Keokham Rivers Straight to Stay Alive

Erick Torres

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

It appeared grim for Phovieng Keokham when he jammed from under the gun and was called by the chip leader Shaun Colquhoun in middle position.

Phovieng Keokham: Q♠J♦ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: Q♥Q♦

Colquhoun had Keokham in rough shape, but a flop of 9♦6♥8♠ gave Keokham some hope with a gutshot to a straight.

The 7♥ turn did not change anything, but Keokham found lightning in a bottle when the 10♦ rolled over on the river, giving him a straight to crack Colquhoun's queens.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With action folded to the blinds, Michael Coombs raised to 1,000,000 from the small blind and Francois Truong, covered by the bet, made the call.

Francois Truong: 10♠10♥ All in
Michael Coombs: K♣8♥

Although Coombs hit middle pair on the 9♠8♣7♠ flop, Truong's pocket tens held up. The runout of 3♥4♣ didn't help Coombs, giving Truong a much needed double.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Shaun Colquhoun made it 100,000 to go from under the gun and Angelo Perez jammed from the big blind for 170,000. Colquhoun called.

Angelo Perez: 7♣6♣ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: K♥9♦

If Colquhoun could hold with king-high, then the remaining players would be on the unofficial final table.

The flop came down Q♣J♥7♦ to put Perez in the lead with a pair of sevens. The Q♥ on the turn gave Colquhoun some extra outs, and he managed to find one on the J♣ river. Colquhoun counterfeited Perez's pair of sevens, and only ten remained.

Erick Torres

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Shaun Colquhoun's surge continued as he sent Jeremy Geist packing.

Colquhoun opened the action with a raise to 150,000 from early position.

Geist peeked at his cards and chose to commit the rest of his stack for a total of 450,000.

Colquhoun pushed a call to the middle creating a showdown in the late stages of the tournament.

Jeremy Geist: A♥Q♦ All in
Shaun Colquhoun: A♦5♦

Geist was in a prime position to double up but the flop of 3♥4♣A♣ gave Colquhoun a gutshot to the wheel.

The 3♠ turn was safe for Geist, but the 2♣ river sunk his hand eliminating him in 12th place. Geist earned $3,074 for his finish.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alyssa Hennager shoved all-in for around 530,000 from the small blind after Rick Muniz opened for 250,000 in late position. Both players headed to showdown with Hennager at risk.

Alyssa Hennager: 7♥7♣ All in
Rick Muniz: A♣Q♦

Muniz immediately spiked an ace on the flop of A♠3♣8♥ making Hennager stand up from her seat seemingly ready to leave. The dealer completed the board with J♣ on the turn and 6♥ on the river. Hennager headed to claim her cash prize as Muniz added the pot to his stack.
