Gorham Sends Spector Packing

Christian Zetzsche

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

James Gorham raised from under the gun and called a three-bet by Sean Spector in the big blind. The latter then fired three barrels on a board of K♣3♦2♥5♦A♦, all of which Gorham called. It was 20,000 to go on the turn and around 60,000 shove on the river.

"I don't like it but I call," Gorham immediately said and Spector tabled the A♠K♦ for the top two pair. Gorham had that beat with 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces.

In the next hand, Ilan Boujenah raised to 2,400 and received multiple callers including Gorham in the big blind. The J♥7♦5♣ flop saw Dimitrios Kilintaris bet 3,500 and Brian Andrews called. Gorham check-raised to 16,000 and Boujenah folded while the other two players called.

No more betting action followed on the 9♣ turn and 9♥ river for Gorham to reveal the 7♠5♥. Kilintaris had that beat with the A♣J♦ to claim the last pot before their table broke.

Player	Chips	Progress
James Gorham	300,000 166,700	166,700

Brian Andrews	180,000 5,700	5,700

Namhyung Kim bet out for 4,500, and Wardrup called. The turn brought the A♠and both players checked to see the 5♠ fall on the river.

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

Calvin Anderson raised to 2,500 under the gun and Barry Fleishman moved all in for 35,900 in early position. Kenneth Lin called on the button, but Anderson reshoved. Lin had around 70,000 remaining and took a minute before folding, later saying he had two jacks.

Barry Fleishman: 10♥10♣ All in
Calvin Anderson: K♦K♣

Fleishman had run into Anderson's kings and the flop came A♥K♥4♥ to give Anderson a set, while Fleishman picked up a flush draw. The A♠ turn removed all hope for Fleishman as Anderson improved to a full house, while the river was the 8♣ and Fleishman was sent to the rail.

Marshal Keisling raised to 2,600 in early position and only got called by Adrian Mateos seated in the small blind.

Both checked on the A♥10♠4♥ flop and a 4♣ landed on the turn. Mateos led out for 7,000 and after a minute of thinking, Keisling called.

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

Boris Angelov, who finished fifth in the 2024 WSOP Main Event, jammed in his last 20,000 from the cutoff, and he was looked up by Derek Kwan on the button.

Boris Angelov: A♦K♣ All in
Derek Kwan: A♥K♥

Both players had the same hand, but Kwan obtained a flush draw on the J♦6♥Q♣2♥ turn. The 5♥ river completed his flush, crushing Angelov's dream of back-to-back final tables.

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

Ketan Shah raised to 2,500 and got called by Bob Shao on the button before Jason Mercier announced a three-bet to 11,400 in the big blind. Shah let it go but Shao called.

The flop revealed 9♠4♥2♣ and Mercier continued for 8,200, which Shao called. On the K♦ turn, Mercier bet again, this time for 19,600 and Shao tanked a minute before calling.

The Q♦ completed the board and Mercier looked at Shao's remaining stack before firing 75,000 in the middle, putting Shao at risk. Shao quickly called for his remaining stack of 56,300.

Mercier tabled A♥K♠ for top pair but Shao held 9♣9♥ for a flopped set of nines to claim the large pot and the double up.
