Radcliffe Eliminated by Frank

Christian Zetzsche

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

As soon as the bubble had burst, several short stacks got their chips into the middle. Among them was also Paul Radcliffe, who was up against Christopher Frank with a repot. Ryan Hoenig had invested 80,000 by then and opted to fold when Frank reraised the pot behind.

Paul Radcliffe: K♦Q♦10♠10♣ All in
Christopher Frank: K♣K♥6♣5♦

The J♦J♣9♣2♠4♦ board changed nothing despite some sweat with the open-ended straight draw, sending Radcliffe to the rail.

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

Steve Yagudaev raised to 30,000 under the gun, Nicolas Milgrom committed his remaining 4,000 before Mark Steinberg did the same, also with a stack of just 4,000. That ended the preflop action, and the players revealed their cards.

Nicolas Milgrom: A♣Q♥6♣4♠ All in
Mark Steinberg: J♠J♦7♥3♠ All in
Steve Yagudaev: A♦Q♦J♣3♥

The 4♣K♠3♣ flop gave Milgrom hope of a spin-up, flopping a flush draw, and it was instant service with the turn 2♣.

The dealer put out the K♦ river, but Steinberg was already on his way out the door as Milgrom already had the pot wrapped up.

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

Joao Estanislau raised to 42,000 and Eric Cloutier called. Sonny Franco then called all-in for 35,000 on the button before Andrew Ostapchenko bumped it up to 215,000 in the small blind. Estanislau called and Cloutier folded, while Franco was already at risk.

The flop came Q♠J♣7♠ and Ostapchenko checkec, Estanislau jammed for 247,000 and Ostapchenko reluctantly folded.

Sonny Franco: A♠J♥10♣2♠ All in
Joao Estanislau: 10♠8♣7♣5♠

The 10♥ turn and 9♠ river gave Franco the superior flush to win the side pot, Estanislau raked in the larger side pot to chip up.

The turn was the 3♠ and both players checked to the 7♣ on the river. Hoenig tossed in a bet of 127,000 and Frank decided to fold but was left shaking his head after the hand.

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

When action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the cutoff, he elected to limp in. The player in the small blind did the same before seeing Kurtis Tinfow, in the big blind, raise to 48,000. Chidwick called, but the small blind got out of the way.

Tinfow continued for 120,000 on the Q♣5♠4♥ flop, and again, Chidwick called.

The 4♣ turn didn't slow the action as Tinfow moved all in for 94,000; a bet which Chidwick snap-called.

Kurtis Tinfow: A♠A♥Q♥J♠ All in
Stephen Chidwick: J♣8♣7♠4♠

Chidwick had turned trips, which had Tinfow in bad shape. However, the river Q♦ came to his rescue, improving him to better trips than Chidwick.

Tinfow sat back down in his seat as the dealer pushed the pot his way.

Kurtis Tinfow	570,000 124,000	124,000

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

The biggest pot of the tournament just occurred on Table #668.

On a flop of 3♥9♣4♦, Stephen Hubbard, Michael Kuney, and Robert Harrison got all of their chips into the middle with Zhengpeng Liu being the player with the covering stack trying to bust all three.

Michael Kuney: A♥7♣6♣5♣ All in
Robert Harrison: 6♠5♠4♥2♦ All in
Stephen Hubbard: 5♥4♣3♦2♣ All in
Zhengpeng Liu: K♥9♠9♦8♦

Liu had the nuts right now with top set, and was against three wraps from his opponents. The Q♠ on the turn was good for Liu, as no one picked up any backdoor draws. The K♦ landed on the river, which meant Liu's set of nines won him a pot of over two million and sent three players home.

Zhengpeng Liu	2,310,000 1,534,000	1,534,000

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

There was a pot-sized raise to 106,000 in front of Brandon Crawford and Erik Nordstrand then reraised the pot to 358,000 in the next seat out of the big blind. Alex Livingston and Gabriel Andrade had folded, and Crawford came to the same conclusion.

Up next, two limps reached to Crawford and he bumped it up to 66,000. Livingston called this time and checked the K♠3♦2♥ flop. Livingston checked it over to Crawford, who bet 54,000 to scoop the pot.

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

Javier Francort made it 42,000 from the cutoff before Melad Marji three-bet to 138,000 from the small blind. Francort called.

Marji bet 24,000 on the K♦Q♣K♥ flop, and Francort made the call.

The 2♦ landed on the turn, and Marji jammed for Francort's remaining 55,000. Francort instantly called.

Javier Francort: K♣Q♠J♠8♦ All in
Melad Marji: A♦K♠9♥8♥

Francort had a boat, and only an ace on the river would end his tournament. The 3♠ river was clean for Francort, and he doubled up at the expense of Marji.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a flop of A♣5♠7♠, Dennis Weiss checked from the small blind, and Marcello Del Grosso checked from the big blind. David Paredes bet 45,000 from middle position, which only Weiss called.

The 6♣ fell on the turn and Weiss led out for 56,000. Paredes put in the call.

Weiss chose to check the 7♥ river, and after thinking for quite some time, Paredes checked behind. Weiss revealed a turned straight with 9♠8♠4♣3♦ and Paredes mucked.
