size of Dilpsas before folding while the Lithuanian called.

On the Q♥10♠2♦ flop, Dyachenko bet 700,000 and Dilpsas called all-in for just shy of that.

Matas Dilpsas: K♣J♥
Pavel Dyachenko: A♠A♣

The 5♠ turn and Q♣ river changed nothing and Dilpsas headed to the payout desk.

Soon after, Logan Hoover lost a big pot to Systla when he paid of J♦J♥ on a queen-high board. "Now you have it all back," Hoover joked in regards to their prevcious clash.

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ryan Tamanini open-raised to 100,000 from the cutoff before Jordan Jayne made it 300,000 from the button. Tamanini responded with a four-bet jam for 1,775,000 and Jayne folded after approximating his opponent's stack.

Over at another table, Fausto Valdez raised to 100,000 from early position and received a three-bet to 240,000 from Christian Harder. "Alright, you've found the bottom of my range," Valdez claimed and he mucked his cards.

At a third table, it was Oscar Alache who opened to 115,000 from the button. Daniel Weinman then reraised to 425,000 from the small blind and that spelled the end of the hand as Alache quickly got out of the way.

Connor Richards

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Daniel Scroggins had just taken down a pot after three-betting from the small blind as Harsheel Kothari commented that his Scroggins' watch was probably worth "more than 20 buy-ins."

"About 15," Scroggins said casually as he stretched out his wrist.

The next hand, Scroggins opened to 110,000 on the button and Mason Vieth three-bet to 325,000 in the big blind. Scroggins and his expensive watch called.

Vieth continued for 155,000 on the J♠Q♠K♥ flop and Scroggins called. Vieth then checked on the 9♠ turn and Scroggins checked back.

The 3♥ river completed the board and Vieth bet 160,000. Scroggins took some time before raising to 725,000 Vieth slammed a chip in frustration that landed in the lap of the player to his left. Vieth then rubbed his forehead and shuttered before throwing his cards past the muck to land right in front of Scroggins in the nine-seat, who took down the pot.

Sachs Makes a Tricky Fold

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Toby Lewis opened to 100,000 from under the gun and was called by Stephen Friedrich in middle position. Jacob Sachs then three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff and received a call from Lewis but a fold from Friedrich.

Action checked through the J♥K♣7♣ flop to the 4♥ turn at which point Lewis led out for a chunky 750,000. Sachs just called.

The river came Q♠, prompting Lewis to bet enough to force Sachs all in. Sachs gave the matter at hand some thought but did decide on a fold to put a substantial dent in his stack. It turned out to be a tough, but correct, fold as Sachs held A♦K♠ for top-top while Lewis had K♥K♦ for top set.

Luis Dorneles and Hilton Laborda were heads-up on a flop of 8♣J♦9♠ when Laborda, on the button, bet 150,000 and Dorneles called.

The turn came the 7♦ and Dorneles checked again, then called when Laborda fired out another 325,000. The 8♦ fell on the river and Dorneles checked once more.

Laborda slowed down and checked this time and Dorneles showed 10♥6♦ for a straight to win the pot.

"I have a straight. I just call" Spanne said after about 90 seconds, tabling A♦J♣ for a broadway straight. Boghean mucked his hand and Spanne dragged in a chunky pot.

Rigby's Dusty Hand Good Enough to Oust Heidorn

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby opened to 125,000 from middle position only to see Robert Heidorn move all in for 750,000 out of the small blind. Rigby thought for quite some time but did eventually make the call to put Heidorn at risk.

Robert Heidorn: A♣K♣
Nicholas Rigby: 10♣7♦

Rigby had made the call with what can fairly be called a somewhat less than premium holding but did have two live cards. The 9♦6♥10♠ immediately flipped the script, leaving Heidorn needing to get lucky to survive. The J♥ turn gave the at risk player some additional outs but none of them came in on the 3♠ river to send Heidorn packing in a frustrating spot.
