Adam Lamers

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Zhargal Tsydypov opened to 25,000 in the hijack and Oliver Weis called on the button. Yang Wang three-bet to 105,000 from the big blind and both Tsydypov and Weis called. The flop came Q♥9♠6♣ and Wang shoved all in for his last 180,000 which got Tsydypov to fold but Weis made the call.

Yang Wang: A♠A♣10♦5♠ All in
Oliver Weis: Q♣J♥9♦7♦

Weis flopped two pair to take the lead against Wang's pocket aces. The 2♦ on the turn and the K♦ on the river changed nothing, sending Wang to the rail.

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

John Riordan open-shoved on the button for 72,000, and Eric Wasserson, next to act, called. The big blind folded.

John Riordan: Q♠10♦ All in
Eric Wasserson: A♠J♥

Riordan took the lead, flopping top pair on 6♠9♠10♠, but importantly, Wasserson had the A♠ spade in his hand.

The 3♠ turn sealed the deal, and Riordan had tapped the table and stood up before the mandatory 4♣ river had even been dealt.

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Seth Davies raised to 35,000 from under the gun and was called by Ognyan Dimov on his left and Phil Ivey in the big blind. The flop fell J♥3♠2♥ and Ivey shipped all in for his last 50,000. Davies reshoved all in for 179,000 and Dimov called to put both players at risk.

Phil Ivey: Q♦J♦6♥5♠ All in
Seth Davies: K♥8♦7♥4♦ All in
Ognyan Dimov: A♦J♠9♦6♠

The turn brought the Q♥ to give Davies a flush but Ivey still had outs with two pair. However, the 2♦ on the river paired the wrong card and Ivey was eliminated, while Davies more than doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Seth Davies	520,000 180,000	180,000

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Christian Harder raised the pot to 28,000 in early position and Levon Khachatryan called from a couple of seats over. They went heads-up to a flop of A♣8♣3♦ and Harder potted again with a bet of 76,000. Khachatryan shoved all in and Harder called off his stack of 122,000.

Christian Harder: A♦K♥K♠Q♥ All in
Levon Khachatryan: K♣J♦9♣9♦

Harder flopped top pair but Khachatryan had a flush draw to hit. He also picked up a straight draw on the 7♥ turn card but the Q♦ on the river only improved Harder to two pair. Khachatryan was left with just 20,000 after the hand and was eliminated shortly after.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

An action-packed pre-flop saw a limp from the hijack before the button raised to 27,000. Jared Bleznick elected to call in the small blind only to see the big blind, Chad Eveslage, pot to 114,000. The hijack and button got out of the way, but Bleznick called again.

Bleznick then took over the betting lead, putting his opponent all in on the 10♠5♣8♣ flop. Eveslage called, and players flipped their cards.

Chad Eveslage: A♥A♦9♠5♥ All in
Jared Bleznick: 10♥8♠7♣6♦

The turn Q♣ and river K♣ were no help to Eveslage as Bleznick pulled in the pot with two pair.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Picking up the action on the 6♣2♣K♣ flop, with 290,000 chips in the middle. 90,000 of those chips were the maximum Eric Lindgren could win as he was all in. The other 200,000 chips were a side pot between Tsugunari Toma and Stephen Chidwick.

Toma, in the small blind, had been the final aggressor preflop and continuation-bet for 107,000. Chidwick called, and the players saw the 4♥ turn. Toma elected to check this time, and Chidwick took over the betting, placing a wager of 180,000. Toma didn't take too long before folding.

Erick Lindgren: J♠3♠ All in
Stephen Chidwick: A♣Q♣

Chidwick had the nut flush and Lindgren was drawing dead. The inconsequential river rolled off the 5♥ as Lindgren headed to the exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Laszlo Bujtas opened to 11,000 from under the gun and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came Q♠8♦6♣ and Bujtas continued with a bet of 20,000 which only Corel Theuma called from the big blind.

The 8♠ paired the board on the turn and Theuma ripped all in for a little over 100,000. Bujtas snap-called and tabled Q♣Q♦ for a full house. Theuma flipped over 6♠2♣ for a measly two pair and was eliminated on the A♣ river.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

In back-to-back engagements between Sean Perry and Bryce Yockey, where Perry came out on top in the first encounter, they were back at it again. Yockey raised to 18,000 in middle position and Perry called from the big blind. The flop came K♥6♠4♦ and Perry shoved all in for his last 24,000. Yockey quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Sean Perry: A♠10♠10♦8♦ All in
Bryce Yockey: Q♣Q♦9♥4♥

Yockey was currently in front with his pair of queens and Perry took out his phone to start filming the runout. The turn and river both bricked out and Yockey reclaimed his chips.

"Nobody cares about a 40k pot," Shaun Deeb pointed out to his adversary.

"I bet more people care about me, than they do about you," Perry touted back.

"There's only one person who cares about you...your mother," Deeb said to end the spouting match.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Sam Soverel raised to 18,000 on the button and Zachary Grech three-bet from the small blind. Soverel four-bet shoved all in and Grech quickly called off his stack of around 200,000.

Zachary Grech: K♠Q♣10♠9♦ All in
Sam Soverel: A♥A♣3♣2♦

The flop came 8♥5♣4♠ and Soverel's pair of aces were still looking strong. The turn was the K♦ to give Grech some hope, but the river bricked out, sending the pot to Soverel and eliminating Grech.
