Klopf Knocked Out in Three-Way All-In

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Santtu Leinonen shoved from the hijack for 5,075,000, and Danny Olejniczak made the call from the cutoff. Matthew Klopf called in the small blind for his last 1,925,000 for Carlos Caldas to tank in the big blind. He glanced over to Olejniczak's stack, who had 6,525,000 behind. After a while, he reluctantly folded but showed he held the 1010.

Matthew Klopf: 99 All in
Santtu Leinonen: KQ All in
Danny Olejniczak: AQ

The board ran out QJKJ8 for Leinonen to flop top two pair to bust Klopf and earn a full double-up through Olejniczak.

Machado and Ethier Eliminated Before the Break

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Albert Ethier was all in, sitting to his opponent's Antonio Trocoli Filho's direct left.

Albert Ethier: KxJxAll in
Antonio Trocoli Filho: AJ

Filho let out a loud "yesssss" when we saw the QA8 flop. Ethier wasn't saved by the 8 4 completers, and he was eliminated with around 60 players remaining.

In the next hand on the same table, Vaughan Machado was all in and at risk from a middle position against Rena Varghese in the small blind.

Vaughan Machado: J9All in
Rena Varghese: AK

Varghese only improved on the 2KQ flop, but it brought in the sweat of a straight draw for Machado.

Machado was eliminated after the dealer placed the 7 turn and Q river.

Grayr Zograbyan
Grayr Zograbyan

Ramaswamy Pyloore opened to 1,200,000. preflop Grayr Zograbyan then pushed in his remaining 5,225,000, and Julio Torres called off his stack of 3,500,000.

Pyloore did some maths before concluding his price was too good, and he made the call.

Julio Torres: AQ All in
Grayr Zograbyan: AK All in
Ramaswamy Pyloore: 33

Torres and Zograbyan had counterfeit outs after the 488 flop and 5 turn, but the 9 river remained clean for Pyloore's small pair, scooping another multi-way all-in pot.

Trianosky Flipped Out

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Ashira Lavine open-raised to 1,200,000 from middle position. The action folded to Paul Trianosky in the big blind, who shoved all in for 7,450,000. After a while in the tank, Lavine decided to call, covering her opponent by 1,000,000.

Paul Trianosky: AK All in
Ashira Lavine: 99

Lavine requested the nine of hearts in the window, but she did not need it as the J66J2 runout did not help Trianosky, eliminating him from the tournament.

David Pham was all in from a late position and up against Andrew Dennis in the small blind, both with very similar stack sizes. The cards were already on their backs.

Andrew Dennis: AKAll in
David Pham: AA

Dennis couldn't crack Pham's Aces as they were dealt a 47Q92 board.

The dealer counted the stacks and Dennis was only "1/4 short" of Pham's stack, eliminating him from the tournament with around 65 players remaining.

Fogg Pondering Life's Questions

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

It folded to Mark Tornai in the small blind, who shoved all in. Aaron Fogg only had 1,800,000 remaining in the big blind, and he started thinking out loud.

"Do I even have a choice?" he wondered. After some seconds, he concluded he was left without a choice, and committed his final chips to the middle.

Aaron Fogg: Q5 All in
Mark Tornai: AQ

Fogg was left with only two outs after the 36QJ turn added a flush draw to Tornai's arsenal, and they failed to come in on the J river, eliminating him from the COLOSSUS.

In the last hand of the previous level, Alexandre Zampieri opened to 1,000,000 from early position. Wesley Cannon then shoved all in for 12,000,000 from the cutoff, and Tom Verbruggen came over the top in the big blind.

Zampieri quickly moved out of the way, creating a heads up showdown.

Wesley Cannon: AK All in
Tom Verbruggen: JJ

The board ran out an inconsequential 564Q8. Cannon failed to pair up, being sent to the rail by Verbruggen's jacks.
