Six on The River for Wilson

Roxanne Johnson

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

Andy Wilson raised from under the gun to 200,000, and Hiroyuki Tane three-bet all-in to 755,000. Wilson thought long and hard and made the call.

Hiroyuki Tane: A♣5♠ All in
Andy Wilson: A♠6♣

It was looking a lot like a chopped pot until the river when the board ran out with 3♠3♣K♦2♣6♦ and the six on the river gave Wilson two pair.

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

Action was picked up as Justin Liberto was all in from the cutoff, Yohwan Lim called on the button and Uri Reichenstein raised from the small blind and Lim called. Reichenstein bet 225,000 into the main and side pot when the flop came 10♠7♠6♥, Lim folded.

Justin Liberto: Q♦9♦ All in
Uri Reichenstein: A♦6♦

The board ran out 5♣6♠, and Liberto was eliminated. Reichenstein scooped a massive pot.

Uri Reichenstein raised to 120,000 on the button Jose Angel Latorre announced all in for roughly 1,000,000, Reichenstein snap-called.

Jose Angel Latorre: 10♠9♠ All in

Keating Flips for Monster Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

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

Two of the table's largest stacks got all their chips in preflop and were flipping for the chip lead.

Chih Fan: A♣K♥ All in
Alex Keating: 9♥9♠

The 5♥7♠9♣ almost instantly locked up the check mark for Keating, as Fan could only hit a running straight to chop and stay alive. He didn't do so on the 4♦8♠ runout, and Keating became both the table and tournament chip leader.

Chih Fan: A♥K♦

Roxanne Johnson

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a topsy-turvy couple of hands, Jason Wheeler managed to lose half his chips and then double up his chips.

In the first hand, Noel Rodriguez moved all in from the button for 240,000, and Jason Wheeler isolated all in from the small blind with the superior stack.

Noel Rodriguez: J♦J♣ All in
Jason Wheeler: 7♥7♠

The board ran out with A♦3♦2♥6♣5♠, and Rodriguez would double his stack, and Wheeler was on life support.

In the second hand, Jason Wheeler moved all in from the button, and Justin Liberto isolated all in from the small blind for 280,000 effective.

Jason Wheeler: A♥Q♥ All in
Justin Liberto: K♦J♠

Wheeler's luck turned around on the second board A♣4♦A♦A♠5♦, and quads were good for the win.

Quads to Survive

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev found himself under the gun and raised to 60,000. On his direct left, cutoff Danny Wong shoved, covering the entire table. Madanzhiev had action after the blinds folded. He thought for a while, checked the payouts, and made the call.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: 9♣9♦ All in
Danny Wong: A♠K♣

The flop couldn't have been more of a sweat for either player, as it came down 3♠9♠4♠ giving Madanzhiev top set, while Wong had a flush draw. The turn 9♥ rendered the flush draw irrelevant, as Madanzhiev it quads and became unbeatable. The K♠ river was nothing but a needle to Wong

Ryan Lashmar

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Victoria Livschitz shoved from the button for 540,000 and Anatoly Nikitin, who had her slightly covered, called from the small blind to put her at risk.

Victoria Livschitz: 6♠6♣ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: K♥Q♥

Nikitin had two overs and a gutshot on the A♠J♣9♠ flop but the 7♣ turn and J♠ river were clean for Livschitz and she doubled up, leaving Nikitin with less than one big blind.
