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.

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.

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

Jinju Wu moved all in for 75,000, and only Lori Moniz in the cutoff called.

Jinju Wu: A♣10♦ All in
Lori Moniz: K♠Q♦

The flop 8♥3♣9♣ kept Wu in the lead, but the turn Q♣ saw Moniz move ahead.

The river 6♠ was unable to save Wu, who vacated his seat and headed to the cash desk.

Nicholas Peterson got his 330,000 stack in preflop, and was way out in the lead as Gregory Pearson made the call.

Nicholas Peterson: K♠K♦ All in
Gregory Pearson: A♦K♥

The flop was a brutal one, as it came down J♣A♠9♥ leaving Peterson drawing to just a single out. He couldn't find it on the J♦8♥ runout, as Pearson dragged in the pot.

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

Melvin Wiener raised to 40,000 in middle position and only got called by Pat Mccoy in the big blind.

Both players checked all the way through the Q♦3♥7♥6♥ runout and a 9♦ hit the river. After a last check from Mccoy, Wiener bet 20,000 and Mccoy called. Wiener tabled 6♦4♦ for a pair of sixes but Mccoy revealed J♣9♣ for the nines and took down the pot.

Sagra Saved by the River

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

With roughly 150,000 in the pot, Ignacio Sagra, Joao Simao and Ryan Riess were looking at a board of 8♠5♠3♦.

Sagra checked from the small blind, which prompted Simao to place a bet of 40,000. Riess then responded with a raise to 120,000, before seeing Sagra check-raise all-in for 310,000. Simao got out of the way, and Riess went into the tank. After taking some time to think the hand through, Riess made the call.

Ignacio Sagra: J♠10♠ All in
Ryan Riess: A♦9♦

Riess had made the hero-call with just ace-high and was correct, but there were several cards he needed to avoid.

The turn 6♦ kept Riess in the lead, and gave him a flush draw of his own, but the river J♥ was just what Sagra was looking for, his top pair giving him the best hand.

Sagra's stack was double-checked before the dealer pushed the huge double-up in his direction.
