What is This Hand?

Adam Lamers

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus and Eelis Parssinen were both short stacks after the money bubble burst and it didn't take much for two of them to get their chips in the middle. Ausmus was the player at risk for 210,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Jeremy Ausmus: A♠K♠10♠3♣ All in
Eelis Parssinen: A♥A♣7♣3♥

The flop came 7♠3♠3♦ with the two spades in the window, giving Ausmus some hope before everyone realized that Parssinen flopped a full house. The Q♥ on the turn changed nothing but the K♦ on the river gave Ausmus a better full house to double up, leaving Parssinen on crumbs.

"What is this hand?" a couple of the players questioned after seeing the runout.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeremy Ausmus	480,000 94,000	94,000

Eelis Parssinen	155,000 148,000	148,000

Sam Soverel: 7♣6♥6♠5♠ All in
Alex Foxen: J♥10♥8♣7♥

Soverel held a slight lead with his top pair and straight draw, while Foxen held overcards plus a flush draw.

Thomas Taylor opened to 70,000 in early position and Cliff Josephy moved all in for his last 100,000 on the button. Dylan Smith called from the big blind and Taylor came along as well.

The flop came J♠10♠3♣ and both players checked to the 4♠ on the turn. Smith checked again and Taylor fired out a bet of 50,000 which got Smith to fold.

Cliff Josephy: K♥K♦2♥2♦ All in
Thomas Taylor: 9♠8♠5♠2♣

Taylor turned a flush and had Josephy drawing dead to the A♥ on the river. Josephy exited the tournament without any needles from Ben Lamb who he passed by. The rest of the 74 players are now guaranteed at least $50,205 of the prizepool.

Haxton Puts Maximum Pressure On

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 55,000 under the gun, and next to act, Jesse Lonis called. The rest of the table folded, and the two went to a flop.

Haxton continued for 40,000 on the 9♠Q♠Q♣ flop, and Lonis called.

The turn brought the 9♦, and Haxton upped the ante, betting 180,000. Lonis stuck around, though, to see one more card.

The river A♥ didn't slow Haxton down, this time betting 600,000. This was enough to put Lonis all in and at risk of bubbling, should he call.

Lonis mucked his cards, advising that he had missed a straight draw and a flush draw.

Tomasz Gluszko: 9♦9♣8♠4♣
