Harrison Eliminates Johnnie Vibes

Erick Torres

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The chips were in on the board of 7♣3♠9♠J♠4♦ between Johnnie "Vibes" Moreno and Tony Harrison.

Moreno showed J♠10♠ for two pair, but he was bested by Harrison, who had A♠8♠. Moreno barely had Harrison covered, leaving him with just 10,000 in chips. Moreno busted shortly after to exit the tournament.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three premium hands entangled in an all-in scenario that saw Shaun Hendrickson and Jaime Cuevas at risk as Jeremy Brown had them both covered.

Shaun Hendrickson: A♥Q♠ All in
Jaime Cuevas: K♠K♣
Jeremy Brown: A♠A♦

Brown had both Cuevas and Hendrickson in a world of hurt going into the runout, and the board did not subvert his aces as it ran 7♣3♠9♠J♠4♦ to send Hendrickson and Cuevas out.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Connor Burchwell open jammed all in from early position for 260,000 and action was folded around to Shunsuke Ishikawa in the big blind who looked down at his cards and announced all in as well.

Connor Burchwell: 10♣10♠ All in
Shunsuke Ishikawa: Q♣Q♦

No ten to rescue Burchwell on the 2♠7♥6♣J♦7♣ ruout and he was sent to the rail.

Wheeler Wins Three-Way All-In

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Torres

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

Christopher Wheeler found himself in an advantageous spot when he was involved in a three-handed all-in against Timothy Saeteun and Huahuan Feng. It was Feng who had both at risk as he covered both Wheeler and Saeteun.

Timothy Saeteun: K♦Q♣ All in
Christopher Wheeler: A♠Q♥ All in
Huahuan Feng: K♣Q♠

Unfortunately for Saeteun and Feng, they both held the same hand, and to make it worse, Wheeler held the better queen to head to the runout with the lead.

The runout was favorable to Wheeler when it came 6♠4♣8♠3♠J♠ to give Wheeler the nut flush, which knocked out Saeteun and put a slight dent into Feng.

Double KO for Lee

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Torres

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

Jose Sanchez began the action with a shove from under the gun for 58,000. Ricky Lee isolated by raising to 150,000 from middle position, and Jason Mccarty threw in the last of his dwindling stack to be at risk for less than Sanchez.

Jason Mccarty: J♠4♥ All in
Jose Sanchez: A♥J♣ All in
Ricky Lee: 10♦10♣

Lee had both covered and held the lead to start, and his tens held when the board ran out 2♥3♣2♣9♣9♥ to score the double knockout and send Mccarty and Sanchez out of the desk.
