Neves Into Trouble

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The defending champion Pedro Neves moved all-in for 97,000 from the button. The small blind folded, but Andrea Tropea in the big blind immediately threw a chip to call.

Pedro Neves: A♦7♦ All in
Andrea Tropea: A♣7♣

After a flop of J♣K♥7♥, Tropea found a flush draw with the 5♣ turn. The 9♠ river however didn't complete the flush, so they split the pot.

Myles Phago

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was folded around to Arnaud Enselme in the small blind, who made up, and Stephen Foutty checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came A♣J♠2♥ and Enselme led out for 12,000, only for Foutty to raise to 35,000. Enselme called, and the players saw the 8♣ fall on the turn.

Enselme slowed down and checked now, but Foutty bet out for 75,000. Enselme called.

The K♦ came on the river, and Enselme checked again, only for Foutty to bet 300,000, which put Enselme all in. Enselme went into the tank and eventually called and tabled 10♣2♣ for a pair of deuces but was way behind Foutty's A♦2♦ for two pair!

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.

Romain Locquet	2,100,000 665,000	665,000
Gordon Hamilton	200,000 89,500	89,500

Babiy's Aces No Good

Myles Phago

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

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

Yi Klassen already went all in from the button, but didn't get any calls. In the next hand she open-shoved from the small blind. Her neighbour in the big blind, Paul Figliomeni, decided to call.

Yi Klassen: A♠K♦ All in
Paul Figliomeni: A♣J♣

The dealer ran out the board: 6♠Q♥8♣K♣6♦ and Klassen won the hand with kings and sixes for the double up.

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

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.
