Jaka Loses to Flip to Bust

Nick Vazquez

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Jake Schwartz in the small blind, and he raised large enough to play for all of Faraz Jaka's chips. Jaka made the call quickly and the cards were revealed.

Faraz Jaka: A♦J♥ All in
Jake Schwartz: 4♦4♣

The board came out K♠Q♦9♦2♠2♦, meaning Jaka had busted from the tournament.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 8♣A♣3♦, Robert Borick in the small blind bet, Clément Meunier under the gun raised all-in and Borick snap-call, finding himself at risk for 170,000.

Robert Borick: A♠10♠ All in
Clément Meunier: Q♣10♣

Borick flopped top pair but Meunier still had a flush draw. The 8♥ turn didn't change anything, but the 5♣ river completed Meunier's flush. "French are very lucky," Borick was before walking away. "I agree," Meunier answered while scooping the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A completed board of 5♥3♦2♣10♣3♣ was spread across the felt and Valeriano Moreno was already all in and ready to leave the table. Pete Chen and Nazar Buhaiov were heads-up in the side pot that had well over 100,000 in the middle at this point.

Chen checked from early position and Buhaiov splashed in a bet of 140,000. Chen quickly called and tabled 10♠8♠ for top pair. However, Buhaiov turned over K♥10♥ for a better kicker to win the side pot and Moreno's A♥J♣ went into the muck for the main pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ran Ilani opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Francois Pirault shipped all in for 105,000 on the button. Ludovic Uzan just called in the small blind and Ilani got out of the way.

Francois Pirault: A♦K♥ All in
Ludovic Uzan: A♠A♥

The flop came 8♣7♠6♦ and Uzan's aces were still way out front. The 9♦ on the turn provided Pirault some chop outs, but the last A♣ on hit the river to eliminate Pirault.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Anthony Zinno opened to 22,000 under the gun, Benoit Fiasson raised to 78,000 in the small blind before Asher Conniff announced a raise to 140,000. Zinno folded, but Fiasson moved all in. It wasn't much more for Conniff to call, but he didn't look thrilled about the situation. He ended up putting in the call.

Benoit Fiasson: A♦K♠ All in
Asher Conniff: Q♠J♠

The flop was a spicy one of A♣Q♦10♥, but the 7♥ and 5♦ did nothing to improve Conniff's hand.

Shorty after, Conniff and Phong Turbo Nguyen got all in before the flop.

Asher Conniff: K♣Q♦ All in
Phong Turbo Nguyen: A♠K♠

The runout came A♦7♠5♦2♦10♣, and Conniff was eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After Naor Slobodskoy raised from the cutoff, David Ha three-bet from the small blind. Slobodskoy four-bet to 145,000 and Ha eventually made the call.

Ha led out for 200,000 on the 2♥9♠J♣ flop. Slobodskoy raised all-in for 232,000 and Ha called.

Naor Slobodskoy: Q♥Q♣ All in
David Ha: 10♣10♥

Slobodskoy had the best hand and doubled up once the 7♠A♣ runout was revealed. Ha was eliminated a few minutes later.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Samuel Bernabeu just flat-called on the button. Chih Fan shoved all in for 60,000 from the big blind and Muehloecker four-bet to 115,000. Bernabeu five-bet jammed all in and Muehloecker was forced to fold.

Chih Fan: A♦8♦ All in
Samuel Bernabeu: 10♣10♦

Fan was in desperate need of an ace in order to stay alive but the J♥7♠5♥K♦Q♠ runout was no help, sending him to the payout desk.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Renji Mao raised to 22,000 under the gun. That was met by a three-bet from Patrick Leonard next to act. Action folded around to Mao, who went all in, and Leonard called.

Patrick Leonard: A♠Q♠ All in
Renji Mao: Q♦Q♣

The flop came 10♣9♦8♣ and Leonard threw his cards towards the center of the table, trying to will a chop into existence. Alas, the 7♥ and 2♦ came on the turn and river, so it wasn't to be for Leonard and he was eliminated with his 12th cash of the WSOP.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The cutoff opened to 20,000, then Ioannis Angelou Konstas in the small blind three-bet all-in. Artem Metalidi in the big blind jammed as well for approximately 170,000 and the cutoff quickly folded.

Artem Metalidi: A♥K♦ All in
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: 9♣9♥

Angelou Konstas hit quads on A♣Q♠9♠9♦Q♥ to send Metalidi to the rail.
