Lefebvre Doubles his Very Short Stack

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Lefebvre had been folding very patiently with a very short stack and moved all in prior to the bubble bursting with only 3,000 chips from early position. Michael Rossitto was in middle position and made it 15,00,0, and Xiaohu Liu called from the big blind.

The flop came out with 5KQ, and Liu checked into Rossitto, who put out a bet of 10,000. Liu three-bet to 25,000 and Rossitto folded, and Liu won a. 42,000 side pot.

Daniel Lefebvre: KK All in
Xiaohu Liu: J8

The turn 7 and the river 8 were of no consequence, and Lefebvre's patience paid off with a win.

Wang's Aces No Match for Lonis Run-Good

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Hand-for-hand action was picked up with Yuzhu Wang all in and at risk from early position for 334,000 against Jesse Lonis in the big blind.

Yuzhu Wang: AA All in
Jesse Lonis: 65

As the players waited for the hand to play out, Lonis told Wang, "You have my flush covered. I'm basically dead." The reverse jinx worked as the dealer spread an ice-cold flop of J65. Wang remained in good spirits despite his tournament life hanging in the balance. Unfortunately for him, the dealer provided no assistance on the K turn or Q river, eliminating Wang on the soft bubble.

Yohwan Lim open-shoved preflop from the cutoff with 158,000. In the big blind, Andreas Kniep went into the tank, just three places away from the money. He had only 52,000 chips left.

He decided to fold and showed his AxKx. The rest of the table asked Lim to show his cards, but he declined this request and laughed while taking his chips from the middle.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was three-way to the 1083 flop, where Joey Weissman and Michael Vanier checked from the blinds.

Geng made the call and the 9 turn was revealed. Both players checked and the dealer flipped over the 8 river.

Weissman took some time before checking, and Geng checked back. Weissman showed K3 for two pair, eights and threes. Geng tabled QQ for a better two pair to claim the pot.
