Lucky Sevens Work for Cukrowicz

Myles Phago

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ilan Cukrowicz raised from under the gun to 5,000 and found a call in the cutoff from Neng Zhao. Connor Belcher in the big blind then decided to three-bet all in for his remaining 37,500. Both players called to create a juicy main pot.

The flop came 7♣5♦9♠, and Cukrowicz check-called Zhao's 42,000 bet. The players saw the 4♣ peel off on the turn.

Cukrowicz checked again and Zhao now bet out for 65,000 to which Cukrowicz responded with a check-raise all in of 191,000. This sent Zhao deep into the tank for 4-5 minutes, and he eventually released his hand.

Connor Belcher: J♠J♣ All in
Ilan Cukrowicz: 7♥7♠

Belcher needed a jack to stay alive but got no help on the 6♦ river and was sent to the rail whilst Cukrowicz scooped both pots and a lovely start to the day.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

David Van Noy was all in preflop and at risk from under the gun against Ran Ilani in the cutoff.

David Van Noy: A♦Q♥ All in
Ran Ilani: 8♣8♦

It was a fair fight but Ilani pulled ahead further on the 2♥8♥4♥ flop, improving to trips.

Van Noy still had outs with a flush draw, but the 2♣ turn left him drawing dead. The meaningless J♥ fell on the river.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Christoph Vogelsang was seen getting up from the table after having been eliminated by Tom-Aksel Bedell.

A couple players at the table afterwards shared a recap of the action:

Vogelsang raised to 5,500 under the gun and Bedell three-bet to 16,000 in early position. Vogelsang then four-bet to 36,000 and Bedell called.

The flop came J♠3♦7♥ and Vogelsang continued with a bet of 19,000. Bedell raised to 55,000 and Vogelsang reraised all in for about 115,000 total. Bedel made the call with the covering stack.

Christoph Vogelsang: 10♣8♣ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♣A♥

The board ran out Q♠, 4♠ and the sizable pot was pushed Bedell's way.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tom-Aksel Bedell	460,000 149,500	149,500
Tristan Wade	170,000 25,500	25,500

Barbero Bites the Dust

Myles Phago

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Conor Bergin raised to 6,000 from early position, and action was folded around to Nacho Barbero on the button who tossed in his last 33,000. Bergin snap called.

Nacho Barbero: K♦K♣ All in
Conor Bergin: A♦J♠

Not the flop Barbero wanted to see when it came 7♦9♥A♣ and when the 7♥ fell on the turn he was drawing dead to a king. No luck for Barbero when the Q♣ bricked out on the river and he was sent packing.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Timur Margolin was all in preflop and at risk in early position against David Peters in the big blind who had the covering stack.

Timur Margolin: A♥K♣ All in
David Peters: 9♥9♦

It was a fair fight, but Peters pulled far out into the lead on the 6♦9♠A♠ flop, improving to a set of nines.

Margolin would need runner-runner to stay alive, but the 3♠ turn and 7♦ river offered him no help.

Four Way All In Action

Myles Phago

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Martin Finger raised from early position to 8,000 only for Victor Fryda to three-bet all in from middle position for his last 18,500. Nicholas Olivetti then four-bet all in as well for his last 40,000 from late position. Gabriel Moura in the big blind then five-bet all in as well for 83,000.

Finger, who had everyone covered, went into the tank for a while and then decided to make the call.

Victor Fryda: 10♥J♥ All in
Nicholas Olivetti:A♠Q♥ All in
Gabriel Moura: A♥K♠ All in
Martin Finger: A♣K♦

The flop peeled off 4♠10♠Q♠ to send Olivetti into the lead but also give Fryda outs. The 4♥ dropped on the turn and changed nothing, and when the 4♣ came on the river Olivetti scooped the main and smaller side pots, and the larger side pot between Finger and Moura was chopped. Fryda was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Martin Finger	212,000 92,000	92,000

Nicholas Olivetti	135,000 46,500	46,500
Gabriel Moura	42,000 11,000	11,000

Fabian Bartuschk raised to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position. Tyler Montoya then went all in from the cutoff for roughly 52,000. Bartuschk called, and the middle position player folded.

Tyler Montoya: A♥4♥ All in
Fabian Bartuschk: J♦K♣

The board ran out J♥7♠8♥6♦2♦, providing some drama but ultimately sending Montoya to the rail.

Nick Becker

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Hiroyuki Noda in the small blind who moved all in. Byungeun Shin made the call in the big blind for about 50,000 to put himself at risk.

Byungeun Shin: K♥9♦ All in
Hiroyuki Noda: K♣10♠

The board ran out A♣4♠8♣3♥8♦ and Noda's ten kicker played to send Shin packing.
