Pelz Stacking Chips

Joseph Berg

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ian Pelz raised to 400,000 from middle position and was called by Thomas Graupner on the button. Siarhei Chudapal then three-bet to 4,000,000 with 300,000 remaining in his stack. Pelz called, and Graupner folded.

The flop came 6♣3♠7♠. Pelz bet 300,000, putting Chudapal all in, and Chudapal made the call and needed help.

Siarhei Chudapal: Q♥10♥ All in
Ian Pelz: J♣J♦

The turn 3♣ and river K♥ weren't what Chudapal was hoping for, and his run in Event #67 has come to an end.

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action was folded around to Takuma Endo in middle position, who open jammed all in for 1,400,000 and found a call from Jonathan Kirch in late position.

Takuma Endo: A♣3♦ All in
Jonathan Kirch: A♠10♠

A pretty grim flop came for Endo of 10♦J♠A♥, and the turn made it even worse when the 10♣ dropped. The 9♠ on the river sealed the Endo and he was sent packing.

Jacob Wilson

Level 29 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Connor Dougherty, Yuzu Wang, and Daniel Jose found themselves all in preflop, with Daniel Jose at risk, but with the best of it.

Daniel Jose : K♥K♦ All in
Connor Dougherty: Q♥10♥ All in
Yuzu Wang: A♠10♠

Nobody would be eliminated on the 4♦6♥Q♠5♣2♥ runout, as Jose tripled, and Dougherty was left with less than one big blind. The very next hand, he was all in and at risk again.

Connor Dougherty: K♠Q♥ All in
Santiago Montes: J♠10♥

Montes turned the nuts on the 9♣8♥A♠7♣4♠ runout, sending Dougherty to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yuzu Wang	5,000,000 2,630,000	2,630,000
Daniel Jose	5,000,000 4,040,000	4,040,000
Santiago Montes	4,000,000 2,700,000	2,700,000

Myles Phago

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action was joined with the board reading 5♦4♦6♠9♦Q♥ and the pot at already about 6,000,000.

Hamid Yasini checked to Albert Sanchez, who pushed his last 2,300,00 into the middle. This sent Yasini into the tank for 2-3 minutes before he released his hand and sent the pot to Sanchez with no showdown.

Player	Chips	Progress
Albert Sanchez	8,300,000 950,000	950,000
Hamid Yasini	2,400,000 7,525,000	7,525,000

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Darrin Oremba raised to 450,000 from the button and was called by Hari Sriniva Kamireddi in the big blind.

The players saw a J♥Q♦4♦ flop. Kamireddi checked, Oremba bet 300,000, and was greeted with an all-in shove from Kamireddi for roughly 2,000,000. After taking some time, Oremba slid his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Darrin Oremba	3,700,000 2,699,980	2,699,980
Hari Sriniva Kamireddi	3,200,000 700,000	700,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Gary Girotti had 300,000 left. He put 200,000 in the big blind and the rest in the ante, so he was forced all-in against a player in early position.

Gary Girotti: 5♦5♠ All in
Early position player: A♦Q♥

Girotti flipped over a pair, way more than he could have hoped. He even hit a set on 5♥10♦7♣K♦6♥ and remained in the tournament on this one. Despite this double up, he was eliminated a few hands later.

"Comeback of the Century" Ends Early

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Poker vlogger Justin "Miles" Barnum had just 250,000 chips to his name as the big blind approached, meaning he was forced all in blind, unable to pay the full big blind ante. Harjas Wadhwa shoved from the hijack, and it was just the two who went to a runout.

Justin "Miles" Barnum: K♥8♥ All in
Harjas Wadhwa: 7♥7♦

Barnum peeled his first card, optimistically announcing, "overcard!" His wish was rewarded as he saw a king. It got even better as his second card gave him two suited overs. He took the lead on the 8♠3♥5♠ flop and ended up improving to a flush on the 10♥9♥ runout. "Comeback of the century!" he said to his phone as he attempted to begin the spin-up.

Unfortunately, he busted just a few hands later, as his A♥8♥ hit trip eights, but lost out to Sanjeev Kapoor's Jx10x on a Qx9x4x8x8x board.
