Dufouleur With the Double Knockout

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Dimitrov moved all in first from early position with just under 300,000 chips. Lois Dufouleur put out a call from the cutoff. It was then Dong Lee’s turn on the button and he made a call all in for just under 300,000 chips. The small blind folded and Cristian Stival had a decision. He smiled and open-folded 1010 to all the action before him.

Stefan Dimitrov: QQAll in
Dong Lee: 99All in
Lois Dufouleur: AK

The flop KJ7 gave the big edge to Dufouleur with a pair of kings.

The turn 8 brought in a gutshot for the nines, but the river 8 locked the pot for ace-king and Dimitrov and Lee were sent to the rail.

Kings Win a Big Pot for Gimbel

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Triple-crown winner Harrison Gimbel is still in play and just collected a sizeable pot to get himself in a good chip position. According to the players, he opened the betting with a raise to 80,000 from early position. Gustavo Kamei had less than a small blind with 15,000 chips in late position and called all in. Qi Xu in the cutoff also called, and other players folded.

The flop came K910. Gimbel bet 100,000 and Kamei moved all in, which was effective for Gimbel’s stack. Gimbel called.

Gustavo Kamei: A3All in
Harrison Gimbel: KKAll in
Qi Xu: K10

Xu got very unlucky to flop two pair when Gimbel flopped top set. The turn J and river 5 did not help Kamei or Xu and Gimbel doubled-up, while Kamei was eliminated. Xu was left with a short stack and has some work to do to get back in the run.

Bleznick Surges Up the Chip Counts

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jared Bleznick
Jared Bleznick

The board showed 92Q3. Michael Estes bet 375,000 from early position with roughly 500,000 behind. From the button, Jared Bleznick raised enough to put Estes all-in. Estes snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Michael Estes: KK All in
Jared Bleznick: 99

Bleznick's flopped set had Estes drawing extremely thin. There was no miracle two-outer on the river as it came the 5, meaning Estes was out and Bleznick had become one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Polop Eliminates Kelsall

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action started with a raise from the cutoff to 120,000. Andrew Kelsall went all in on the button for a bit over 400,000. David Cabrera Polop then reraised all in from the small blind. The big blind and the cutoff folded.

Andrew Kelsall: K7All in
David Cabrera Polop: AQ

The flop was great for Polop; it was 610A giving him top pair.

The turn 6 gave Kelsall a flush draw, but it didn’t come in on the river. The river was the 10 and Kelsall was eliminated.
