Kirsch Does His Best Weinman Impression by Spiking a Jack

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in early position moved all in for around 400,000, another opponent reshoved for 650,000, and Daniel Kirsch had them both covered and at risk.

Early-Position: QQ All in
Middle-Position: AK All in
Daniel Kirsch: JJ

With most of his stack in the middle, Kirsch found himself dominated until the flop brought J86, giving him top set. The rest of the board ran out 52 and Kirsch scooped the entire pot to eliminate both players.

"Jacks have sunrun this table. They haven't lost once," tablemate Jayphong Nguyen said.

"I don't know if it's a good omen, but last year's champion had the same hand against queens and ace-king," Nguyen added.

"Actually it was kings," another tablemate replied.

"Kings? That makes it worse," Nguyen said.

Lu Wins Multi-Way Pot

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Martin Finger raised to 40,000 and earned three callers including table chip leader Lingkun Lu, the button and the big blind. They all checked through the Q85 flop and the 6 turn was checked to Lu. His bet of 85,000 forced three folds and he won the pot without resistance to recover some previous losses.

Lonis Regaining

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised from early position and was called by the player in the big blind. The 8Q7 flop was then checked through before Lonis bet 65,000 on the 3 turn.

The big blind check-called and the K came on the river. The big blind checked again, Lonis fired a big bet of 270,000 chips, and the big blind folded after some thinking time.

Joe McKeehen

The remnants of a hand were being sorted and the details were told afterwards. Joe McKeehen jammed for about 400,000 over an early position raise. Jeffrey Copeland called.

McKeehen had 9x9x and was up against the AxKx of Copeland who would hit a king on the runout to eliminate the last Main Event champion remaining in the field

Assorted Chip Counts in the Horseshoe

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kohl Takes One Out But Doesn't Get Ding's Chips

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of 10874, Biao Ding bet 250,000 from the cutoff before James Kohl moved all in for 640,000 in the big blind. An early-position player called for his last 540,000 and Ding tanked for a few minutes before folding.

The all-in player showed K10 for top pair and a flush draw, while Kohl had 65 for a straight. The river was the K and Kohl took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

"I wanted his chips. If you folded a set, that's a hell of a fold," Kohl told Ding after the hand.

Kolev On the Up and Up

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Boris Kolev in late position was involved in a hand with Christopher Vitch in the big blind.

With the board reading 68Q6 Vitch bet 80,000. Kolev made the call to see a river.

Vitch checked following the 9 river, prompting Kolev to bet 250,000. After some consideration, Vitch laid down his hand to take a hit to his stack while sending Kolev north of the three million mark.

Sherwood Eliminated by Tkatschew

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Sherwood moved all-in for 245,000 in the hijack and Alexander Tkatschew asked for a count one seat over before he called, all players behind folded.

Robert Sherwood: A10 All in
Alexander Tkatschew: 99

The J42 flop kept Sherwood with some hope, but that all vanished when the 9 turn improved Tkatschew to a set of nines and left the Brit drawing dead. That made the K river a formality and Sherwood headed to the payout desk.

Cantu Calls With Ace-High

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Parker Talbot opened to 40,000 from the hijack and got called by Brandon Cantu in the cutoff.

A flop of 733 was spread across the table and Talbot continued for 30,000, which Cantu called.

Both players checked the 7 turn to see the 6 fall on the river. Talbot fired 35,000, and Cantu made a quick call.

Talbot was quick to let Cantu know that he had nothing, which prompted Cantu to show AQ for the pot.
