Vieira Shoves on Ivey

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Joao Vieira raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Phil Ivey called from the big blind. The flop came Q♦4♠2♣ and Ivey check-called a bet of 130,000 from Vieira.

The 4♣ paired the board on the turn and Ivey led out with a bet of 300,000. Vieira called and the 3♣ landed on the river. Ivey checked this time and Vieira jammed all in for around 1,200,000. Ivey quickly mucked his cards in disgust and Vieira collected the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Barak Wisbrod opened to 225,000 in middle position and next to act, Aram Oganyan, raised to 650,000. Action folded back to Wisbrod, who moved all in, and Oganyan snapped.

Barak Wisbrod: 8♥8♣ All in
Aram Oganyan: A♠K♦

Wisbrod was ahead but at risk.

The tables turned on the K♠10♠2♣ flop, and it was Wisbrod who needed to catch up.

The turn J♣ and river 2♥ were no help, and Wisbrod headed to the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

David Peters opened from the cutoff, and was re-raised by Aram Oganyan from the small blind to 800,000. Peters called.

The flop came 7♥3♥3♦, Oganyan bet 450,000, Peters called.

The 9♣ turn and 8♣ river were both checked through, and Oganyan showed A♥K♦ which was good enough to scoop.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Brandon Wittmeyer was down to just 385,000 chips and contemplated his move by using a time bank before shoving all in from the hijack. Andrew Lichtenberger confirmed the count in the small blind and then called.

Brandon Wittmeyer: K♣4♣ All in
Andrew Lichtenberger: 6♥6♦

The flop came A♥A♦Q♥ and Wittmeyer picked up a few counterfeit outs. The 3♥ on the turn narrowed his outs by one and the 6♣ on the river improved Lichtenberger to a full house.

Calum Grant

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Defending champion Chris Hunichen jammed for 860,000 from from middle position and was called by Ben Heath from the button.

Chris Hunichen: K♠Q♠ All in
Ben Heath: A♣9♠

Heath paired his ace on the A♠10♥3♦ flop to leave Hunichen drawing to Broadway. The short stack asked for at least a spade on the turn but the 7♥ was of no help.

The river bricked off with the 4♣ and Hunichen departed in 15th place after surviving the bubble as one of the smallest stacks.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aram Oganyan opened to 250,000 under the gun, and only Vinny Lingham, next to act, called.

Oganyan started with a check on a 5♦Q♣9♥ flop, and Lingham accepted the invite to take over the betting lead, placing a bet of 250,000. Oganyan sprang into action, though, check-raising to 670,000, which Lingham called.

The turn brought the 10♠, and Oganyan continued for 780,000. Lingham almost immediately announced he was all in, for roughly 3,000,000, and Oganyan snap-folded.

Aram Oganyan opened to 200,000 in the hijack and was called by Thomas Boivin in the cutoff. Andrew Pacheco shipped all in for 1,235,000 in the small blind which only Oganyan called.

Andrew Pacheco: J♠J♣ All in
Aram Oganyan: A♥Q♥

It was a coin flip and Oganyan took the lead on the Q♣9♣3♥ flop. The 3♦ on the turn and the K♥ on the river changed nothing and Pacheco was eliminated with a min-cash.

Chris Hunichen shoved all in for 480,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Adrian Mateos in the big blind. Mateos asked for a count and then deliberated before calling.

Chris Hunichen: 9♠9♦ All in
Adrian Mateos: K♠5♦

The flop came 10♠8♠5♠ and Mateos picked up a pair and the best flush draw. However, the 7♦ and 10♥ runout was no help and Hunichen held on to double up.
