Chung Doubles Through Perry

Christian Zetzsche

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

Five ways to the A♣10♦8♥ flop with 3,500 each invested, the action was checked to Sean Perry and he bet 6,000 with the 10♥8♣ for bottom two pair. Valentyn Shabelnyk folded the 6♥6♦ while Christian Chung raised to 19,000. Clifford Mills folded the 9♣7♣ from the small blind and Srikanth Koneru got rid of the Q♥J♥ as well.

Perry reluctantly called and then checked the 5♠ on the turn. Chung bet 30,000 with 36,000 behind and Perry check-jammed to get instantly called by Chung.

The 9♥ river changed nothing and Chung earned the double.

Liam Gannon

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

Aciton was picked up on the flop in a pot between Michael Squizzato from under the gun, Jeremy Ausmus in middle position, and Kenneth O'Donnell in late position.

The flop read 7♣J♠Q♣ and Squizzato moved all in for 28,000 which saw Ausmus call. O'Donnell moved all in for 72,000 effective and Ausmus went into the tank for some time before folding what he said was ace-queen.

Michael Squizzato: A♣A♦ All in
Kenneth O'Donnell: 7♥7♦

O'Donnell held up on the 4♥4♣ runout and Squizzato was eliminated from the tournament while Ausmus was left as one of the shorter stacks at the table.

Lucky Fishbein Finds Value

Frank Visser

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

In a three-bet pot worth 34,000, Jacob Fishbein bet 8,000 from the small blind on the 5♦7♣6♠ flop. Joseph Liberta called on the button, and called another bet from Fishbein on the 7♦ turn.

The river saw the Q♦ appear. Fishbein put in a third barrel worth 13,000, which Liberta called after some time in the tank. Fishbein tabled A♦Q♣ for queens and sevens, and Liberta sighed as he mucked his cards.

"Nice hand," Liberta told his opponent.

"Thanks. I got lucky on the river," Fishbein admitted.

Small Blind Special for Han

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Myles Phago

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

Andrew Karkenny raised from late position to 3,000 and found calls from Man Tse on the cutoff, Yong Han in the small blind and Christopher Meyers in the big blind.

The flop came J♣8♥A♥, and it was checked to Karkenny, who continued for 5,000 and got calls from Tse and Meyers. All players checked the 3♣ on the turn as they did the 9♣ river.

Han proudly turned over his J♥3♥, knowing that he had the best hand and he wasn't wrong and was pushed the pot.
