Cahn Picks Up a Pot Off Wang

Christian Zetzsche

Level 27 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The production team informed the players that they would be aiming to finish level 28 or stop playing once the field is down to the final five, whichever comes first.

Ethan Cahn as the shortest stack then defended his big blind against a raise to 700,000 by Yang Wang from the under-the-gun position. They checked to the K♥J♥10♣J♣K♦ river on which Cahn bet 350,000. Wang smirked and then folded.

Both players checked through the 7♥ turn to the J♦ river, at which point Eldridge checked once more. Wang tossed out a bet of 1,100,000 and Eldridge made the call.

"Kings," announced Wang as he turned over K♦K♥Q♥4♦, sufficient to win the pot.

Brian Rast opened to 500,000 and Ethan Cahn defended the big blind. On the 7♣6♦5♠ flop, both players checked and did so again on the 6♣ turn. Cahn bet the 3♠ river for 650,000 and Rast used two time banks before he called.

"I have to pee so bad," Cahn said as he tossed his A♠K♦10♠4♣ towards the middle of the felt. Rast won the pot with A♣Q♥Q♠10♥ and Cahn said "nice call" before storming off to the bathroom.

When he returned, Cahn joked "that's why I was shaking so bad".

Level 27 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Liran Twito limped from middle position as did David Eldridge on the button. Maxi Lehmanski called in the big blind and Juha Helppi checked his option out of the big blind.

Action checked to Eldridge following the 10♣Q♦4♦ flop and he bet out 800,000. Lehmanski responded by moving all in for 3,300,000 only to see Helppi re-shove for 6,450,000. Twito quickly got out of the way but Eldridge did not immediately do the same. After some time, Eldridge decided to pick a better spot and folded.

Maxi Lehmanski: K♣4♣4♠2♠ All in
Juha Helppi: A♣Q♠Q♥3♠

It was a cooler for Lehmanski and one that he was unable to recover from as the board ran out 5♠10♠ to confirm the German's exit in 9th place.
