Wood Doubles Through Sitbon

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brice Wood moved all in for his last 69,000 chips from middle position, and the action folded around to Julien Sitbon in the big blind. After a brief moment of consideration, Sitbon made the call.

Brice Wood: A4All in
Julien Sitbon: 82

The flop came 564, giving Sitbon some backdoor possibilities, but the K turn and J river brought no improvement. “One more,” Sitbon said to the dealer with a grin, but it was Wood who scored the double-up.

Shenmolesky Doubles Through Wong

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Maxwell Shenmolesky open-shoved from the cutoff. Frederic Normand in the small blind took a while before folding, leading Danny Wong to snap him off from the big blind.

Maxwell Shenmolesky A8 All in
Danny Wong K7

The J85 flop took away some of Wong’s outs, before the 6 turn gifted him a whole lot more. However, the 6 on the river helped him not.

Rabichow Eliminated

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Artem Metalidi opened under the gun, and Gabriel Andrade called in early position. Frank Brannan then went all in from the small blind, and Kevin Rabichow called all in from the big blind for very few remaining chips.

Metalidi thought for a while, and the idea of potentially collecting a bounty seemed to entice him. He eventually folded as did Andrade.

Kevin Rabichow: Q9 All in
Frank Brannan: QQ

On the KK735 runout, Brannan took down the pot and the bounty, and Rabichow was knocked out.

Diego Sanchez Serrano: AQ
Yuya Kita: K3

The flop landed 56K to give Kita a big lead and the board finished out 78 to mark Serrano's elimination.

Paur Claims the Pot with Two Pair on a Tricky Board

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Taylor Paur opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 16,000 and picked up two callers: Josh Reichard in the cutoff and Yifu He in the big blind.

The flop came 8JA, and all three players opted to check.

On the 9 turn, Paur took the lead with a bet of 40,000. Reichard gave it some thought before making the call, while He quickly check-folded.

The K river slowed the action down as Paur carefully checked. Reichard checked behind, and the hand went to showdown. Paur revealed J9 for two pair, jacks and nines, enough to claim the pot on a fairly dangerous board.

Kanit Down to Crumbs

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit, in early position, opened to 16,000. Ronald Sullivan flatted in the hijack, before the players instantly faced a three-bet from cutoff Jordan Siegel, to the tune of 52,000. Action folded round to Kanit, who promptly shoved for his remaining 246,000 chips.

Sullivan postured, before placing in his remaining 218,000, and Siegel reluctantly relinquished his cards, before Sullivan revealed his perfectly set trap.

Ronald Sullivan KK All in
Mustapha Kanit AK
Kanit received neither an ace from space, nor Sullivan’s mystery bounty ticket.

Miegel Doubles Through Shorr

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jakob Miegel was all-in for 102,000 from the hijack and at risk for his tournament life as he was called and covered by Shannon Shorr in the big blind with the bigger stack.

Jakob Miegel: QJ All in
Shannon Shorr: J8

The board ran out 53610A for Miegel to hold with the higher cards to double up with.

Scardina Out-Flopped by Normand

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Richard Scardina was all in against the bigger-stacked Frederic Normand.

Richard Scardina: K10 All in
Frederic Normand: J10

Scardina had his opponent dominated, but the flop landed AJ2 to give Normand a big lead before the board finished out 76 to mark his elimination.

Mermelstein Collects Bounty

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aaron Mermelstein opened from middle position to 18,000. He then faced a shove from Diego Sanchez. Mermelstein instantly called, and the cards were on their backs.

Diego Sanchez: AK All in
Aaron Mermelstein: QJ

The board ran out876Q8 and Mermelstein eliminated Sanchez. The bounties are creating an interesting dynamic, and perhaps we will see more players willing to take risks for the chance at collecting bounties, with eyes on the $250,000 top bounty prize.
