Lucky For Lauck; Lousberg Loses; Glantz Has a Chance

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Claudio Elizalde

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jonas Lauck and Chad Lousberg got in a massive preflop confrontation that saw all their chips in the middle and their cards on their backs.

Chad Lousberg: J♥J♣ All in
Jonas Lauck: A♣K♣

The board ran out king-high, awarding a massive pot to Lauck and sending Lousberg on his way.

The Very Next Hand

Matt Glantz went all in for his last 300,000 and was able to successfully steal the blinds, but with the level going up, he'll need to gain traction soon to stay in contention.

Affleck Knocked Out

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Anze Smajd put his final 310,000 chips into the pot with an all-in, and Matt Affleck went all in over the top. Luis Faria, who had the most chips of the three, made the call.

Anze Smajd: A♦A♠ All in
Matt Affleck: A♣Q♦ All in
Luis Faria: 10♣10♠

Affleck was in jeopardy, needing to at least beat Faria in a race for the side pot to stay alive. The runout of 5♣9♥6♣J♠2♦ didn't help him, as the pocket pairs held. Smajd tripled up and Faria got twice his investment back from the side pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Benjamin Gros raised to 160,000 from early position, and Justin Saliba moved all in for 1,435,000 from middle position. Chris Moorman then reshoved with both players covered. Gros folded, and Saliba and Moorman were in a classic coin-flip situation.

Justin Saliba: A♣K♦ All in
Chris Moorman: Q♥Q♣

The board ran out Q♠K♥9♣7♥3♣, sending Saliba to the payout desk.
