Simonsen Sends Saleh Home

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Simonsen
Brandon Simonsen

Players were already heads-up on the 442Q turn with a pot of around 25,000. Brandon Simonsen bet 12,000 from middle position and Steven Saleh called from late position after around a minute.

The 10 river prompted Simonsen to move in for his remaining 26,500 chips.

Saleh went into the tank and took around two minutes before moving his 26,000 stack over the line into the pot to call.

Simonsen showed 76 for the flush, which he made on the turn. Saleh threw his hand to muck but then showed he was behind with 88.

Serrano Fades Kaushik

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Amit Kaushik all in for his last 35,600 from the small blind up against Diego Serrano from the hijack with the covering stack.

Amit Kaushik: KQ All in
Diego Serrano: 1010

Kaushik picked up a few additional outs on the 964 flop, but did not improve on the A7 runout. He exited the tournament while Serrano rose to one of the biggest stacks in the white section of Horseshoe.

Etayo Spikes River to Double Up

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After each player had committed 16,000 before the flop, Javier Etayo checked from the small blind on the 573 flop, after which Jason Shellum bet 31,000 in the big blind.

Etayo then moved all in for 61,000 in total, and Shellum quickly called off with the covering stack

Javier Etayo: A4 All in
Jason Shellum: QQ

The 7 turn remained safe for Shellum's ladies, but the A river brought "Barry" to double up Etayo. Shellum paid his opponent in disbelief, seeing about half his stack move to his neighbor.

Aneris Adomkevicius

Heads-up to a flop of 6KA where OIigenes Duarte checked from the big blind and Aneris Adomkevicius bet 3,500 from the cutoff. Oligenes put in the call.

The 4 dropped on the turn and both players checked for the Q to appear on the river. Duarte bet out for 3,500, and was met by a raise to 12,000 from Adomkevicius. Duarte thought for quite some time before making the call. Adomkevicius showed the nuts with J10 and Duarte mucked.

Panagopoulos Makes the Right Call and Holds to Bust Gardenhire

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Gardenhire from the cutoff and Ioannis Panagopoulos from the button were tangled in a big pot with 64,500 in the middle on the turn with the board reading J528.

Gardenhire would lead all-in for his final 39,200, sending Panagopoulos into the tank. After over two minutes, Panagopoulos counted out the calling chips and put them into the middle.

Justin Gardenhire: A10 All in
Ioannis Panagopoulos: 1010

Panagopoulos made the right call with his tens but needed to fade the flush draw and overcard of Gardenhire. Luckily for him, the river was the 9 as Panagopoulos held on to scoop a massive one and eliminate Gardenhire.

Nan Li Catches up the Hard Way

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nan Li

With 11,500 chips already in the middle, small blind Noah Bitton and big blind Nan Li were looking at a flop of 1032.

Bitton checked, which prompted Li to place a bet of 4,000. Bitton then responded by moving all in for 21,700. Li took some time to come to a decision, but ultimately decided to make the call.

Noah Bitton: J10 All in
Nan Li: 105

The situation looked good for Bitton to find a double up, but the turn 10 brought some opportunities for Li to chop the pot.

Sure enough, the river 3 gave both players a full house, meaning they each took half of the pot back.

Mercedes Takes Navarro for a Ride

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jose Navarro went all in with his last 33,200 chips from the hijack with the board already at the turn 48J9. Mercedes Osti, on the button, made the call.

Jose Navarro: J10All in
Mercedes Osti: Q10

Navarro had top pair and an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately for him. Osti's straight was already and it was the nuts.

Navarro made a meaningless straight with the 7 on the river.

"Well, I did hit it," Navarro said. "What else can you do?"

Fabian Steiner: AK All in
Fan Zhang: KK

Steiner received no help on the 63877 runout, sending him to the exit.
