Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In the pot were around 177,000. The flop showed 9♥Q♠9♣. Dawn Mougel was already all in, and Serozh Arutyunyan checked in the big blind position to Anthony Ibrahim, who was sitting in the middle position and led out a bet of 20,000. Arutyunyan made the call.

On the 7♠ turn, it was again Ibrahim who fired another bet, this time for 53,000. But Arutyunyan decided to check-raise to 128,000. Ibrahim checked his cards multiple times before he made the call.

When the dealer turned the 2♣, Arutyunyan took the lead and fired a hefty bet of 256,000. Ibrahim took his time, weighing his options, but decided to fold, leading to a showdown between Mougel and Arutyunyan. Mougle had 7♥5♥ for two pair nines and sevens but Arutyunyan turned K♠K♦ for two pair kings and nines and scooped the sizeable main and sifepot, sending Mougel to the rail.

Alexander Greenblatt raised on the button to 20,000 and Alexander Greenblatt announced, "All in" in the small blind; the big blind folded. Greenblatt asked for a count, which was 116,000, and determined the risk was worth it for a call.

Jonathan Lundy: K♦Q♠ All in
Alexander Greenblatt: A♣8♦

The board came out with 2♠5♥Q♦J♥9♣, and Lundy hit top pair for the much-needed double.

Felix Weis moved all in from middle position for his last 43,000, and David Coleman responded with a three-bet to around 200,000 from the cutoff. Pablo Garcia, sitting on the button, thought for a moment before shoving as well, and the cards were turned up.

Felix Weis: 9♠9♣All in
Pablo Garcia: A♣10♣All in
David Coleman: A♦8♦

The board ran out J♠7♠5♥J♥2♣, and Weis’ pocket nines held strong to earn him the triple-up. Garcia’s ace-ten was enough to beat Coleman’s ace-eight, so he secured a double-up with his remaining 136,000 behind. Coleman, meanwhile, was left with the short end of the pot.

Johnny Chen: A♥K♥

Scott Lake raised to 20,000 from under the gun. Matthias Auer then moved all in for 94,000, putting himself at risk on the money bubble of Event #29. The rest of the table folded, and Lake called.

Matthias Auer: A♦K♥ All in
Scott Lake: J♦J♥

Auer was drawing thin when the dealer spread a J♣7♥2♠ flop. The turn K♦ and river Q♣ were not enough, and Auer was sent to the rail in the position every tournament player dreads, the bubble boy.

Rampage Survives Bubble

Ethan Yau was short-stacked coming into today's event with only 73,000 in chips, about 7 big blinds, but that did not stop him from creating action on hand 1 of hand-for-hand on the bubble.

Yau raised from under the gun to 63,000, leaving a few chips behind. Everyone else folded, and Hratch Mkrtumyan moved all of his chips into the middle for 427,000. Yau jokingly stated, "I think if I win, I will get all those chips".

Ethan Yau: A♠K♠ All in
Hratch Mkrtumyan: Q♠Q♦

The board went 4♠3♦2♣ and Yau picked up a few more outs with a straight draw, but that was unnecessary when the turn 8♥ and the river A♣ fell, and a pair of aces was enough to keep Yau aka Rampage alive and kicking.
