Goldman Wants to Go Home, No Dice

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sanchez Gervin raised in early position to 1,500, and the two players to his direct left, Evan Clark and Noah Goldman, both called. Action then folded to Travis Hartshorn, who put in a three-bet to 7,000.

Gervin and Clark both folded, but Goldman called a second time.

The dealer put out a monotone 892 board, and when Goldman checked, Hartshorn continued with another 7,000 bet. Goldman took the aggressive approach in his response, moving all in for 25,400. Hartshorn made the call, and, although the stacks were very similar, it was he who was at risk.

Just as the players flipped their cards, Goldman claimed that he "Just wanted to go home anyway.”

Travis Hartshorn: KK All in
Noah Goldman: 107

While Goldman may have wanted to go home, the deck had other designs for his near future, as the turn rolled off the 6, improving him to a straight.

The river 7 was unable to rescue Hartshorn, with the chance of a split pot unforthcoming, and he gathered his belongings and headed to the exit.

Hughes Falls at the Final Hurdle

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

As play was wrapping up for the day, Anthony Hughes manoeuvred the remainder of his stack, roughly 14,000, into the middle versus Benjamin Ane.

Anthony Hughes: AK All in
Benjamin Ane: 77

The ace in the window was great news for Hughes, but trouble followed. The full flop revealed A74, leaving Hughes requiring running cards to stay alive.

The turn 3 sealed his fate, and by the time the 9 river was flipped over, Hughes was already out of his seat and on his way to the exit.

Astedt's Run Ends on Ultimate Cooler

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Niklas Astedt busted in the closing moments of Day 1b, and his vanquisher Luka Bojovic filled in the details.

According to Bojovic, Astedt had three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind before Bojovic four-bet to 16,000. Astedt moved all in for around 50,000 and Bojovic called.

Astedt showed two kings, but Bojovic had two aces and the board provided no help to the Swedish online legend as he was sent to the rail.

"He played incredible. He folded kings against aces and queens. I had quads against him and he folded," tablemate Katie Berens added.
