Seidel Gets a Shove Through

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With 40 players remaining spread across five tables, some of the contenders in the mix are tanking on the pay jump bubble. Erik Seidel however wasted little time to raise the pot to 105,000 from an early position. Ken Fishman called from the big blind and checked the A♥Q♥J♠ flop. Seidel jammed for 240,000 - exactly the size of the pot - and Fishman folded.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Scott Bohlman raised to 105,000 in the hijack and Erik Seidel three-bet to 360,000 in the cutoff. Bohlman announced all in and Seidel called off the extra 60,000 chips in front of him.

Erik Seidel: K♣K♦Q♣5♠ All in
Scott Bohlman: A♠A♦J♠7♦

The flop came K♠10♦5♣ and Seidel took the lead with a set of kings. The Q♥ on the turn improved Bohlman to a straight but the 10♥ on the river reversed the roles again as Seidel made a full house to double up.

"That's a made-for-TV runout," David Paredes said after the hand.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Scott Bohlman was unable to beat the A♠A♥10♠2♣ of Simeon Tsonev on the 8♥8♠7♣Q♦K♦ runout and was sent to the rail when his A♣QxJxJ♣ failed to improve.

Shortly after, Ben Lamb raised to 105,000 and then called the all-in of Jeffrey Whittinghill for 330,000 total.

Jeffrey Whittinghill: A♥J♥J♠8♠ All in
Ben Lamb: 10♦8♥7♦6♥

The board ran out 10♠7♥5♠4♠4♦ and Whittinghill turned a flush to survive.

Moments later, Jorryt van Hoof took a hit when Marcello Del Grosso flopped a set and rivered quads with K♦K♠10♠10♥ on the K♥5♦2♥8♣K♣ runout.

Player	Chips	Progress
Simeon Tsonev	2,500,000 270,000	270,000

Simon Lofberg was all-in for 710,000 with the Q♠J♦J♣9♠ and up against the K♦Q♦J♠8♥ of Quan Zhou. The A♥10♣7♠J♥6♠ board gave Lofberg a set of jacks but the same card improved Zhou to broadway, sending the Chinese businessman towards the top of the leaderboard.

Ray Attiyah: A♥A♠6♦3♦ All in
Quan Zhou: K♣9♣8♠3♠

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised the pot off a shorter stack and then got his chips into the middle against Michael Rocco.

Stephen Chidwick: K♦K♥5♠3♥ All in
Michael Rocco: A♥A♦A♣4♠

The 9♦8♥7♠6♠5♥ board delivered a straight on the board but neither of the players could use that, which ensured that the pair of aces remained ahead of kings to knock out Chidwick.

"You take his chips and his soul, eh?" Dominykas Karmazinas said with a grin on the face.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Three ways to the K♣10♣8♦ flop, Sean Rafael checked out of the small blind and Brant Hale moved all-in for 355,000 in the big blind. Quan Zhou called in the hijack and Rafael folded after brief consideration.

Brant Hale: A♦K♦Q♥10♠ All in
Quan Zhou: J♥10♦8♣7♣

Hale was ahead with the top two pair and the 2♦ turn added the diamond draw on top. However, the 8♠ came on the river and Zhou made a full house to send Hale to the rail with a bad beat story to tell.

Quan Zhou	5,575,000 875,000	875,000

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Quan Zhou opened to 105,000 from early position and Michael Wang three-bet to 315,000 out of the big blind. Zhou just called and the flop of K♥J♦2♣ hit the felt. Wang let out with a bet of 100,000 and Zhou raised, forcing Wang to call off his last 5,000 chips.

Michael Wang: A♠K♠9♦8♦ All in
Quan Zhou: J♣10♥10♣7♣

The 2♠ on the turn narrowed Zhou's outs and the 5♥ on the river secured the double up for Wang.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andreas Zampas raised to 140,000 from early position and was three-bet to 480,000 by Ben Lamb in the cutoff. Action folded back to Zampas, who quickly called all in for slightly less to put himself at risk.

Andreas Zampas: K♠K♦Q♣J♠ All in
Ben Lamb: A♣K♥Q♥8♣

The A♠6♠Q♠ flop improved Zampas to the nuts flush and the 10♥ turn left him one card away from a double up. However, the A♦ river struck lightning for Lamb — improving his two pair to a full house to eliminate Zamaps from the tournament

Robert Mizrachi raised to 85,000 in the cutoff and Jorryt van Hoof raised the pot to 295,000 in the small blind. Thomas Taylor shoved all in for 710,000 in the big blind which got Mizrachi to fold but Van Hoof called off his stack of 505,000.

Jorryt van Hoof: K♠K♥Q♣6♣ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♥K♦5♥4♦

The flop came 8♠3♥2♠ and Taylor picked up a wheel wrap to go with his lone overcard. The 7♦ on the turn and the 9♥ on the river bricked out and Van Hoof held on for a double-up.
