Nines Good For Bloch

Jacob Wilson

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

As is the theme here in the Super Turbo Bounty, there was some huge preflop action as Taylor Hart, Andrew Bloch, and Zhargal Tsydypov got all their chips in after seeing only their hole cards.

Andrew Bloch: 9♦9♣ All in
Taylor Hart: 7♣7♠ All in
Zhargal Tsydypov: A♥K♦

The Q♠9♠K♣ flop gave Bloch a big sweat, as the king came in the window; however his set of nines left both other players looking for runner-runner. The 2♣ turn sealed his win, and the J♦ sent Hart home, with Tsydypov taking his bounty, and Bloch tripling up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Zhargal Tsydypov	136,000
Andrew Bloch	86,000

Taylor Hart	Busted

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ed Pineda raised from the cutoff to 4,000 only for Connor Belcher to three-bet all in from the small blind for 18,700. Thomas Desroches in the big blind, then four-bet all in, and Pineda folded.

Connor Belcher: A♠J♦ All in
Thomas Desroches: 8♣8♠

The flop came 10♣4♥Q♥ and when the 8♥ fell on the turn, Belcher needed a king to hit a gutshot and stay alive. No such luck when the 7♠ fell on the river and Belcher was sent packing.

Pineda, who was the initial raiser in the pot, had already built up a stack of over 200,000 and is possibly the early chip leader.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ed Pineda	210,000
Thomas Desroches	45,000

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Players are making some marginal plays with the $500 bounty on offer for eliminating a player.

All the money was in the middle between Jeffrey Sluzinski and Heidi Orloff.

Jeffrey Sluzinski: A♦3♦ All in
Heidi Orloff: K♣10♥

The flop came J♠Q♠10♦ to send Orloff into the lead, and with no ace coming on the turn or river Sluzinski was sent to the rail and Orloff picked up a $500 bounty.

Heidi Orloff	42,000 42,000	42,000

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

David Mzaurelov, Jacob Mendelsohn, and Mario Concepcion all limped from under the gun, middle position, and the button respectively, before Edward Zakaria shoved his 10,700 from the small blind. All three players then made the call, in search of his bounty.

The flop of 7♠K♠8♥ brought checks from all the players, and the same happened on the 10♠ turn. For a final time, the J♦ river checked through, and Zakaria showed A♥K♣ for top top. The other players all went to muck, but due to the hand having a player all in, Mzaurelov's A♣7♦, Mendelsohn's 2♣2♦ and Concepcion's 3♥5♥ all had to be shown, leaving Zakaria to scoop in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Edward Zakaria	46,000 46,000	46,000
Mario Concepcion	32,000 32,000	32,000
David Mzaurelov	24,000 24,000	24,000
Jacob Mendelsohn	18,000 18,000	18,000

Joshua Mccully: A♣J♣ All in
Luigi Shehadeh: A♦10♣
Felicco Toney: 4♥3♥

The board ran out 9♣2♣5♠7♠A♠, giving Toney a straight while collecting two bounties in the process.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Matthew Paston raised from the cutoff to 2,500 only to see William Corrao three-bet all in for 13,200 from the button and then Georgi Sandev four-bet shove for 18,500 from the small blind. Stanley Webb in the big blind called, and so did Paston.

Paston and Webb checked down the 3♥4♠5♥5♣6♦ board and tabled their cards. Paston showed 9♠10♠, Sandev 7♥7♦, Webb K♦10♣ and Corrao AxJx.
