Normand and Kim Collide

Erick Torres

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Jackson began the hand with a raise to 18,000 from the hijack. Gabyong Kim decided to raise to 55,000 from the button. Derek Normand took an inventory of his stack before he eventually chose to go all-in for 123,000 from the big blind.

Jackson folded, but Kim called to put Normand at risk.

Derek Normand: A♥K♥ All in
Gabyong Kim: 9♦9♠

Kim held the slight edge before the runout, but the flop obliterated that lead as it came 6♦2♦A♣ to give Normand top pair.

The 3♠ turn and 10♦ river completed the board to give Normand a double.

Jackson was left with a short stack following the fold and was eliminated shortly after the hand.

Action checked through on the 8♠ turn card.

The river was the Q♦, Vu led out for 31,000. Michael Wasserman took a long time before sticking in the call with 7♦7♣, which was superior to Vu's 5♥2♦

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Frank Marasco opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from late position. Marc Karger then shoved for 26,000 in the cutoff, and both of the blinds tanked before eventually getting out of the way. Marasco stuck in the call.

Marc Karger: A♣K♠ All in
Frank Marasco: 10♣9♠

Karger was dead by the turn, as the 8♠7♦2♦J♦4♠ runout had him banging the desk in frustration as he got up to leave.

Stanislav Barshak: 2♠2♥ All in
Adam Saven: 9♠9♣

No deuce on the Q♥3♥6♥K♠8♣ runout and Saven was pushed the pot for a full double up.

Liu Runs Into Mendes

Erick Torres

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Xiaohu Liu got all his chips in the middle from under the gun and was called by Marcelo Giordano Mendes from middle position to put Liu at risk.

Xiaohu Liu: A♣Q♦ All in
Marcelo Giordano Mendes: A♥A♦

Liu held a formidable hand, but Mendes held the best starting hand possible, which was going to make it difficult for Liu to stay alive in the tournament.

The flop came 3♣8♠4♦, which did not offer much for Liu, and the K♥ turn and the 10♦ river were the final two cards of his tournament.
