Ladies Spell Paccone's Demise

Joseph Berg

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Romain Locquet raised to 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Gordon Hamilton on the button. Dario Paccone then went all-in from the small blind, risking roughly 450,000. Locquet made the call, and Hamilton folded.

Dario Paccone: Q♣Q♥ All in
Romain Locquet: A♠A♣

Paccone needed help to keep his hopes alive in Event #37. Unfortunately for him, the dealer did not assist, as the 2♣7♦9♥9♦4♣ runout sent Paccone to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Anatoly Zlotnikov raised from middle position to 24,000 only to be three-bet to 65,000 by Jordan Westmorland in late position. Justin Babiy in the cutoff then four-bet jammed all in for his last 175,000. Zlotnikov got out of the way, and Westmorland called.

Justin Babiy: A♣A♦ All in
Jordan Westmorland: A♠10♣

The flop came 5♠K♣J♣ and then Babiy's nightmare card, the Q♣ peeled off on the turn and gave Westmorland a gutshot straight. The Q♥ came on the river, and Babiy' aces had been cracked, and he was sent packing.

Jordan Westmorland	650,000 563,000	563,000

Dario Paccone raised from early position to 40,000. Gregory Rankich called from the hijack, and on the button, Joshua Rothberg went all-in for 365,000.

Paccone folded while Rankich made the call.

Gregory Rankich: 9♥9♠ All in
Joshua Rothberg: K♦K♣

The board ran out K♥5♦3♥J♥9♦ and even though Rankich rivered a set, he was headed to the rail.

Jack Corrigan: K♣K♥ All in
Jeffrey Vertes: A♠A♦

The board came out J♥J♦10♣7♥A♥, ending Corrigan's tournament life, while allowing Vertes to chip up over the 800,000 mark.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Elvyn Bello raised from middle position to 21,000 only for Larry Serebryany to three-bet to 51,000 from the button. Michael Thach then four-bet jammed all in from the small blind for 155,000. Bello folded, and Serebryany snap called.

Michael Thach: J♦J♥ All in
Larry Serebryany: K♥K♣

No help for Thach on the 10♣4♣6♥ flop, and when the K♠ came on the turn, he was drawing dead and off to the cage. The irrelevant 7♣ came on the river.

Larry Serebryany	995,000 821,500	821,500

Beckers Stays Alive

Myles Phago

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ken Beckers was forced all in on the big blind for his last 10,000. Sven Wedekin raised under the gun to 40,000 and saw calls from Raymond Padgett in early position and Brandon Mitchell from middle position.

The flop came 4♠5♥5♦ and Wedekin led out for 30,000. Padgett then went all in for 120,000. Mitchell folded, and Wedekin snap called.

Ken Beckers: J♠3♠ All in
Raymond Padgett: 8♣8♦ All in
Sven Wedekin: J♦J♥

Padgett was in trouble and needed to hit an eight or miracle running cards for a straight to stay alive. No help when the K♠ came on the turn, but this did give Beckers some hope of staying alive.

The 6♠ fell on the river and gave Beckers a flush, but was no help to Padgett, who was sent to the cage. Wedekin was happy to be pushed the big side pot, leaving Beckers scooping in a bowl of rice, but still happy to be alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sven Wedekin	740,000 487,000	487,000
Brandon Mitchell	280,000 167,000	167,000
Ken Beckers	40,000 210,000	210,000
Raymond Padgett	Busted
