Fiechter Sends Zhang Home

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 7♦3♥9♦4♠, where Philipp Fiechter made a bet of 15,000 from the hijack and was called by Yizhe Zhang on the button.

The river brought the 8♠ and Fiechter instantly moved all in, covering Zhang's stack of 21,200.

Zhang thought about it for a bit before calling off for his tournament life. Fiechter shrugged his shoulders and tabled Q♠Q♦ for a pair of queens, after which Zhang mucked his cards in defeat and left the tournament area.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player opened to 1,500 in the cutoff and was called by Phil Ivey on the button as well as both blinds.

Action checked to Ivey following the J♠5♣2♠ flop and he continued for 3,000. The small blind responded by moving all in for 27,100, forcing two quick folds from the big blind and cutoff. Ivey thought for a while before eventually calling with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.

Small Blind: K♠Q♠ All in
Phil Ivey: K♥J♣

Ivey was ahead with his top pair but would need to fade quite a few outs to win the pot. Nothing changed on the 7♣ turn with the 6♣ river keeping Ivey's pair best to hand him the knockout.

Seref Anar and his opponent had put in 10,000 chips each preflop when a flop of 9♣6♠7♣ was dealt. His opponent then shoved all in for 16,100 and Anar snap called with the covering stack.

Opponent: A♦A♣ All in
Seref Anar: K♠K♣

It was looking like Anar would be left with crumbs as the Q♦ came on the river, but the K♦ river saw him hit his two-outer and eliminate his opponent from the Main Event.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Anthony Mullen, who had been nursing a short stack throughout most of the day, stopped by the PokerNews desk to report how he was eliminated from the Main Event.

He had three-bet preflop to 17,000 and received two callers. He then put the rest of his 9,000 chips in on the Q♦5♥10♣ rainbow board and was called by one opponent.

Anthony Mullen: K♥K♣ All in
Opponent: AxQx

The turn bricked out, but the river brought an Ax to end Mullen's Main Event run on Day 1.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Gary Tomes got his chips into the middle on the Q♦10♣2♣9♦ turn and tabled his K♦Q♣ for top pair and a gutshot. He was drawing to a chop only as Marc DeSantis had turned the nut straight with the K♣J♠. The river was a blank and that sent the chips over to DeSantis.
