Perry Gets His Wish Eventually

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Kim raised to 5,000 with the Q♣J♦ and was called by both players in the blinds including Sean Perry in the small blind and Anton Jancaj out of the big blind with the 3♦2♦. The A♥K♣10♥ flop was checked to Kim and he bet 12,000. Perry called and Jancaj folded.

After the 7♣ turn, Perry checked again and Kim pushed all-in with the marginally covering stack.

"Jesus Christ man ... how much is it?" Perry asked more table chatter of Perry followed.

"You know why I am thinking about calling you? Because I can't lose in sports recently, I am up over a million the last couple of weeks. I am just giving you a gift," Perry concluded and called.

Sean Perry: A♣3♣ All in
Robert Kim: Q♣J♦

Perry needed a club to survive but found none on the 6♥ river to bow out in the last level of the night.

"Gee Gee buddy, couldn't have lost to a better person. Now I got my wish too and gonna get a cold shower," he said on the way out of the live stream table.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Doug Polk just arrived in the Bronze section for the last hour of the night, and immediately, Table 619 was where all the noise was coming from. Polk attempted to sneak in a couple of raises to no avail as he continuously got three-bet and was forced to fold.

However, Polk attempted a raise to 4,000 again in middle position and Randall Emmett called on the button. The action was on Nicholas Sena-Hopkins in the big blind who was lost in the shuffle and posed a dangerous question.

"What are we doing here?" he questioned as the dealer mentioned it was 4,000 to go.

"We're playing who can three-bet Doug? And you're all winning!" Polk responded.

Sena-Hopkins called and they went three ways to a flop of K♥8♣4♦. Polk continued with a bet of 4,500 and both Emmett and Sena-Hopkins paused for a moment before releasing their cards.

"It's that hard to win, guys?! You have jack-high. Just fold!" Polk pleaded with the table.

Scalfaro Fills Up and Gets Paid

Brett Slezak

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jacob Haller opened to 4,500 from early position and Andrew Yurchak called in middle position. Daniel Scalfaro, fresh off his victory in the $250 Daily Deepstack late last night for over $20,000, called in the cutoff, as did Charles Russell in the big blind.

The 10♦7♣4♦ flop checked through to the 8♣ turn which saw Russell lead for 4,000 from the big blind. Haller folded and Yurchak called before Scalfaro raised to 12,000. Russell then three-bet the turn to 30,000, Yurchak folded, and Scalfaro called.

Russell then checked on the 8♠ river before Scalfaro put out a sizeable bet of 60,000, sending Russell into the tank.

"I don't know if I can fold this one," Russell lamented before he eventually tossed in a chip to call. He got the bad news as Scalfaro tabled 8♦7♦ for a rivered full house which was good to drag a massive pot as Scalfaro's rungood continues.

Tim Baker

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Julien Sitbon made it 4,000 to go from middle position and only Changle Lin called from the cutoff.

Both players checked the 10♠8♣6♦ flop to see the J♠ fall on the turn. Sitbon bet 10,000, which Lin called.

Sitbon put Lin all in for his last 44,500 on the 6♥ river, and after a few moments of thinking, Lin called for his tournament life.

Sitbon turned over top pair with K♥J♣, but lost to Lin's slowplayed aces holding A♣A♠.

Timothy Su opened for 7,500 from the small blind sending the big blind, Yuchen Fan, to think about his options. After a few seconds, he called to see a flop.

The dealer showed K♣6♠J♣. Su continued with 4,500. Fan mulled over his actions, looking at his stack and Su alternately. He decided to shove all-in for around 100,000 which was got a snap-fold from Su.

Stewart Morrison

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Ginter raised to 5,000 from the cutoff before Brett McCollum three-bet to 30,000 from the button. A curious big blind took a look at the three-bettor's stack as if planning something, but after a moment or two, elected to fold.

Action then returned to Ginter, who moved all in for 39,000, and McCollum called.

Michael Ginter: A♦Q♦ All in
Brett McCollum: K♣10♦

It was a good runout for Ginter, who improved to trips on the 3♦2♥A♣10♣A♥ board, and received a full double-up from his neighbour.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mengting Hu raised from the button to 4,500, and Landon Brown called from the small blind.

Both players checked the A♣5♣6♦ flop and saw the Q♦ drop on the turn. Brown bet out for 9,000 and Hu called.

The 5♠ peeled off on the river and now Brown bet out for 20,500, which sent Hu deep into the tank for a few minutes before she released her cards, sending the pot to Brown with no showdown.
