Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Colin Beveridge got his last 150,000 in the middle from the button as Steven Rivero put in at risk from the big blind.

Colin Beveridge: Q♠Q♣ All in
Steven Rivero: A♠A♥

Beveridge had run his queens into Rivero's aces, while the A♣K♦10♠ flop improved Rivero to a set. Beveridge was left looking to complete a straight draw, but he couldn't connect with the 7♦ turn or 3♠ river and was sent to the rail.

A short-stacked Kyle Vandam was all in preflop against Bradley Stockdale and needed his suited ace to hold in order to remain in contention.

Kyle Vandam: A♠5♠ All in
Bradley Stockdale: J♥10♠

The 8♣4♠3♣ flop kept Vandam in the lead but Stockdale improved on the J♦ turn, the J♠ river then gave him trips to send Vandam to the rail in the penultimate level of the night.

Sampson Loves His Fold, Robinson Loves it More

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Deon Sampson opened up the action from early position. He made it 3,500 to go, but Alexander Farahi was licking his lips as he shoved next to act. The total was 24,000, which didn't scare Scot Robinson as he cold four-bet to 150,000. It was a large percentage of Samson's stack, and he apologized to the table after going deep into the tank. Eventually, he folded, with a big smile on his face when he saw what he would've been up against.

Alexander Farahi: J♦J♥ All in
Scot Robinson: K♥K♠

The smile was wiped instantly off his face as the 4♦4♠A♦ flop was dealt. The 6♣5♥ runout sealed Farahi's fate. Robinson scooped the chips, while Sampson let out a quiet "f*ck."

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ryuta Nakai raised and called the all-in from Ran Bi who had a remaining stack around 25,000.

Bi had good hopes for a double-up as he held Q♣Q♠ and was facing A♣10♥ in Nakai's hand, but the board showed A♥3♠8♥10♣4♥ to give two pair to Nakai and Bi joined the exit.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Serge Bottelli moved his last 10,500 in from under the gun, and he was looked up by Kevin Gundersen a few seats over.

Serge Bottelli: A♦5♦ All in
Kevin Gundersen: A♥Q♠

Gundersen flopped top pair on 4♦3♣Q♥, but Bottelli had a gutshot. It failed to come in on the A♣9♣ runout, however, sending Bottelli to the rail.

Kabrhel's Bounty Collected

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded all the way around to the button, who was none other than Martin Kabrhel. "I am all in. Seventeen Million," he announced. In actual fact, it was just 14,000. Franklin Machado on his direct left reshoved, prompting the big blind to get out of the way. "I have casino," said Kabrhel, showing his higher card, "Royale," showing the other.

Martin Kabrhel: K♥Q♣ All in
Franklin Machado: A♥K♦

Machado started celebrating, to which Kabrhel questioned, "Why are you happy? You have three outs after flop." Kabrhel's career in fortune telling was short-lived, as the J♥3♣K♠ flop kept him behind. The 3♠4♦ runout sent him home, as cheers and applause echoed through the Horseshoe Ballroom for their new hero Machado.

"Where's my bounty?" he asked, before letting everyone else know that he was "now the loudest in the room."

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Casey Carroll was all in with a short stack and J♦J♠, up against two over cards that were instantly mucked when neither of them came on the 8♣6♠4♠6♥2♣ runout.

Fellow short stack David Blake in the four seat mentioned he had folded pocket deuces and Caroll replied "not like that.”
