Big Stack Shift

Sava Krink

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

Action was picked up with the board completely laid out with 2♦2♠3♣8♠10♥ and around 500,000 in the middle.

Alvaro Puchol in early position checked to Raoul Kanme in the cutoff, who went all in for 405,000. Puchol needed some time to think about this decision; even though he wasn't at risk, he had a lot to lose. In the end, he made the call, and the cards went on their way back.

Kanme showed A♣A♦ for two pairs, aces and deuces. As it was an all-in situation, Puchol was forced to show his cards, and he tabled A♠K♠ for ace high.

Player	Chips	Progress
Raoul Kanme	1,310,000 1,045,000	1,045,000
Alvaro Puchol	360,000 276,000	276,000

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

Leonard Sande opened to 20,000 from the hijack, Brian Nachman three-bet shoved for 178,000 from the button and Safiya Umerova four-bet to 400,000 from the big blind. Sande got out of the way leaving Nachman at risk against Umerova.

Brian Nachman: A♠7♥ All in
Safiya Umerova: A♥K♠

Umerova was in great shape with a dominating ace and she remained ahead on the 4♣10♠2♠8♠4♥ runout to send Nachman to the rail and recoup some of the chips she had lost earlier this level.

David Salituro

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

Around 350,000 was in the pot as Ivan Poroliev and Steven Snyder saw the turn on a board of 8♦7♠9♣2♣. Poroliev then bet 150,000 from under the gun and Snyder called in early position.

The river was the 10♦ and Poroliev moved all in for 465,000. "This is so sick. I'm supposed to call," Snyder said.

Snyder spent several minutes muttering to himself as he considered the decision, but he eventually ended up folding. He then grabbed Poroliev's cards and pretended to look at one, hoping that Poroliev would oblige, but Poroliev returned them face down.

2005 Main Event finalist Scott Lazar was recently eliminated on another table. "Queens against kings. Oh well. Better luck next year," Lazar said as he made his exit.

Adam Lamers

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

David Rohm raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Alex Lynskey defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♦6♠2♥ and both players checked to the J♠ on the turn.

Lynskey led out with a bet of 45,000 and Rohm quickly called to see the 5♣ on the river. Lynskey splashed in another bet of 65,000 and Rohm snapped him off. Lynskey turned over Q♥9♠ for top pair and Rohm conceded the pot.

At this point, the dealer looked around for what to do next, and nearly burned and turned an ocean card before she was stopped by the players. The pot finally got pushed to Lynskey and the next hand started.

Rohm raised to 20,000 again and Sylwia Studniarz three-bet to 60,000 on his left. The action folded back to Rohm who four-bet jammed all in for 271,000. Studniarz asked for a count and then called to put Rohm at risk.

David Rohm: Q♦J♠ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: A♦9♦

The flop came A♠J♣7♠ to give both players a pair but it was Studniarz in the lead with a pair of aces. The 6♣ and 2♥ runout changed nothing and Rohm was eliminated with $20,000 to show for it.

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

Alen Tenorio opened his button to 22,000, which Yosef Negussie three-bet to 80,000 in the small blind. Tenorio clicked it back to 165,000, and Negussie responded with a five-bet to 400,000.

Tenorio then moved all in, and Negussie called off for 575,000 in total.

Yosef Negussie: A♦10♥ All in
Alen Tenorio: K♠K♥

Negussie needed to hit running aces after the 6♠6♥K♦ flop made Tenorio a full house. The 10♣ turn left Negussie drawing dead, rendering the 4♣ river meaningless.

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

Jon Vallinas kicked the action off with a raise in early position to 20,000. On his direct left, Pablo Garcia put in a three-bet to 50,000. The action then folded to the big-stacked Adrien Delmas, who put in a cold four-bet to 132,000.

Vallinas was quick to fold his cards, and after a minute or so of consideration, Garcia followed suit, returning his cards to the dealer.

Gabrielle Barredo

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

On a pot of around 200,000 and a board of 8♥6♣9♣5♠, Jean Lhuillier bet 75,000 and got called by Dakota Baggett in early position.

When the river 5♥ fell, Baggett didn't waste any time in shoving all-in for around 320,000 sending Lhuillier to the tank. Lhuillier asked for a count then stared directly at Baggett for sometime.

He counted his chips and picked up 350,000 looking like he would make the call. He finally put the chips back to his stack and folded conceding the huge pot to Baggett.

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

Dai Ishibashi opened from the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 53,000 from Ryan Speak on the button. With action back on him, Ishibashi didn’t shy away, he responded with a four-bet to 185,000.

After a brief pause, Speak made the call, and the two saw a flop of 6♣J♠J♣.

Ishibashi kept the pressure on with a bet of 80,000, and Speak came along with a call.

When the 4♦ hit the turn, Ishibashi reached for chips again and fired 130,000. That final barrel proved too much for Speak, who gave up his hand, sending the pot to Ishibashi.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dai Ishibashi	755,000 310,000	310,000
Ryan Speak	565,000 215,000	215,000
