Kusumowidagdo Scores a Double Knockout

Tyler Boyer

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with Michael Reed all in on a 4♠9♣4♦ board, when Ray Henson bet from the cutoff, and was raised all in for his last 10,000 chips by Justin Kusumowidagdo. Henson made the call, and the hands were on their back.

Michael Reed: 6♥6♠ All in
Ray Henson: A♣K♥ All in
Justin Kusumowidagdo: 10♠10♥

Reed needed to spike a six and Henson would need an ace or king to stay alive. But when the board ran out 5♥ on the turn and J♣ on the river Kusumowidagdo was able to eliminate both players.

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Josh Arieh opened from early position before Ernest Bush three-bet one seat over. Action folded back around to Arieh who called.

Arieh check-called a bet from Bush on the 3♣J♣4♥ flop.

Bush moved all in for his last few chips after the turn came Q♦ and Arieh did not hesitate to put his opponent at risk.

Ernest Bush: A♠2♥ All in
Josh Arieh: A♥10♦

Bush was in rough shape and found no help on the 7♣ river to bring his tournament to a close short of the money while Arieh added to what was already one of the largest stacks in the room.

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Anson Tsang raised on the button and was called by Maria Ho in the small blind, and Matt Woodword in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥J♠K♠. When it checked to Tsang he bet, and was then raised by Ho. Woodward called, then Tsang put in the three-bet. Both Ho and Woodward called to see a turn.

On the turn was the 6♦ and both Ho and Woodward check-called the bet from Tsang.

The river brought the 5♥ and all three players checked.

Ho showed first and tabled Qx10x for a busted straight draw, and Tsang showed A♠5♠ for a rivered pair of fives. Woodward mucked his hand and was left with only 8,000 chips. Woodward was eliminated from the tournament a few hands later.

Player	Chips	Progress
Anson Tsang	271,000 33,000	33,000

Maria Ho	160,000 59,000	59,000

Level 12 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Jared Bleznick opened from middle position and action folded around to Mike Lang in the small blind who called to send the two players to the flop.

Lang led out on the A♣J♥3♣ flop and was called.

The 9♠ turn did not cause Lang to slow down as he instead pushed another bet into the middle. Again, Bleznick called.

Lang bet one last time following the 2♦ river and Bleznick called. Lang tabled A♠J♠ for a winner to keep his stack on the up and up.

Mike Lang	225,000 7,000	7,000

The 8♦ turn saw Negreanu check again. Leknes continued his aggression with another bet and, after sizing up his opponent, Negreanu let go of his hand to take a slight hit to his stack.
