Spirins Triples, Eibinger Gets the Side, Hall Dried Up

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

A preflop raising war broke out on Table 72 with three players getting all of their money in the middle preflop. Pavels Spirins was the shortest stack with just under 200,000 in front of him. Eibinger was also at risk for an additional 202,000 and Galen Hall had both players covered.

Pavels Spirins: A♣K♦All in
Matthias Eibinger: A♠Q♦All in
Galen Hall: 8♠8♦

The flop came 7♥4♠4♥ and Hall was still out front with the lone pair in the hand. The 5♣ on the turn changed nothing but the A♥ on the river got a reaction out of Hall after being rivered. Spirins tripled up, Eibinger scooped the side pot and Hall's heater came to an end.

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Charles Lehr had his remaining 79,000 chips in the middle pre-flop and was flipping against Joao Vieira.

The flop 2♠7♥4♣ was safe for Vieira, but Lehr found running trips on the A♦A♠ turn and river to double up.

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kevin Rabichow raised under the gun to 8,000, the player on the button called and when action got to Killian Desnos in the big blind, he moved all in for 68,000.

Rabichow responded by moving all in himself which prompted the player on the button to fold.

Killian Desnos: 10♣10♠ All in
Kevin Rabichow: A♦8♦

A promising situation for Desnos soon turned bleak as the dealer fanned out the 2♦A♠5♠ flop.

The turn 9♥ and river J♣ were no help to Desnos and he headed to the exit.

Zeng Sends Chidwick to the Rail

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

It was a classic race of pair versus overcards when Linglin Zeng and Stephen Chidwick clashed preflop to put Chidwick at risk.

Stephen Chidwick: 9♣9♠All in
Linglin Zeng: A♥Q♣

Chidwick's nines lost the lead on the J♣Q♥5♣. The K♣2♠ turn and river did not offer any solace to knock out Chidwick.

Bujtas Claims a Victim

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Natividad was down to just 45,000 chips and pushed all in from under the gun. Laszlo Bujtas reshoved all in from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Robert Natividad: Q♦10♦All in
Laszlo Bujtas: 6♠6♥

The flop of 5♠3♥2♥ favored Bujtas with a pair of sixes and a straight draw. The 8♥ on the turn changed nothing and the 4♠ on the river only improved Bujtas to a straight, bouncing Natividad from the tournament.

Boat over Boat Sinks Matakis

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A raise to 8,000 by Anatoly Nikitin from under the gun began the action and led to calls from Ian Matakis and Tyler Cornell out of the big blind.

Cornell checked the flop of 10♣2♥4♦ before Nikitin fired 10,000. Matakis called, and Cornell folded.

Nikitin continued to bet on the 5♣ turn for 32,000, which was called by Matakis.

The 2♠ river paired the board. Nikitin sized up a bet of 100,000, which was met with an all-in from Matakis. Nikitin quickly called.

Matakis showed 4♣4♠ for a flopped set that turned into a full house in the river, but was dismayed to see the 5♠5♥ of Nikitn, who turned a higher set and rivered a better full house.

With roughly 30,000 chips already in the middle, Stephen Chidwick and Scott Margereson had been dealt a flop of Q♥2♦3♠.

Chidwick checked from the hijack, and Margereson placed out a bet of 9,000. Chidwick sprang into action, check-raising to 45,000, which Margereson called.

The 6♣ turn landed, and Chidwick executed another check-raise. This time, when checked to Margereson made a bet of 24,000, and Chidwick raised to 65,000. Margereson called, and the pot was getting substantial.

Chidwick didn't slow down on the Q♣ river, moving all in for his opponent's effective stack of 141,000. Margereson snapped, and the cards were tabled.

Scott Margereson: 5♠4♠ All in
Stephen Chidwick: A♦Q♠

Chidwick had rivered three of a kind, but Margereson already had the nut straight on the turn, which gave him the full double up.

On a board of K♠2♦9♦Q♦9♣, Landon Tice and Kristen Foxen had all the chips in the middle, with Foxen the player at risk.

Kristen Foxen: A♦J♦ All in
Landon Tice: K♦J♥

Foxen found the full double up, and Tice will have to wait to try and recover them, as he was moved to a new table just a few hands later.
