Wolff Fades Huge Sweat

Jacob Wilson

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jack Maskill flatted an open shove from Zurvan Tumboli for 123,000, before George Wolff reshoved from the small blind for 510,000. After a long tank, Maskill ended up folding, with his covering stack.

George Wolff: A♦K♥ All in
Zurvan Tumboli: A♣K♠

It seemed as though the players were off to a chop, however the 4♣9♣5♥ flop brought some sweat. The 5♣ turn brought even more of a sweat, as Tumboli started calling for a club. It didn't come, as the two chopped on the A♥ river.

Chen Eliminates Teisseire

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Peter Robinson went jammed in cutoff for 37,000 and Antonin Teisseire made a duty call in the big blind taking them to showdown.

Peter Robinson: Q♠10♥ All in
Antonin Teisseire: 9♥3♥

Already ahead, Robinson's lead got reinforced when the flop dropped Q♠5♥8♠ giving him a pair. The runout 8♥4♠ didn't take the lead away from Robinson resulting in a double up for him.

A few hands later, Teisseire found himself in an all-in situation with Wei Chen, who covered him and placed his tournament life on the line.

Antonin Teisseire: A♥7♣ All in
Wei Chen: A♦K♦

Both players had an ace but Chen had the better kicker putting him in the front. It was looking grim for Teisseire when the flop dropped 10♥8♠K♠. The turn 9♣ and river 5♣ didn't help Teisseire at all ending his tournament life instantly. He left the table as the dealer pushed the chips towards Chen's direction.

Wei Chen	650,000 327,000	327,000
Peter Robinson	92,000 35,000	35,000

Jacob Wilson

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

James Heath, Julio Novo, and Srikanth Yadlapati all got it in preflop, with two players having the equity advantage.

James Heath: A♣Q♥ All in
Julio Novo: A♥Q♦ All in
Srikanth Yadlapati: A♠J♠

It would be Heath and Novo to double up through their adversary, as they held on the 3♥K♣10♣5♥10♦ runout, and Yadlapati forked out the chips.

Julio Novo	310,000 136,000	136,000

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chris Nelson open-jammed all-in for 79,000 under the gun. Action folded to the small blind and Scott Lake bet 170,000 which was enough to make Artashes Kartalyan in the big blind fold.

Chris Nelson: A♦10♥ All in
Scott Lake: J♥J♠

The flop came 8♣5♠A♥ instantly pushing Nelson in the lead. The A♠ turn strengthened Nelson's hand with trips. Lake still had minimal outs to turn the tides but the river 5♣ double paired the board giving Nelson a full house and cementing his chip up to double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Scott Lake	540,000 342,000	342,000
Chris Nelson	182,000 91,000	91,000

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Quang Pham raised in the hijack to 24,000 and Mario Lopez shoved next to him for 120,000. In the big blind, Jonathan Wolter reshoved for 126,000 and Pham decided to fold:

Mario Lopez: A♠Q♥ All in
Jonathan Wolter: A♦K♠

Lopez had the dominated hand but the board revealed J♣2♠9♠5♠3♠ to give him the nut flush while Wolter was left with crumbs and busted a few minutes later.

Mario Lopez (CA)	270,000 31,000	31,000
