Harris Not a Fan of Jam

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Brandon Harris
Brandon Harris

Brandon Harris in the big blind and Chih Fan on the button were heads up on the 103Q flop. With around 197,000 in the pot, Harris checked to Fan, who bet 45,000.

Harris called to the 5 turn, which checked through. Harris bet 80,000 on the 9 river. After several minutes in thought, Fan moved all in for 334,000.

"All that, and then move all in?" Harris asked out loud. "It's just never a bluff, is it?"

He then entered a tank of his own. "What do you have?" Harris asked Fan, but the dealer quickly stopped the conversation as discussing the holdings was not allowed.

"How was your day?" Fan asked instead, which received some laughter from the table.

"It was going pretty well until this hand," Harris admitted. "If you're bluffing here, you are a psycho," he then stated in reference to Fan's table talk.

After about five minutes, Harris said he would make a decision within ten second. After thirty more seconds, he finally announced a fold, claiming to lay down pocket queens.

Despite pleas from Harris, Fan did not show his cards, and the table continued onto the next hand.

Is It Hot in Here or Is It Just Kassouf?

Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Things are starting to heat up in the Main Event as the players are approaching their dinner break with tensions on the rise and the stakes becoming even greater. It is getting especially warm over on Table 551 where Will Kassouf has been seated for most of the day.

"It's getting hot in here. Did you guys turn off the air conditioning?" Kassouf asked the tournament floor who agreed that it is getting warm in the room. "This table is really steaming in all senses of the word," he continued.

"If you turn on the a/c, would it turn off the bulls*** at this table?" Terence Clee questioned.

"No, for real, Chris, did you turn it off?" Kassouf kept probing the tournament supervisor.

"Ya, Chris personally turned it off," Esther Taylor chimed in.

In fact, it is getting quite warm in the Horseshoe Events Center and it's even starting to smell like Day 4 of the Main Event.

Iachan Holds Against Kobayashi in a Huge Pot

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Shotaro Kobayashi
Shotaro Kobayashi

As recalled by many players at the table, one of the biggest hands of the Main Event just went down on Table #590.

Daniel Iachan opened under the gun with a min-raise to 24,000 before Shotaro Kobayashi three-bet to 77,000 from middle position. When it folded back to Iachan, he upped the price of poker by four-betting to 200,000. Kobayashi wasn't going anywhere as he called to see at least a flop.

With just over 400,000 in the middle, the dealer produced a wet flop of 654. Iachan placed out a bet of around 200,000, which Kobayashi called.

Upon seeing the 4 come on the turn, Iachan slowed down by checking the action over to Kobayashi. Kobayashi, who had the covering stack, jammed to put Iachan all in. Iachan had around 750,000 remaining in his stack and didn't take too long to make the call.

Daniel Iachan: AA All in
Shotaro Kobayashi: 76

Iachan had the goods with pocket rockets, while Kobayashi was at it preflop with a suited connector. However, Kobayashi had a straight flush draw, and a six he could hit to win the pot and eliminate Iachan. The river was the Q, and Iachan won a pot of over two million.

Staschewski Keeps Mum

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daehyung Lee opened to 24,000 under the gun and got called by Andreas Staschewski in the small blind.

The flop dropped 6J4 and both players checked. The turn Q was check-raised by Staschewski to 80,000 after Lee bet 30,000, who called.

After a few seconds of thought, Staschewski placed in another 175,000 which made Lee fold. Lee was trying to get information as to what Staschewski was holding but Staschewski kept mum while he fixed his boosted stack.

Runner Runner Two Pair

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Waheed Feda started the action under the gun with a 24,000 bet and got called by Sergio Veloso in middle position and Moshe Refaelovitz on the button.

The trio saw a 947 flop and after action was checked to him, Refaelovitz bet 36,000. Feda called by Veloso got out of the way.

The turn K was check-called by Feda after a 76,000 bet from Refaelovitz.

On the river Q the same thing happened after Refaelovitz bet 160,000.

Refaelovitz tabled KQ prompting Feda to muck his hand as he shook his head muttering to himself.
