Wirjo Knocks Out Two

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chris Hundley had three-bet all in from the small blind for around 120,000. Jonathan Wirjo, the initial raiser, rejammed in middle position, and Andreas Hole called off his stack of 225,000 from the hijack.

Chris Hundley: A♥A♦J♠3♠ All in
Andreas Hole: A♠8♣5♠2♥ All in
Jonathan Wirjo: A♣Q♥4♥3♣

Hundley's aces remained ahead on the 4♦2♦9♦ flop and 9♠ turn, but the 4♠ river gave Wirjo trip fours. The players slowly realized Wirjo had the best hand, and they left the tournament area soon after.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Tomasz Gluszko had made it 56,000 under the gun when Bryce Yockey three-bet to 187,000 in the next seat over.

It folded back to Gluszko, who gave it some thought before jamming all in for 228,000. Yockey made a quick call for the remaining chips, and the pair showed down.

Tomasz Gluszko: A♠9♦3♦2♦ All in
Bryce Yockey: A♥J♠4♠2♣

Yockey made a pair on the 4♥10♣8♠ flop, while the 6♥ turn gave both players the nut low. The Q♥ river did not change anything as Gluszko pushed half his stack to Yockey.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jake Schwartz limped in from middle position, Bryce Yockey limped behind from the cutoff, Yehuda Buchalter called from the small blind and Renji Mao checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 5♥9♦9♣. Buchalter checked, Mao bet 30,000, Schwartz folded, Yockey called and Buchalter folded.

Mao check-called a 35,000 bet from Yockey on the 5♣ turn before both players checked the K♥ river. Mao turned over trips with A♠7♥6♥5♠ and Yockey mucked.

Vallimont Squeezed Out

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jerome Solomon

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chris Vallimont, short-stacked at the table between two players with significantly more chips, went all in with his mere 78,000 chips. Maxx Coleman and Nitesh Rawtani raised into a massive side pot.

Chris Vallimont: A♥8♦7♣6♦ All in
Maxx Coleman: A♠Q♦5♥3♠ All in
Nitesh Rawtani: A♦K♠6♣2♣

The runout of J♠5♦7♠10♣3♦ led to Rawtani and Coleman pulling their chips back — ace-deuce low for Rawtani and two pair for high for Coleman — and them splitting the last of Vallimont's chips.

Nitesh Rawtani	915,000 20,000	20,000
Maxx Coleman	450,000 10,000	10,000

Kyte Falls

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Most of Jon Kyte's 132,000 chips had already gone in before the flop. From the small blind, he committed the rest when the Q♥5♣8♣ flop was dealt. Rafael Nogueira made a quick call from early position to put him at risk.

Jon Kyte: A♠K♠5♦3♦ All in
Rafael Nogueira: A♥7♠7♥4♦

Kyte had plenty of outs for either part of the pot, but Nogueria's pair of sevens remained best on the J♠J♦ runout, eliminating Kyte from the tournament.
