Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Wenxin Huang went all-in from middle position for 895,000. David Huynh, next to act, also moved all-in for 845,000 and was at risk. Action was on Jason Maeroff in the big blind, but before he could act, Huynh accidentally exposed pocket Jacks to the table. Maeroff wasn’t quite sure how to handle this extra information, but he eventually decided to fold.

David Huynh: J♥J♠ All in
Wenxin Huang: 8♣8♥

The board ran out 3♠K♣9♠K♦4♦, leaving Huang with a short stack.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Joseph Dorfman raised from middle position to 250,000 only for Carlos Saez Martinez to three-bet from late position to 650,000. Aaron Johnson then moved all in from the big blind for 2,500,000. Dorfman got out of the way, and Martinez snap called.

Aaron Johnson: Q♣K♣ All in
Carlos Saez Martinez: A♣A♥

Some help for Johnson on the 4♠Q♠4♦ flop but nothing further when the 7♦ turn and J♥ river bricked out and sent Martinez the monster pot to put him over 10,000,000 in chips and amongst the chipleaders whilst sending Johnson packing.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Danny Grogan open-jammed all in from under the gun for 980,000 and saw a call from Michael Acevedo in early position. Andrew Lavender on the button then also went all in for his last 505,000.

Andrew Lavender: K♥K♣ All in
Danny Grogan: 9♣9♠ All in
Michael Acevedo: A♦J♦

The flop came 4♥8♣J♠ to put Acevedo into the lead for the side pot, and when the A♥ came on the turn, he was out in front for both pots. No nine or king on the 3♦ river, and Acevedo scooped the whole pot and sent Grogan and Lavender to the cage.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Brian Brunner raised to 200,000 from the button. Inho Lee then went all in and was at risk for 950,000 from the big blind. Brunner quickly made the call and was behind.

Inho Lee: K♦K♠ All in
Brian Brunner: A♣K♣

Favorites became underdogs as the dealer placed an icy cold A♥Q♥9♥ flop. Lee was hoping to find his one out in the deck, but the 4♣ turn and Q♦ river weren't the cards he was looking for, bringing an end to his impressive run in Event #37.
