Chancey Chancey For Wysotchanski; Zinno & Dzivielevski Eliminated

Claudio Elizalde

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski bet 2,000 in a limped pot on a flop of 2♦6♥4♣ and was called by Wagner Wysotchanski on the button, and Anthony Zinno, who was in the small blind.

Three players saw the 9♣ turn. Zinno started with a check, Dzivielevski bet 8,000, Wysotchanski called, and Zinno announced pot, nearly all in for him.

Dzivielevski called for less and Wysotchanski pondered it before raising to put Zinno's remaining chips at risk. Zinno called.

Wagner Wysotchanski: Q♣10♦7♣5♣
Anthony Zinno: K♠5♠3♠2♥ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: K♦9♦6♣3♥ All in

Zinno had flopped the nut straight, Dzivielevski had two-pair and a gut shot, and Wysotchanski was open-ended with the only flush draw.

When the 3♣ peeled off, Wysotchanski said, "That's me." and his illustrious opponents were left to either re-enter or move onto the next tournament.

EL Takes an "L" From EL

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Erick Lindgren was knocked out of the event by Edward Leonard’s full house.

Lindgreen, in middle position, opened the betting with a raise to 2,500, a little over twice the big blind (1,200). Leonard, in the hijack, made the call, along with two other players.

The flop of A♣Q♣4♣ prompted a 3,000-chip bet from Lindgren. Leonard was the lone caller.

Lindgren didn’t slow down after the A♠ turned, betting 13,000 chips. Again, Leonard called.

The K♦ on the river proved to be the card Leonard needed. He quickly called Lindgren’s pot-sized bet of just under 40,000 chips.

Leonard had an ace and a king for a full house, leaving Lindgren with a couple thousand chips, which he donated to the pot in his next, and final, hand.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yake Wu raised to 3,000 from the hijack and Ryan Johnson called from the cutoff. Tony Sinishtaj squeezed to 13,200, which both players called.

The dealer fanned out the flop of 8♥10♣10♠ and Sinishtaj jammed for his remaining 13,500. Wu and Johnson called.

With Sinishtaj all-in, the turn came the J♠, Wu jammed for Johnson's remaining 35,000 and Johnson called.

Tony Sinishtaj: A♦A♣K♦3♠ All in
Ryan Johnson: Q♦9♦7♠6♥ All in
Yake Wu: A♠10♦5♥4♠

Sinishtaj had pocket aces, Johnson had a straight and was in the lead, but Wu could win the pot if he filled up on the river.

The 4♥ appeared on the river to give the winner with a boat, sending Sinishtaj and Johnson to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a call from Giuseppe Pantaleo from under the gun, Kyle Arora raised to 5,000 sitting in middle position; followed by a re-raise shortly after from Lucas Zwingmann on the button. Ap Garza, laying in wait from the big blind, made it 36,200 to go. Action folded around to Zwingmann who was ready to play for it all and jammed. Garza quickly called.

Lucas Zwingmann: A♠A♥10♣4♣ All in
Ap Garza: K♦Q♥J♠10♦

Aces were safe on the 9♣7♥3♥6♥2♠ runout, and Zwingmann has found a massive double-up during the early stages of the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kyle Arora	175,000 175,000	175,000
Lucas Zwingmann	140,000 140,000	140,000

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Four players saw the flop come down 10♠Q♠9♥. Cherish Andrews bet 5,000 from the hijack and Adam Johnson called from the cutoff.

The 8♦ dropped on the turn and Andrews continued with a bet of 15,000. Johnson called once more.

The river was the 4♣, and Andrews shoved for Johnson's remaining 30,000. Johnson didn't take long to fold and forfeited the pot to Andrews.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yuval Bronshtein checked to Daniel Negreanu on a river reading 4♣Q♦2♥8♣2♣. Negreanu put out a bet of 23,000 and Bronshtein promptly folded.

This particular event only allowed two re-entries, meaning that Negreanu will have to build traction on this bullet in order to make a deep run.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Negreanu	94,000 94,000	94,000

Popular pro David Williams checked into the event early in Level 7, and quickly lost nearly half his starting stack of 50,000 chips.

In less than a rotation, the one-time bracelet winner was down to 27,500 chips before the button reached him.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Four ways to a flop of 6♣6♠7♦, Noah Schwartz bet 2,300 when checked to him. Benny Glaser folded, Lorenz Schollhorn called, and Cedric Kolstad joined Glaser in the muck.

The two remaining players saw the 2♣ turn and they both checked.

When the Q♠ rolled off the on the river, Schollhorn took the initiative with a bet of 5,000. Schwartz folded which prompted Schollhorn to ask, "Did you have clubs?"

"No clubs. I had nines... with an eight....", Schwartz replied before changing the course of conversation.
