Lynskey and Studniarz Split a Piece of Rohm's Blowup

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

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.

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.

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

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

Todd Birmingham opened to 22,000 in middle position and got one caller in Christopher Alcindor on the button.

They both saw a flop of 4♠6♥K♥. Birmingham continued with 15,000 and Alcindor smooth called to see one more card.

When the 8♣ turn dropped, Birmingham nonchalantly threw in 50,000, which prompted Alcindor to fold but with a question. Alcindor was wondering why Birmingham's betting pattern changed.

Birmingham didn't bother to comment.

Tim Baker

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

Kiyoshi Eda got his final 120,000 into the middle preflop with Min-Sung Lee making the call to try and bust him.

Kiyoshi Eda: A♥6♠ All in
Min-Sung Lee: A♣8♣

Lee had the best hand before the 5♥6♦7♥ flop was delivered, giving Eda a pair of sixes. Lee picked up a straight draw, but he was unable to find the help he needed on the Q♠ turn or Q♥ river.
