Kings Hold for Hafner

Robert Jones

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Lukas Hafner raised to 1,100,000 from middle position to be re-raised to 3,000,000 by Davis Aalvik on his immediate left. Hafner was ready to play for it all re-raising to ~6,000,000 and was beaten into the middle by Aalvik.

Lukas Hafner: K♦K♣
Davis Aalvik: A♣Q♥

No ace from space for Aalvik as the board ran out K♠Q♠6♥10♠10♦ and Hafner secured himself a crucial double-up to save his tournament life late in day two.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Michael Wilklow opened to 1,200,000 from early position and when it got to Astivan Batoo in the small blind, he put in an extra 400,000 thinking he was limping in. The dealer informed him there was a raise in front of him and offered the choice of folding or putting in the extra.

"Can I raise?" asked Batoo. The dealer denied his request and he eventually folded. Lukas Hafner was in the big blind and with just under 13,000,000 in his stack, he shoved. Wilklow took a few seconds before he called with a covering stack.

Lukas Hafner: 4♥4♠ All in
Michael Wilklow: 10♥10♣

Hafner was looking for a four, but couldn't find one as the 2♣7♣7♠5♠8♥ runout meant his tournament life sailed away at the hands of Wilklow.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Wilklow	29,000,000 2,150,000	2,150,000

Astivan Batoo	12,000,000 5,000,000	5,000,000

Jamey Mckay raised from the button, and Eric Revak made the all-in call for 2,450,000 chips.

Eric Revak: 10♦9♦ All in
Jamey Mckay: Q♠K♣

Revak took the lead on the flop of 10♥A♣A♦, then McKay made a straight with J♦ on the turn.

Revak had outs and he found one with the [10s on the river, giving him a full house and a nice boost in chips.

Jerome Solomon

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

George Tatalovich went all in from the cutoff and after a player folded out of turn, Tuan Pham took a while before deciding to risk his tournament life. He went all in for less, with his final 6 million chips.

Tuan Pham: A♣10♥ All in
George Tatalovich: K♠K♥

Tatalovich's kings held on a board of 4♣8♣4♦10♦2♥. Pham said he was frustrated by the loss and believe the out-of-turn fold affected his decision.

Robert Jones

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Erwin Banzon in middle position went all-in for 5,000,000. Action folded to Jesse Yaginuma in the big blind who made the call.

Erwin Banzon: J♦8♦
Jesse Yaginuma: K♠Q♦

On a flop of 9♥8♣6♥, Banzon took the advantage, a 3♠ did not help Yaginuma's chances on the turn, but after the K♦ was peeled off on the river, Banzon's tournament run was over, while Yaginuma found very important chips heading into the closing levels of the day.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Weizheng Zhong opened to 1,700,000 under the gun and got called by Yu Hsiang Huang two seats to his left. Michael Page, however, had other things in mind and jammed all-in for 3,000,000 sending Zhong to the tank when action went back to him.

Zhong finally made the call and so did Huang sending all three to see the flop.

Zhong and Huang checked all through the runout of K♠6♦3♠2♠J♦. All hands were tabled - Page with Q♦Q♣, Zhong with A♦8♦ and Huang 10♦10♥.

Page's queens held and faded all three streets against his big stacked opponents for a nice triple up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yu Hsiang Huang	33,500,000 7,300,000	7,300,000
Weizheng Zhong	22,000,000 6,000,000	6,000,000

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Nellie Park had her stack of around 13,000,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Robert Rothstein.

Nellie Park: J♥J♦ All in
Robert Rothstein: 6♠6♥

Park had the best of it with her pocket jacks, but things soon turned in Rothstein's favor as the 6♣2♣5♠ flop gave him a set of sixes. No jacks appeared on the 10♦3♣ runout, and Park was sent to the payout desk.

Myles Phago

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Malcolm Trayner moved all in under the gun for his last 2,500,000, and George Tatalovich called from the small blind as did Elliott Kampen in the big blind.

Both active players checked the Q♠Q♦3♦ flop as well as the J♠ turn. The river brought the 8♠ and Tatalovich bet out for 3,000,000.

Kampen folded and Tatalovich tabled A♠J♥ for top pair but was shocked to see Trayner turn over 10♠7♠ for a rivered flush and he was pushed the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Elliott Kampen	48,500,000 9,500,000	9,500,000
George Tatalovich	30,000,000 6,200,000	6,200,000
Malcolm Trayner	9,900,000 5,250,000	5,250,000
