Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs was down to just 200,000 and shoved all in from under the gun. Matthew Zambanini was on the button and just called while both of the blinds folded.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: 7♥7♦ All in
Matthew Zambanini: A♣J♦

It was a coin flip and the flop of K♣4♥2♣ left Zavorotnijs in the lead with his pair of sevens. However, the J♠ on the turn gave Zambanini a pair of jacks and the 2♥ on the river eliminated Zavorotnijs.

Brandon Sheils opened from the hijack but Evan Krentzman in the cutoff three-bet to 110,000. Sheils responded by four-betting to 275,000 and Krentzman called.

Sheils continued for 60,000 on the 5♠K♥8♥ flop, then fired a second barrel of 75,000 on the J♠ turn. Krentzman called twice.

The 6♠ river was checked by Sheils with A♣J♦. Krentzman checked-back with Q♦Q♣ and won the pot.

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicholas Wright opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Joey Weissman three-bet to 80,000 on the button. Leonard Maue four-bet jammed all in from the small blind which got Wright to fold but Weissman quickly called off his stack of over 400,000.

Joey Weissman: A♥K♥ All in
Leonard Maue: Q♠Q♥

The flop came A♦10♦7♣ and Weissman took the lead with a pair of aces. The 5♣ on the turn changed nothing but the Q♦ on the river gave Maue a set of queens to eliminate Weissman.

Leonard Maue	1,050,000 615,000	615,000

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee was left with just 170,000 and pushed all in from under the gun. Renan Bruschi was on his left and reshoved all in for around 260,000. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.

Wai Kiat Lee: A♠8♦ All in
Renan Bruschi: A♣J♣

"I need help," Lee said after seeing that he was dominated. The board ran out Q♥3♥3♣5♥9♥ and neither player held a heart in their hand, leaving Bruschi's better ace-high as the winner.

No Flush for Toro

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

It only took a couple of preflop raises between Sebastian Toro and Brandon Sheils to get all of their chips in the middle. It was Sheils at risk for 580,000 and they were off to the races.

Brandon Sheils: 9♥9♦ All in
Sebastian Toro: A♠K♠

The flop came 10♦9♠5♠ to give Sheils a set of nines but Toro flopped a flush draw. The turn was the 4♥ and the river was the A♣, not enough for Toro to come out on top.
