Chang Can't Overcome Holland's Nines

Kai Cocklin

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.

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.

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

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

Ryan Law, in the small blind, opened with a 4,300,000 bet leaving only 250,000 behind. Big Blind player James Gauley asked for a count of his bet and after a few seconds announced all-in sending Law to the tank.

Law apologized and asked for some time to consider his option. But he took a lot of time, so much that, Carlos Saez Martinez started to complain. The table explained to Martinez that since there was so much at stake, they were willing to wait for him to consider his options. In the end, everyone agreed to give Law one more minute before the floor was called.

The floor was finally called and Law asked for a verbal countdown. At the very last second, Law announced a call.

Ryan Law: K♥6♥ All in
James Gauley: Q♠10♠

When the hands were tabled, Gauley was gracious enough to comfort Law saying that he was ahead. And Law was ahead when the board ran A♦7♦3♥8♥ but the dreaded river fell 10♦ giving Gauley a pair and ending Law's deep run instantaneously.

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

John Oneal opened for 800,000 under the gun and got an all-in shove from Jeremy Dan in the big blind for 22,500,000. Oneal snap-called putting himself at risk.

John Oneal: A♣A♥ All in
Jeremy Dan: J♥J♣

Oneal had the best hole cards in the game and was visibly disappointed when the flop fell J♠7♠3♦ immediately giving Dan a set on the flop to crack his aces. The turn 10♣ and 6♦ river was dealt without changing the situation. Dan scooped the pot as Oneal quietly left the table.

Jules Rohr also hit the rail shortly after.
