Kertland Fades the World to Remain Seated

Tyler Foran

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

Yiannis Liperis opened in early position and Jesse Kertland defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of A♠10♠5♠ and Kertland checked to Liperis who continued for 500,000. Kertland paused for a moment as he looked at the other tables, and called off his 430,000.

Jesse Kertland: A♣9♦ All in
Yiannis Liperis: Q♦J♠

Kertland had the lead with a pair of aces, but Liperis flopped a gutshot straight draw as well as a flush draw. The Q♥ gave Liperis some more outs as he made a pair of queens but the 9♥ river wasn't one of them, sending the double to Kertland.

Yiannis Liperis	2,900,000 660,000	660,000
Jesse Kertland	1,300,000 630,000	630,000

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

Nicholas Seward raised to 535,000 and left just a single chip behind worth 5,000. Alexandre Arnold announced a raise and was forced to min-raise from the button, then Kyle Julius shoved from the big blind. Seward then called off his last chip, and Arnold put in the rest of his stack.

Nicholas Seward: K♠8♠ All in
Kyle Julius: A♥K♣ All in
Alexandre Arnold: A♠K♥

Seward couldn't be saved as the runout of 6♦J♦6♣9♦4♠ meant his chips were shared equally between Arnold and Julius.

Alexandre Arnold	1,300,000 200,000	200,000
Kyle Julius	1,250,000 70,000	70,000

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

Wayne Harmon opened to 160,000 from middle position, then John Perry to his left shoved for 625,000. Harmon made the call.

John Perry: 6♦6♣ All in
Wayne Harmon: K♣K♦

Perry was on the edge of elimination after the dealer spread a flop of A♠J♥2♥. But the 6♥ gave him a set, so he doubled up after the 5♠ river.

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

Stoyan Madanzhiev had 400,000 across the line from early position and was faced with an all-in jam of 1,945,000 from Wayne Harmon in the big blind. After giving it about a minute of thought, he tossed in the call.

Wayne Harmon: A♠K♥ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♦Q♦

Harmon was in great shape and the 8♠3♥2♦5♥6♥ run out changed nothing.

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

Jesse Kertland in the hijack found himself almost at risk, as he had 1,175,000 engaged preflop and 80,000 left behind.

After he called from the small blind, Justin Belforti moved all-in on Q♣4♦J♦ and Kertland snap called.

Jesse Kertland: K♥Q♥ All in
Justin Belforti: A♠Q♦

The 3♣ turn and the 3♠ river didn't change anything and Kertland was eliminated in 26th place for $24,697.

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

Pei Li opened from early position and Paolo Boi three-bet to 450,000 from the big blind. Li called.

On the Q♥K♥2♣ flop, Boi check-called a bet of 220,000 from Li.

A 3♣ on the turn was checked through to the 8♥ river. Boi bet 300,000, and Li raised to 1,300,000. After some time thinking, Boi made the call.

Li tabled A♦4♦ for just ace-high, but Boi had the winner with A♥Q♣ for a pair of queens.

Paolo Boi	4,800,000 2,000,000	2,000,000

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

Kyle Julius opened 160,000 under the gun and Stoyan Madanzhiev called off his remaining stack of about 140,000 from the big blind.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♠Q♥ All in
Kyle Julius: A♠7♥

Madanzhiev only looked at the queen, and the table commented on the good hand he ended up with.

The J♠9♠5♥ flop gave Madanzhiev a gutshot straight draw to go along with his two live cards but the 8♠ turn and A♣ river improved Julius to a pair of aces as Madanzhiev headed to the payout desk in 25th place.

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

Benjamin Gold jammed in early position for 1,285,000 and Paolo Boi called next to act.

Benjamin Gold: K♦J♣ All in
Paolo Boi: 9♣9♦

The A♦5♦4♦ flop gave Gold a flush draw along with two over cards to hit, and the 3♦ turn left Boi drawing to a chop. The 3♥ river changed nothing, sending the double to Gold.
