David Stamm Eliminated in 5th Place ($132,053)

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
David Stamm
David Stamm

Action started with an open jam from Jonathan Schwartz, who was under the gun with the shortest stack at the table, 1,250,000. His hand was KQ.

Action folded to David Stamm in the small blind, who re-raised all in for 6,600,000 with AK. Last to act was Erlend Melsom, who found AJ in the big blind. He decided that the spot was too good not to take and put in the call for 6,200,000.

Jonathan Schwartz: KQAll in
David Stamm: AKAll in
Erlend Melsom: AJ

The flop was great for Melsom and bad for the at-risk players, the J87. The turn, however, brought a card for Schwartz, the Q. The river 5 gave Schwartz the triple-up, but meant the elimination of David Stamm.

Yosifov Makes the Correct Call Versus Hoy

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ben Hoy opened the button with J5 and Nikolay Yosifov defended in the big blind with J7.

The flop came K74 and Yosifov checked. Hoy continued for 1,000,000. Yosifov called with his middle pair.

The turn 4 got checked around.

The river brought the third club, it was the 5. Josifov now made a small bet of 525,000 into a pot of over 4,500,000 chips. Hoy had made a pair of fives on the river, but decided it was not good enough for a call and raised to 3,000,000. Yosifov did not take too long to make the good call and take down the pot.

Ben Hoy raised from the small blind with the A7, Erlend Melsom three-bet all in with the 33 and Hoy snap-called it.

Ben Hoy: A7 All in
Erlend Melsom: 33

The flop came KQ4 to miss Hoy. The turn was the 9 and the river the Q to keep the threes as the strongest hand. The stacks were counted down to make sure Hoy was covered, which he was very slightly.

An amazing accomplishment for Hoy as he takes home $249,005 in what is his first career registered live cash.

Nikolay Yosifov looked down at the KK and limped the small blind. Erlend Melsom had the A10 and raised to 2,100,000 from the big blind. Yosifov three-bet it to 5,600,000. Melsom took a few moments before four-bet jamming all in for 17,500,000 which Yosifov snap-called.

Erlend Melsom: A10 All in
Nikolay Yosifov: KK

The flop came Q95. The turn was the J to give Melsom more outs. The river was the K to give the Norwegian broadway and rip the bracelet away from Yosifov as he put his hands to his face in dismay in a rare showing of emotion as he was now well behind in chips.
