Vitch Scoops a Massive One; Carpenter and Woods Gone

Liam Gannon

Level 21

Limit: 6,000/12,000 Blinds, 12,000-24,000 Limits
Pot-Limit: 6,000 Ante, 3,000/6,000 Blinds, 12,000-21,000 Pot Limit Raise

Omaha Hi-Lo

Chris Vitch opened from under the gun and Daquon Wilson called in the hijack. In the cutoff James Woods three-bet, prompting Troy Carpenter to four-bet, which Vitch called. Wilson capped it and Woods, Carpenter, and Vitch all called.

The flop of K♣8♥8♠ checked through to the turn 7♠ where Vitch bet and both Wilson and Woods called. Carpenter raised all in for 64,000 total which Vitch responded to by raising once more over his bet. Wilson pitched his cards but Woods called to create a side pot between the two of them.

On the 9♣ river, Vitch bet and Woods sighed.

"I would have bet any amount of money that a nine would come off," Woods lamented as he tossed his hand into the muck.

Troy Carpenter: A♠Q♥10♥2♠ All in
Chris Vitch: A♣8♣5♦3♣

Vitch's three eights were good for the pot to eliminate Carpenter and push Vitch up towards the top of the chip counts.

Shortly after, Vitch took the rest of Woods' chips.

Big O

Three ways on a flop of 8♥8♦7♠, James Woods checked from the small blind and Christopher Alcindor bet 35,000. Daquon Wilson folded on the button and Woods called.

The A♥ fell on the turn and Woods shoved for approximately 100,000 total. Alcindor asked for a count and tanked a bit before eventually calling to put Woods at risk.

James Woods: A♣Q♠6♣3♦2♦ All in
Christopher Alcindor: A♦7♥5♦5♣4♥

Woods held the lead with a better ace and a low, and the 9♣ river changed nothing to award Woods the double up.

At another table, defending champion Magnus Edengren was eliminated.

Jennifer Kraber: A♠A♥K♣Q♣ All in
Federico Ottenio: A♣K♠Q♠2♣

The board ran out 8♥7♠2♥10♠K♥ and the kings up was good for Ottenio to scoop the pot and Kraber exited the tournament.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor was in the big blind and had already shoved for approximately 250,000 on a flop of 8♠10♦6♣. Her lone opponent, Abdyl Konjuhi, called from early position after tanking for a bit to put Taylor at risk.

Esther Taylor: Q♠J♠8♦6♦ All in
Abdyl Konjuhi: A♠Q♥10♥3♣

Taylor held the lead with two pair, but the A♦10♠ runout improved Konjuhi to tens-full of aces to send Taylor to the rail.

Big O

Derek Bugg opened to 16,000 from early position and just behind him, Rafael Nogueira raised pot. Action folded back to Bugg, who raised pot again to put Nogueira all in. Nogueira called and hands were revealed.

Rafael Nogueira: A♣A♦J♦9♣7♠ All in
Derek Bugg: A♠K♦5♠4♥2♠

Nogueira held aces, but the 3♠2♦2♣ flop vaulted Bugg into the lead with trip deuces.

Neither the 9♠ turn nor the 10♥ river changed anything and Bugg was awarded the rest of Nogueira's chips.
