Kim Makes Accurate Call

Jerome Solomon

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Youhyun Kim went all in for 22,700 chips in the small blind. Kevin Mizrahi called from the cutoff.

Youhyun Kim: 2♠2♣ All in
Kevin Mizrahi: A♠Q♠

Kim predicted his doom prior to the dealer splaying the flop, and prescient he proved to be when 10♦Q♦Q♣ hit the board on the flop right after he said "Watch, queen, queen."

The turn and river K♥3♥ didn't deliver the deuce needed and Kim was eliminated.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With the flop reading 10♠9♠Q♥, Alexander Duvall moved all in on the button. Viacheslav Fentisov called from under the gun and Stanislav Halatenko went all in as well from the cutoff and Fentisov called.

Alexander Duvall: J♥9♥ All in
Stanislav Halatenko: 7♠6♠ All in
Viacheslav Fentisov: K♥K♠

Duvall had a pair of nines and an open-ended straight draw. Halatenko held a straight flush draw.

Fentisov had the best hand at the time with his pocket kings and a gutshot to the biggest straight among the trio.

The turn of the 3♣ didn't change anything. The river of the J♦ delivered the straight and a one-two knockout for Fentisov.

Myles Phago

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Sidney Hong raised from under the gun to 3,000, and action folded around to Andrei Roscan in the big blind, who moved all in for 23,500. Hong snap-called.

Andrei Roscan: A♦K♦ All in
Sidney Hong: A♣Q♣

The flop came 6♦8♦4♦ to give Roscan the nuts and what looked like a full double, but then the 7♦ fell on the turn to make things interesting, but surely not the 5♦ on the river........oh yes, it sure did peel off to make both players a straight flush playing the board.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sidney Hong	46,000 46,000	46,000
Andrei Roscan	23,500 23,500	23,500

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

UFC star Sean O'Malley was spotted in the field. O'Malley convinced his friend Daniel Allen to make the drive from Arizona to Las Vegas early this morning, hoping that one of them could capture WSOP gold and be back in Arizona tomorrow. Unfortunately, O'Malley has used both of his bullets and won’t be taking home the bracelet, but Allen is still in contention with over 100,000 and will look to continue building his stack as the day progresses.

Jerome Solomon

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Valentino Konakchiev raised on the turn with the board showing 7♥2♥8♦6♣. Mattingly Siegel made the call with less.

Mattingly Siegel: 7♣7♠ All in
Valentino Konakchiev: 10♦9♦

Siegel's set of sevens on the flop had been run down by Konakchiev's open-ended straight draw completing on the turn. Siegel needed the board to pair on the river to survive.

The Q♣ came and ended his tournament.
