Bujtas Sends Three

Robert Jones

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 10,000 from the cutoff. Jan Jachtmann called from the button, and Chad Eveslage called from the small blind.

The flop came out 8♠5♥3♦ and Eveslage check-called a bet of 25,000.

The 3♠ turn also led to Eveslage check-calling, but this time it was a bet of 33,000 chips.

Bujtas did not slow down on the K♣ river and forced Eveslage all-in with a bet of ~200,000 on the river. After a couple of time banks Eveslage elected to fold his hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Laszlo Bujtas	940,000 675,500	675,500
Chad Eveslage	200,000 89,000	89,000

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Bryce Yockey and Ayaz Mahmood were heads-up in a pot with the flop reading 10♣4♥3♥. Yockey led out with a bet of 50,000 from the small blind and Mahmood raised to 150,000 in the cutoff. Yockey three-bet shoved all in for 476,000 and Mahmood quickly called.

Bryce Yockey: A♣10♥ All in
Ayaz Mahmood: K♥10♠

Yockey held the better kicker in what turned into a chip-leading pot late on Day 1. The J♣ hit the turn and the A♠ on the river to give Yockey two pair and a double up.

One hand later, Mahmood got the last of his chips in the middle with pocket tens but ran into the ace-jack of Sam Soverel. An ace on the turn locked up the pot for Soverel and Mahmood went from riches to rags.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Gabriel Shohet limped in from under the gun which invited Stephen Chidwick, Dario Sammartino, and Yuri Dzivielevski to all come along for cheap. The flop came Q♣8♥2♦ and the action checked around to the 3♦ on the turn.

Dzivielvski led out with a bet of 6,000 which Shohet called. Chidwick raised the pot to 39,000 and Sammartino quickly folded. Dzivielvski called and Shohet also folded.

The river was the 10♦ and both players checked after a pause. Dzivielvski announced two pair but Chidwick tabled K♦Q♠J♥8♦ for a flush to scoop another pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Chino Rheem and John Pannucci were heads-up in a pot with around 60,000 in the middle and a flop of 8♣7♦5♣. After a bet and a couple of raises, the two players had all of their chips in the middle with Rheem at risk for around 240,000.

Chino Rheem: Q♠Q♥ All in
John Pannucci: A♣A♦

Rheem needed to find a queen but was unable to do so on the 7♠, 9♣ runout which led to his elimination.

Next door, Noah Schwartz four-bet shoved all in for around 85,000 and was called by Shannon Shorr on his left. Schwartz held K♥Q♥ but was up against the A♣J♣ of Shorr.

The board ran out J♠9♠7♣5♣4♥ to give Shorr a pair of jacks and eliminate Schwartz.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

No-Limit Holdem

The action folded to John Pannucci on the button who made it 9,000. Next to act, Mitchell Hynam went all-in for 35,000. Joao Simao called from the big blind, and John Pannucci went all-in to put Simao's ~115,000 at risk. Simao made the call and they were off to see five.

Mitchell Hynam: K♣10♦ All in
Joao Simao: A♥Q♥ All in
John Pannucci: A♣Q♠

The flop of A♠4♣2♣ was a good one for both players holding ace-queen, but the J♣ made things scary for Simao. The 7♣ peeled off on the river which was music to Pannucci's ears, as he sent two to the rail and chips up close to half a million.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Three players were in the hand on a board of J♥10♦7♦K♠ with around 35,000 in the middle. The action checked to Ayaz Mahmood on the button who bet 35,000. Bryce Yockey check-raised to 140,000 which got Danny Tang to fold but Mahmood re-shoved all in for around 600,000. Yockey called but wasn't happy about it.

"I don't have any redraw," Yockey said.

"Me neither," Mahmood touted back.

"Whew!!!" Yockey said with a swipe of the brow.

Both players turned over AxQxXxXx and chopped the pot on the 7♣ river.

No-Limit Hold'em

Christopher Frank raised to 6,000 on the button and Keith Lehr three-bet to 22,000 from the small blind. Frank responded with a four-bet shove and Lehr called off his stack of 149,000.

Keith Lehr: 9♣9♦ All in
Christopher Frank: A♠K♥

It was a coin flip and the flop of 10♣7♠3♠ left Lehr in the lead with his pocket pair. The 4♣ and J♦ runout changed nothing and Frank passed over a double up, leaving himself on a short stack.
