Jacks Say Goodnight Sweetheart to Lombardo

Jerome Solomon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

John Lombardo went all in with his last 395,000 chips. Taylor Shepard, in the cutoff made an all-in raise, driving out the button and blinds. Lombardo groaned when he saw what he was up against.

John Lombardo: 10♥10♠ All in
Taylor Shepard J♥J♠

The runout of 7♥K♣2♦8♠3♦ didn't give Lombardo the help he needed.

Derrick Stoebe had his stack of around 300,000 in the middle and was put at risk by the better hand of Chi Nguyen.

Derrick Stoebe: A♦8♦ All in
Chi Nguyen: A♠K♠

Stoebe was looking for an eight, but the J♣3♥2♦7♣Q♣ runout didn't deliver, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Lozano shipped in 215,000 from under the gun and Matthew Russell also shoved around 700,000 from the next seat.

Paul Lozano: Q♦J♠ All in
Matthew Russell: 9♥9♦

It was a fair fight and one that went the way of Russell as his pocket nines held on the A♦5♦A♠2♦6♠ board, leaving Lozano to head to the payout desk.

Nitesh Rawtani was big blind and all in against Travis To on the button.

Nitesh Rawtani: 10♥7♦ All in
Travis To: K♥10♠

The board layout brought no comfort to Rawtani, who busted out in 201st place.

On the next hand, To pushed all in from the cutoff, but didn't get any callers.

Daniel Vida was seen raking in a chunky pot at the expense of Seth Fischer.

The full board read 7♠Q♣3♠5♦2♦ and all the chips had found their way into the middle by the time the river card was dealt. Fischer showed A♣Q♦ for top pair, top kicker, but Vida held A♠A♦ for pocket aces to scoop the pot.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Robert Jones

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

The action was picked up on the river as Ryan Hohner had 585,000 in play from the big blind versus Chihsiang Chiu sitting in the small blind on a board of 8♦5♣6♠J♣5♥.

There was roughly 700,000 in the pot, and Chiu had a big decision for the majority of his stack in front of him. He made the call and saw the A♥J♠ from Hohner for two pair, which was good enough to scoop this pot of close to 2,000,000.

On a neighboring table, Tyson Sullivan was all in for 170,000 in the big blind after Christopher Fear raised from the hijack to 110,000. Fear made the call for 60,000 more.

Tyson Sullivan: AxAx All in
Christopher Fear: QxQx

Sullivan was able to find an ace on the turn, sealing his double up.
