Plant Spikes a Pair on the Window

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ryan Plant opened for 1,000,000 under the gun and received an all-in shove from Philip Tardif in hijack. Plant called taking both players to showdown.

Philip Tardif: A♣J♦ All in
Ryan Plant: J♥9♥

The window card instantly gave Plant the lead with a pair on the 9♠8♠6♥ flop, evoking a groan from Tardif who started to get up from his seat. The turn 6♣ and river 10♠ fell without helping Tardif. Tardif left the floor as Plant added the chips to his growing stack.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Joseph Williams moved his last few big blinds into the pot from the hijack and got called by Ivan Ruban in the small blind and Remy Murcia in the big blind.

The two active players checked to the river on Q♦4♦9♣2♣10♥, where Ruban fired a bet and Murcia quickly folded.

Ruban then showed K♦10♠ for a pair of tens, and Williams flipped A♦6♠, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action was picked up with two players in an all-in showdown.

Tomas Szwarcberg: K♠K♦ All in
Dylan Linde: Q♥Q♣

Szwarcberg stood up visibly disappointed when the flop dropped 8♣Q♦A♦ shifting the lead to Linde who caught a set. The runout 9♠6♣ didn't improve Szwarcberg's hand sending him to the rails.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Maxx Holland opened to 1,200,000 from early position and Andrew Chang shoved for around 7,600,000 from the hijack. Once it got back to Holland, he called with a slightly covering stack.

Andrew Chang: A♦8♦ All in
Maxx Holland: 9♦9♠

Chang needed to connect with his ace or find some diamonds, but didn't find much to work with on the 2♠4♣K♦ flop. A Q♣ on the turn left him with just three outs, and the 3♣ river wasn't what he needed, which meant he was eliminated.

[Removed:548] opened for 1,200,000 under the gun. With action folded to the button, Carlos Saez Martinez mulled over his situation and decided to put in 6,000,000 leaving 50,000 behind.

After the 30 second warning, Martinez threw in the last 50,000 for a call.

Carlos Saez Martinez: K♥Q♠ All in
[Removed:548]: A♣J♠

The board ran 2♥2♣3♠8♥9♣ with no one hitting the board. [Removed:549] won the pot with ace-high sending Martinez to the payout counter.

Sergei Petrushevskii; A♠Q♦ All in
Santiago Montes: K♣J♠

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Sergio Da Silva Veloso opened under the gun for 1,200,000 and got a caller in small blind James Leonard. The flop came 5♦9♥4♣.

Leonard check-called Veloso's bet of 1,750,000. On the turn 3♠, Leonard checked once again. Veloso took his time to think of what his move will be. He decided to go all-in for 6,300,000. Leonard snap-called.

Sergio Da Silva Veloso: 9♦8♦ All in
James Leonard: 5♠5♥

Leonard caught a set on the flop which Veloso's top pair couldn't beat. The river 6♣ was a formality. Veloso's deep run ended as Leonard scooped the pot.
