Wang Doubles Through Schwartz

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yang Wang and Noah Schwartz were heads-up on a flop of K♣7♠10♦ with a sizable pot already brewing.

Wang shoved for his last 460,000 from the small blind and Schwartz called from early position to put Wang at risk after verifying the amount.

Yang Wang: A♥A♦J♣J♠ All in
Noah Schwartz: A♣K♥Q♥5♣

The J♥ turn improved Schwartz to Broadway while also giving Wang a set, and the 7♦ river upgraded Wang to a full house for the double up.

Richard Gryko raised from the hijack to 75,000 and Joao Vieira called form the big blind.

On the 5♦6♠10♥ flop, Vieira checked, Gryko bet 85,000, and Vieira called.

The action was then checked to showdown on the 4♦ turn and 6♥ river. Vieira announced that he had jacks but Gryko flipped over A♥A♦7♠2♦ and took the pot with a pair of aces.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With around 400,000 in the middle to the 10♠5♣5♦ flop, Eric Wasserson ended up all-in and at risk against Tom Dwan for what appeared to be 370,000.

Eric Wasserson: A♦A♣8♣3♦ All in
Tom Dwan: 9♣8♥6♣5♥

The 5♠ turn further improved Dwan to quads and Wasserson went from very slim to zero equity prior to the 6♥ river.

"Guess I should just fold," he murmured before heading towards the payout desk.

Small Pot for Moncek

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

From an early position, Michael Moncek raised to 85,000 and the action folded all the way to Connor Drinan in the big blind. Drinan called and they checked the 9♣6♠4♣ flop as well as the J♥ turn. When the 9♥ river paired the board, Drinan checked again.

Moncek bet 185,000 and Drinan used one time bank extension before he folded. After the hand was over, Drinan was high-card off the table to balance the shrinking field, which is down to 53 hopefuls already.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Caleb Furth got his short stack of 35,000 into the middle from the cutoff and Brian Rast made it 125,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way which left Furth heads-up with Rast for his tournament life.

Caleb Furth: A♠10♦6♥4♦ All in
Brian Rast: Q♠6♣5♣3♠

Rast ended the hand with a full house on the K♠2♠6♦Q♣Q♥ runout which meant Furth hopes of mounting a comeback were eradicated.
