Veloso Takes Out Hans

Myles Phago

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Hans raised to 160,000 from middle position and saw calls from Sergio Da Silva Veloso on the button and Kao Saechao in the big blind.

The flop came 10♥2♥6♣. Saechao checked, and Hans bet out for 200,000. Veloso called, and Saechao folded, and the players saw the A♠ come on the turn. Hans continued with the aggression and bet out for 575,000. Veloso called.

The river saw the 4♥ peel off, and now Hans went into the tank for a while before he announced all in. Veloso didn't think too long before he made the call and tabled 7♥8♥ for a rivered flush, he had Hans covered. Hans showed A♦10♠ for two pair but was sent to the rail.

Alex Faynshteyn: 9♣9♦ All in
Anders Karlsen: J♥J♠

A magical door card for Faynshteyn when he saw the 9♠ but then the J♣ came on the flop as well and when the J♦ came on the turn and gave Karlsen quads Faynshteyn was drawing dead and sent to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dylan Linde raised to 120,000 from the cutoff, and then Christopher Shebat re-raised to 360,000 from the big blind. Linde made the call.

The dealer fanned a 7♣K♣5♣ flop. Shebat bet 300,000, and Linde then went all-in for 1,100,000 effective, having Shebat covered. After taking some time to think, Shebat decided to send his cards into the muck.

Linde's stack has soared past the 3-million chip mark. Those who drafted him in the 25K Fantasy League will be hoping he can continue to capitalize on his positive momentum.
