Duan Makes a Last-Second Call to His Own Detriment

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sejo Kasic and Chao Duan had already built a pot of around 500,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of Q♣2♥5♣J♠. Kasic then moved all in from the big blind.

Duan was on the button and tanked for several minutes until another tablemate called the clock. His countdown was just about to reach zero before he flicked in a chip to signify a call.

Duan turned over Q♥10♥ for top pair, but Kasic had 5♦2♦ for two pair. The river was the 8♣ and Kasic locked up the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Kasic had 630,000 remaining, while Duan had 600,000 and was sent to the rail.

Sava Krink

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action was picked up on the turn, but a player at the table shared that Arnaud Mattern had opened on the button and Luka Bojovic responded with a three-bet to 145,000. Mattern made the call to see a flop.

On the 6♦10♥A♣ flop, Bojovic continued for 75,000, and Mattern came along.

Both players checked the 6♣ turn and the 10♠ river.

Bojovic revealed K♦K♠ for two pair, but Mattern tabled A♠J♥ for aces and tens with a jack kicker, good enough to take down the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Will Kassouf recently took his seat beside Greg Merson at a table that was selected to go on stream after the next break.

While the players were filling out bio sheets, Gary Tomes limped in from the small blind before Kassouf raised to 65,000 in the big blind. Tomes called and the flop came 10♣A♣6♥.

Kassouf then bet 100,000 and Tomes called. The turn was the 6♣ and Tomes moved all in for 320,000.

"I was expecting you to check. I think you have top pair and a flush draw. If you have a flush, I have outs," Kassouf said.

"I don't think I can fold this. You really didn't want to be on the feature table with me and Greg? You're fine with the $30,000. Just take it and go to the bar with your mates?" Kassouf added as he took a few minutes.

"Okay, let's go," he eventually said, sliding forward the chips to call. Tomes showed A♦4♥ for two pair, but Kassouf turned over 7♣6♠ for trips. The river was the 8♣ and Tomes was sent to the rail.

"He really didn't want to be on the feature table. He's fine with the $30,000. He's a millionaire anyway. He'll let us play for the $10 million," Kassouf joked with Tomes, who still had a smile on his face and asked the dealer to allow him to snap a photo of the board before he headed off to the exit.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Wagner Wysotchanski and David Alvarez saw a flop of K♦2♣10♠ where David Alvarez had a bet of 500,000 in front of him from early position. Wysotchanski then moved all in for 1,275,000 in the hijack, and Alvarez snap-called.

Wagner Wysotchanski: K♥K♠ All in
David Alvarez: 2♥2♠

Nearly 3,000,000 was at stake as Alvarez showed a flopped set of deuces, but Wysotchanski had top set of kings. Alvarez had just one out, and it failed to arrive on the 7♣ turn or 10♣ river as Wysotchanski earned the massive double up.

"Thank God it wasn't tens," Wysotchanski said after the hand.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Luis Carmona made it 40,000 from the hijack, and Paul Gibbons called from the cutoff before Marc Fiorentino three-bet to 125,000 from the button. Carmona four-bet jammed for 565,000, which prompted Gibbons to move in over the top for around a million. Fiorentino agonized over the decision for quite some time before folding and showing Big Slick to some of his tablemates.

Luis Carmona: A♠Q♠ All in
Paul Gibbons: K♥K♣

Since Fiorentino had folded an ace, it looked even more likely that Gibbons' Cowboys were going to hold and eliminate Carmona. The board ran out 10♣10♦6♦5♣J♠, providing no help to Carmona, and he headed to the exit earlier than he had hoped.

Player	Chips	Progress
Paul Gibbons	1,800,000 1,285,000	1,285,000
Marc Fiorentino	1,050,000 235,000	235,000

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Raymond Langbraaten raised to 40,000 under the gun before Don Carrillo three-bet to 125,000 in the cutoff. Simon Levy then four-bet to 250,000 in the small blind, Langbraaten folded, while Carrillo called.

The flop came 8♦8♣6♠ and Levy continued for 200,000. Carrillo then moved all in for 525,000 and Levy instantly called.

Don Carrillo: 9♠9♣ All in
Simon Levy: A♠A♦

Carrillo flung his cards into the middle of the table and was already getting up to leave after finding out he had run into Levy's aces, but the 9♥ turn gave him a reprieve with a full house. The river was the Q♠ and Levy let out a loud sigh as he counted out the chips to pay off Carrillo.

"God, that's tilting," Levy said.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chad Bleznick raised the button and Thomas Eychenne called from the small blind.

Eychenne led out for 40,000 on the 5♥7♣6♥ flop, and was met by a raise to roughly 140,000 by Bleznick. Eychenne called.

The J♥ turn checked through for the 3♣ to fall on the river. Eychenne led out for 90,000, and Bleznick called.

Eychenne showed a set with 5x5x, but lost the pot to Bleznick's rivered straight with K♠4♥.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Will Kassouf opened to 55,000 from the cutoff and Greg Merson called from the button.

The flop came 4♦3♣2♦ and Merson called a 75,000 continuation bet from Kassouf.

Kassouf fired a second barrel for 140,000 on the 4♣ tun and Merson called again.

Kassouf bet 300,000 on the 8♠ river and Merson called.

Merson had hero-called with A♣Q♣ after missing the nut-flush draw but Kassouf had him beat with 7♦7♣ to take down the sizable pot.

River Set Up Sees Feda Walking

Stewart Morrison

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Anton Beno started the action with a raise to 40,000 under the gun, and only Waheed Feda made the call on the button.

The dealer laid out a Q♦Q♣8♣ flop, and when Beno continued for 25,000, Feda called again.

Beno kept hold of the betting lead on the K♦ turn, putting out 75,000. Undeterred, Feda called again.

The river 4♦ then caused fireworks. Beno fired again, this time for 105,000, and Feda almost immediately moved all in. Beno made an even quicker call and delivered the bad news to Feda.

Feda turned over his A♦9♦, revealing he had rivered a flush, but Beno had turned top full house with his K♣K♥.

A nasty river for Feda, but as the shorter of the two stacks, he was eliminated from the tournament.
