Four Ways to the Flop; Garza is Saved

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Zachary Hudson kicked things off by limping from the cutoff. Marcus Shepard limped behind from the button. Raul Garza called the small blind and Ashira Lavine checked the big blind, taking the players four ways to the flop.

The dealer placed the K36 and Shepard checked. Lavine bet 1,600,000 which got three folds, leaving Lavine to pick up a small pot.

In the next hand, Raul Garza open-jammed for his remaining 700,000 stack. Lavine called the small blind for the minimum 1,200,000 blind and Sergei Petrushevskii checked the big blind.

The flop came 2Q2 and Lavine check-folded after Petrushevskii bet the flop, leaving Petrushevskii and Garza to go heads-up.

Raul Garza: Q8All in
Sergei Petrushevskii: Q10

Petrushevskii was head with the better kicker, but the J turn saved Garza, and send them to a chop after seeing the 4 river.

A player commended "chop, saved by the deck" as Garza more than doubled his stack from the hand.

Danny Olejniczak opened from under the gun to 4,000,000. Jeffrey Valenti three-bet jammed for 9,000,000.

Olejniczak took some time before saying "I hope you have nothing", and moved chips over the line to make the call.

Jeffrey Valenti: A10All in
Danny Olejniczak: 66

Olejniczak was ahead until Valenti picked two pair on the A810 flop.

The turn brought a 6, bringing in a set for Olejniczak, putting him back ahead. A couple of players at the table let out a "wow" in disbelief.

The 10 river went Valenti's way again, giving him the fuller boat.

Valenti secured the double up after the rollercoaster of a hand.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sigrid Dencker was first to act and raised to 1,000,000. Matt Glantz then pushed in his stack of 21,800,000 from the hijack, and Meshesha Truesaw called his last 7,200,000 off in the small blind.

Denkcer went into the tank, confirming the stacks of both opponents before settling on a fold.

Meshesha Truesaw: AQ All in
Matt Glantz: AK

Glantz's domination grew further when he flopped a flush draw on 5A2. Neither the 6 turn nor the 9 river provided help to Truesaw, securing his elimination.
