Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Johan Schumacher opened from under the gun to 2,500 and Kevin Macphee called from the cutoff. Jose Guilher Valerio also called on the button and Mohsin Charania defended the big blind.

Charania and Schumacher checked the 9♥Q♠6♠ flop and Macphee bet 7,800. Valerio folded and Charania moved all in for his remaining 25,000. Macphee was the only caller and the players flipped heads-up.

Mohsin Charania: Q♥9♣ All in
Kevin Macphee: Q♣Q♦

Charania was sitting with two pair, but Macphee flopped trip queens.

There was no luck for Charania on the K♠ turn and 6♣ river, and he was eliminated from the tournament just after the second break of the day.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The board 4♠K♠2♠J♦5♦ was already dealt when Sonke Jahn made a bet, with only a few chips behind, and Ernest Hou shoved.

Jahn called all in and tabled Q♠10♠ for the flush. It wasn't good enough as Hou showed A♠3♠ for the nut flush and Jahn made his way to the exit.

Bishop Two-Outers Yonnotti

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Yonnotti and Joseph Bishop were the only two players contesting a pot, with 32,000 in the middle. They arrived to the turn with the board reading Q♥2♥3♦A♦ and Bishop had the all in button in front of him. Covered, Yonnotti had to make a decision for his tournament life, and he ultimately landed on a call.

David Yonnotti: A♥5♥ All in
Joseph Bishop: J♥10♥

Yonnotti had top pair, the nut flush draw, and a gutshot. Bishop had an inferior flush draw, but a better gutshot. That being said, only a non-heart king would give him the knockout. "You have me, good game, man," said Bishop, making what came next all the more painful. The K♣ peeled off on the river, as "Woah!" could be heard around the table. Yonnotti left gracefully, offering a "GG" to his table.

Liu Coolers Vonreden to the Rail

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Rene Von Reden three-bet to 10,000 in the small blind before Renmei Liu four-bet to 33,400 in middle position. Vonreden then moved all in for 120,000 and Liu called.

Rene Von Reden: A♦K♣ All in
Renmei Liu: A♣A♥

Liu had woken up with aces with a massive pot at stake. Vonreden got some outs on the K♠10♠7♠ flop with a pair, but he improved no further on the 9♦ turn and Q♠ river as Liu scored the knockout.
