Spivack Leaves Weiss on Fumes

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

As the players were coming back on break, Martin Kabrhel wandered over from the $100,000 event and asked Shaun Deeb to take a selfie with him. He then sat down at the table beside Deeb and took some of his chips, pretending to join the tournament.

"I can play with you, right? Nobody minds?" Kabrhel joked before the dealer finally told him to move.

"Payout, 18th place. $28,000," Kabrhel added as he left the room.

"You're still down $200,000 on the day," Deeb told him.

Meanwhile, Dennis Weiss had pushed all in from the big blind on a flop of 10♦4♥8♣ and Edward Jackson Spivack called in the cutoff for his last 250,000.

Edward Jackson Spivack: A♥10♣8♦3♥ All in
Dennis Weiss: A♦9♥6♠2♥

Spivack was ahead with top pair, while Weiss had a straight and low draw. The board ran out 9♦J♣ and Spivack remained in the lead to earn the double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Michael Korody raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Bruno Furth called from the button. James Obst three-bet to 445,000 from the small blind, which Korody called. Furth back-jammed with the covering stack, which Obst and Korody called.

James Obst: A♦K♠Q♥6♠ All in
Michael Korody: A♣8♦3♥3♣ All in
Bruno Furth: A♥8♠4♥2♣

If Furth were to win this pot, he would move into the chip lead, and the tournament would be down to just two tables.

The board ran out 10♣9♦2♥4♠10♠, which meant no low was available, and Furth won the pot with just a pair of fours, eliminating both players. After the chips were counted, it was determined that Obst had fewer chips than Korody, so Obst was 18th and Korody 17th.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 140,000 in early position and Bruno Furth called on the button, while big blind Christopher Vitch also came along.

The flop came 2♦6♥9♥ and action checked to Furth who bet 150,000. Vitch folded, but Timoshenko moved all in for 305,000 and Furth snap-called.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♦A♠Q♠2♠ All in
Bruno Furth: 7♥4♦3♦2♥

Timoshenky was ahead with his aces but needed to dodge Furth's straight and flush draws as well as a low draw. The 9♠ turn was safe for Timoshenko, while the river was the J♣ and Timoshenko held on to double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Dennis Weiss potted to 140,000 from under the gun with 30,000 behind. Jordan Siegel clicked it to 300,000 from the small blind, and Weiss called all-in for 170,000 total.

"It's not a good hand but it's better than the next one," Weiss admitted as the hands were tabled.

Dennis Weiss: Q♣10♥7♥3♣ All in
Jordan Siegel: A♣J♥6♣4♦

The 10♠7♣5♥ flop gave Weiss two pair and Siegel the low draw. The board ran out Q♠2♥ as Weiss improved his two pair but Siegel made a low on the river to get half.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Brian Hastings raised to 100,000 under the gun and Sam Soverel called in the small blind. Dennis Weiss then moved all in for 170,000 in the big blind and Hastings announced pot. Soverel repotted and Hastings called for his last 1,100,000.

Dennis Weiss: K♠9♣8♥5♦ All in
Brian Hastings: A♣A♦10♠7♥ All in
Sam Soverel: A♠A♥7♠4♥

Both Hastings and Soverel showed two aces and had Weiss at risk as the flop came 2♥Q♠10♣. "Jack!" Weiss pleaded going to the turn, which came the 6♦.

"Jack!" he repeated, and he got his wish this time as the J♦ river gave him a straight and the triple up, while Hastings and Soverel chopped the side pot.

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Magnus Edengren raised to 125,000 from early position and only Sam Soverel called from the cutoff.

Edengren continued with a bet of 150,000 on the Q♦4♦2♠ flop. Soverel slid in the call.

The A♦ on the turn caused Edengren to slow down and check. Soverel bet 300,000, prompting a fold from Edengren.

Limits: 40,000-140,000

After several small pots at Table 634, some post-flop action was finally seen.

Shaun Deeb opened the hijack to 80,000 and Narcis Nedelcu defended his big blind.

On the Q♦5♦2♠ flop, Deeb continued for 75,000 and Nedelcu called.

The 5♥ turn and 8♦ river checked through as Nedelcu tabled K♠6♣5♠4♦ for the winner with trip fives and low, and Deeb mucked.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Limits: 40,000-140,000

Bruno Furth made it 90,000 to go from under the gun, and Shaun Deeb called from the next seat. Yevgeniy Timoshenko squeezed to 420,000 from the cutoff with 625,000 behind. Furth folded, but Deeb called.

Once Deeb checked the K♦J♠9♥ flop, Timoshenko jammed his 625,000 into the middle. Deeb mulled it over for a while before making the call to put Timoshenko at risk.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♥Q♣5♥3♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♠J♣8♦2♠

Timoshenko had a straight draw against Deeb's pair of jacks. The K♠ on the turn gave Timoshenko a few more outs, but the Q♠ river improved Deeb to flush, eliminating Timoshenko in 16th place.
