Leblond and Li Hit the Rail

Kai Cocklin

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Benjamin Leblond made it 1,075,000 from middle position and Andrew Robinson three-bet to 1,800,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Leblond, he called off the remaining 500,000 he had behind.

Benjamin Leblond: K♦10♥ All in
Andrew Robinson: A♦Q♠

Leblond was looking to connect with the board, but the 7♥A♥7♠ flop left him drawing slim. A 6♥ on the turn did give him a flush draw, but the 9♣ river was of no use, and he was sent to the rail.

On the adjacent table, Jun Li just lost his stack to Duncan Horst, who now has around 9,000,000 to work with.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Geoffrey Coatar made the call of Ernest Hernandez' 1,200,000-chip all-in, and before seeing the cards he told Hernandez to prepare for a race.

"Put your running shoes on, baby."

Ernest Hernandez: 10♠10♣ All in
Geoffrey Coatar: Q♣J♠

The race went swiftly to Coatar, with top pair in the window and a second pair landing on the river through a rollout of Q♠2♦3♦9♠J♦.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Once action folded around to Jonathan Stoeber in the small blind, he went all-in covering Patrick Leonard's 1,500,000 chip stack. Leonard made the call.

Patrick Leonard: K♠4♥ All in
Jonathan Stoeber: 5♣4♦

The runout came K♣J♠3♦6♦7♣ with Stoeber going runner-runner for the straight; sending Leonard home while he built his chip stack over the 13,500,000 mark.

Naves Runs Into Fox's Cowboys

Kai Cocklin

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded around to Tauan Naves in the small blind, who shoved for around 2,000,000. Peter Fox was in the big blind and as soon as he looked at his cards, he called.

Tauan Naves: A♠5♥ All in
Peter Fox: K♣K♥

Fox woke up with the Cowboys, but Naves had the overcard and needed to spike it. The 6♣2♥6♥ flop didn't offer much in the way of assistance and the 7♣ turn left Naves with just three outs. None of those outs came on the 10♦ river, and Naves was out.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Gonzales	6,200,000 5,500,000	5,500,000
Peter Fox	5,500,000 2,420,000	2,420,000
William Kopp	3,500,000 1,300,000	1,300,000

John Avelino

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Michael Gilbert moved all in for 300,000, and Duncan Horst raised to 700,000. Vladimir Revniaga then moved all in 3,150,000. Shawn Buchanan made the call covering both stacks besides Horst. After a moment of deliberation Horst folded and the players flipped their cards.

Michael Gilbert: A♣10♣ All in
Vladimir Revniaga: K♠K♥ All in
Shawn Buchanan: Q♦Q♠

Revniaga was in the lead with his pair of kings heading to the flop. That changed quickly as the flop came 3♣Q♥5♣ giving the short-stacked Gilbert a nut flush draw.

A 2♦ peeled off on the turn and Buchanan still held the lead going to the river.

The cleanest 2♠ rolled off on the river and Buchanan delivered a double elimination, sending both players to collect their prize for their deep runs.

Player	Chips	Progress
Shawn Buchanan	11,200,000 800,000	800,000
Duncan Horst	8,500,000 500,000	500,000

Stoeber Claims Another Victim

Robert Jones

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Once the action folded to Timothy Su on the button he slid his 2,200,000 into the middle. Jonathan Stoeber re-raised all-in, the big blind folded, and the players were off to see a runout.

Timothy Su: A♠Q♠ All in
Jonathan Stoeber: J♠J♣

Once the flop came J♥8♥7♦ Su was drawing very thin, and the runout of A♥2♦ could not save him. Stoeber's heater continues, and he has built his stack over the 16,000,000 mark.

Three the Hard Way

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jerome Solomon

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Raise, raise, all-in, all-in, all-in, for a fun three-way, which almost became a foursome, but for a reluctant fold.

Marc Tusch: 9♥9♠ All in
Stephen Lee: A♦Q♥ All in
Danny Gonzales: A♥Q♣

The runout of 10♠10♦J♦3♠K♥ ended in the nastiest way possible for Tusch, who entered the flop with the lead. Gonzales and Lee split the win, with Lee doubling up and Gonzalez taking hold of the rest of Tusch's stack.
