Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Neil Warren
Neil Warren

Oliver Braddock opened from early position and then called a three-bet from Neil Warren, who was in the big blind.

The duo saw a flop of 10♥2♦10♣, where Warren continued for 30,000. Braddock called.

Braddock called another bet of 55,000 on the 6♣ turn and was faced with a bet of 70,000 on the 2♣ river. After thinking for a while, Braddock shoved, which gave Warren a test for the remaining 170,000 in his stack. Several minutes went by before Warren eventually made the call.

Braddock then showed J♠10♠ for a full house, and Warren's Q♥Q♦ was no good, which ended his Main Event run.

Lautaro Guerra raised from under the gun to 10,000 and Artem Metalidi three-bet from the next seat to 33,000. When it got back to Guerra, he called.

They went to a flop of 7♥4♣9♠, where Guerra check-called a bet of 55,000 from Metalidi.

Both then checked to showdown on the 2♦3♥ runout, where Guerra's 6♦6♥ was good the pot with a pair of sixes.

On the adjacent table at the exact same time, Gary Chakoian raised from under the gun to 11,000 and Alex Visbisky three-bet to 35,000 out of the hijack. Chakoian called.

Both checked to the river on the 5♠9♦10♥K♥6♣ board, where Chakoian bet 23,000 and Visbisky raised to 78,000. Chakoian had around 110,000 behind and was in the tank for a while before he flashed the K♠ and folded.

Raskin's Hand Determined Dead Preflop

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Usually, the action starts with a player making an aggressive action. In this case, it started when the dealer pitched the cards.

As is customary, the dealer pitched two cards to each player, or so she thought.

When the action folded around to the button, only then did Micah Raskin in the big blind notice that he only had one hole card.

The floor was called to give a ruling. It was determined that due to there being significant action, the hand was not a misdeal, and as such, Raksin's hand was dead.

Armed with this information, Sorin Cristea, on the button, immediately raised to 12,000. The player in the small blind folded, and Cristea took the blinds in unusual circumstances.

Yuriy Boyko opened from middle position and found resistance quickly, as Jarod Ludemann three-bet to 33,000 from the hijack. Francisco Lopez upped the pressure with a four-bet to 80,000 in the cutoff. Unfazed, Boyko moved all in for 228,000.

Ludemann got out of the way, but Lopez took a moment to think it through.

“I know I’m ahead, but…” Boyko muttered as Lopez counted out his chips and eventually made the call.

Yuriy Boyko: K♣K♥All in
Francisco Lopez: A♣K♠

Lopez was dominated and couldn’t find the miracle ace as the board ran out 2♣5♦9♦10♦8♣, securing Boyko a crucial double-up with his pocket kings.

Simon Burns just recalled a big pot that happened not so long ago, which resulted in the elimination of Matthew Wantman.

John Jankowski had raised to 11,000 preflop and got a call from Wantman, Derek Dufour, and the big blind. They went to a flop of 10♦9♦3x, where once the action got to Jankowski, he bet 60,000. Wantman then shoved, Dufour called, and Jankowski also called, creating a pot of around 500,000.

The players then took it to showdown on the A♦Q♦ runout, which put four to a flush out there.

Wantman flipped 9x9x for a set of nines, Dufour held 10x10x with a set of tens, and Jankowski took it down with AxAx with his set of aces!

Wu Guangbiao moved all in from the small blind for 64,000 and Milan Patel in the big blind looked down at his cards.

"Sorry bro," he said as he put in the chips to call.

Wu Guangbiao: K♣Q♦ All in
Milan Patel: A♣A♠

No waiting for Patel as the flop of A♦7♠8♣ gave him top set and it held up on the 2♥3♣ runout to eliminate Guangbiao from the tournament.

Joey Padron: A♥A♦ All in
Michael Mizrachi: K♠K♥

Padron was on the right side of the ultimate cooler and after remaining ahead on the 9♠J♣6♣7♣6♠ runout he dragged in a colossal double up at Mizrachi's expense.

A huge pot was brewing between three players, and Terrance Reid recalled the action until the turn.

Peter Schneider had opened to 12,000 from middle position and Alexandros Kolonias three-bet the small blind to 60,000. Gustavo Morales cold-called from the big blind, and Schneider also called.

On the K♠8♥J♠ flop, Kolonias continued for 60,000, which both Morales and Schneider called.

When the A♥ hit the turn, it checked to Schneider, who shoved for 215,000. Kolonias took around three minutes before he called, and Morales decided to fold.

Peter Schneider: 10♥9♥ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: K♦J♦

Schneider had a huge combo draw and needed to get there against the two pair of Kolonias. A huge of "Yessss," was heard from Schneider as he improved to a flush on the 4♥ river, earning him the huge pot.
