Farber Sends Ahmadian and Guerin to the Rail

Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Elia Ahmadian shoved from the cutoff for around 500,000, and Didier Guerin shoved from the button for 585,000. Jay Farber was in the small blind and he also shipped his stack into the middle which put two players at risk.

Elia Ahmadian: A♣6♦ All in
Didier Guerin: 4♠4♦ All in
Jay Farber: K♦K♣

It was a great spot for Farber to pick up bounties and he did just that as pocket kings maintained their lead throughout the hand on the 2♣8♣7♥J♣10♠ runout.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Schwarmann raised to 125,000 from under the gun and Damarjai Davenport three-bet to 335,000 from middle position. Schwarmann made the call.

The flop came 4♠9♥4♥ and Schwarmann check-called a bet of 320,000 from Davenport.

On the 4♣ turn, Schwarmann checked and Davenport bet again, this time for 915,000. After a moment of thought, Schwarmann raised all in, putting Davenport at risk.

Clearly faced with a difficult decision, Davenport went deep into the tank. After several minutes of contemplating and looking back at his cards, Davenport eventually tossed his cards into the muck.

Schwarmann looked at his cards and tabled 10♥8♥, as he dragged in the sizable pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nick Schwarmann	6,220,000 1,720,000	1,720,000
Damarjai Davenport	1,730,000 1,570,000	1,570,000

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Eshaan Bhalla raised to 120,000 from the hijack and Adrian Mateos called from the cutoff. Jorge Carvalho also called from the big blind.

Despite three players seeing the board, the action was checked all the way to showdown on the 10♣6♦4♠9♣7♣ runout.

Carvalho was first to show and flipped J♦8♦ for a straight, which prompted Bhalla and Mateos to both muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Eshaan Bhalla	1,650,000 250,000	250,000
Jorge Carvalho	1,500,000 300,000	300,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Rui Neves opened to 125,000 from the cutoff, then Eshaan Bhalla on the button three-bet to 400,000. The blinds folded, and Neves took as much time as he could to make a decision. The clock was called and he eventually called with his last 30,000.

Rui Neves: A♥J♣ All in
Eshaan Bhalla: A♣Q♥

Neves was on the edge of elimination after the dealer fanned a board of A♦7♥6♦10♥. But he was lucky enough to hit the J♥ river to double up.

"Sorry guys," immediately apologized Neves.

"It's ok, there is a big pay jump," Shaun Deeb answered.
