Sava Krink

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jon Kyte kicked off the action from the cutoff with a raise to 22,000 and got a call from Max Pinnola in the big blind.

On the 8♠8♣Q♦ flop, Pinnola check-raised Kyte’s 15,000 continuation bet to 42,000. Kyte called without much hesitation, taking them to the turn.

The 10♣ hit next, and this time Pinnola led out for 60,000. Kyte again made the call.

With the 4♣ on the river, Pinnola ramped up the pressure, firing 115,000 and leaving himself just 151,000 behind. Kyte responded by moving all in, putting Pinnola to the ultimate test for his tournament life.

Pinnola clearly didn’t love the spot. He sighed, stared down the board for a while, and after a couple of minutes slid his cards into the muck, surrendering the sizeable pot.

"Fold jack-nine?" Kyte asked with a grin, but Pinnola wasn’t in the mood to answer, still visibly frustrated as the chips went Kyte's way.

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Justin Liberto raised to 26,000 from the small blind and Anderson Almonte shoved for a bit over 200,000 from the big blind. Liberto quickly tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and hands were revealed.

Anderson Almonte: 5♥5♣ All in
Justin Liberto: 8♣8♦

Almonte would need some help with his lower pair, but the 3♠Q♥7♦J♣6♦ runout changed nothing — leaving Liberto best with his eights to end Almonte's Main Event run.

With two players seeing a board of 9♠3♠Q♣2♠ and 100,000 in the middle, Corey Wick checked from the hijack and Stephen Chidwick bet 75,000 from the cutoff. Wick called.

Chidwick continued for 230,000 when checked to on the 4♥ river. Wick shoved for just 12,000 more and Chidwick snap-called.

Wick had top pair with Q♥J♠ but Chidwick had the nut-flush with A♠4♠ to eliminate Wick and take down the sizable pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Seunghyun Nam raised it up from early position and Mike Matusow flat-called from the cutoff. The flop came 10♦7♥4♥ and Nam continued with a bet which Matusow called.

The 10♠ paired the board on the turn and Nam checked this time. Matusow put together a bet of 42,000 and Nam stuck around to see the 7♦ on the river. Both players tapped the table and Matusow announced a pair of eights with 8♠8♦. However, Nam flipped over A♠7♠ for a rivered full house to claim the pot.

"Jesus! Come on man," Matusow banged his fist on the table as he continued to mumble to himself into the next hand.
