Aces vs. Kings vs. Queens - Oh My!

Calum Grant

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

High Roller Taylor von Kriegenbergh opened to 65,000 from middle position before Cameron Mixson made it 175,000 from the button. Gregory Fournier moved all in for around 900,000 from the big blind, prompting Von Kriegenbergh to rejam for around 1,300,000. Mixson snap-called as the covering stack and the cards went on their backs.

Gregory Fournier: Q♥Q♣ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: K♥K♦ All in
Cameron Mixson: A♦A♠

There was a paint card on the flop but Mixson remain ahead as the dealer put out the J♥6♣6♦. The 5♦ turn strengthened Mixson grip on the massive pot, which was then pushed to him after the 2♥ river confirmed Fournier's and Von Kriegenbergh's exit.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Bin Weng raised to 60,000 in the hijack before Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 200,000 in the cutoff.

Weng asked the dealer how much Ponakovs' raise was for and the dealer went to toss him the all-in chip. "I said how much is it," Weng said to a round of laughs from the table.

The dealer confirmed Ponakovs' raise before Weng moved all in for real this time, shoving his last 700,000 into the middle. Ponakovs snap-called.

Bin Weng: A♠7♠ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣

Weng found himself dominated as the A♣6♥5♥ flop gave both players top pair. The rest of the board came 6♠Q♦ and Ponakovs' king-kicker played to send Weng to the rail.

On a board of 4♦3♥5♣8♠9♦, all the chips were in the middle with Ko having tabled 7♣6♣ for a straight. Angel Castro had rivered a set of nines holding 9♥9♣ and the under-the-gun player held J♥J♣, which finished third in the hand.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jonathan Little predicted David Simon was going to win the tournament after Simon beat him in a pot earlier this level, but that lasted only a few minutes.

Simon had fallen down to around 350,000 when he moved all in from the cutoff. Hiroki Nawa was in the big blind and called to put Simon at risk.

David Simon: A♠7♦ All in
Hiroki Nawa: A♣Q♦

Simon was dominated as the J♥K♠J♦4♦10♣ board improved Nawa to a straight, sending Simon to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Noah Boeken was sitting on a short stack of around 200,000 when he moved all in from early position. The table folded to Mark Zullo in the big blind who called to put Boeken at risk.

Noah Boeken: Q♠J♣ All in
Mark Zullo: K♥K♦

Boeken was far behind Zullo's kings as the flop came J♦6♥7♠, giving him some hope with a pair of jacks. The 3♦ turn was no help, while the 3♠ completed the board on the river and sent Boeken to the rail.

Nakladal Delivers a One-Two Blow to Eliminate Crockett

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A brutal two hands for Adam Crockett saw him eliminated from the Main Event.

Firstly, Crocket opened the hijack to 65,000 and got called by Jan Nakladal on the button & Carlos Sanchez Diaz in the big blind.

On the 3♠7♦4♠ flop, Diaz checked, Crockett bet 75,000, and only Nakladal called.

The 10♠ landed on the turn and Crockett fired another bet of 225,000 into the pot, which Nakladal called.

Crockett slowed down with a check on the A♣ river, and Nakladal made a bet of 500,000. Crockett thought it about it for a while before he made the call.

Nakladal tabled A♠9♠ for the nut flush, and Crockett mucked saying he had 6x5x for a straight.

The very next hand, Crockett shoved for 150,000 from middle position and Nakladal made the call from the cutoff.

Adam Crockett: J♠10♠ All in
Jan Nakladal: A♦Q♦

Crockett flopped a Royal Flush draw but couldn't connect with any of his outs as the board ran out K♠Q♠7♣5♦K♥, which ended his Main Event run.
