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

Lok Chan opened from the hijack when Fabian Rolli jammed in 210,000 from the small blind. Chan debated a while, then flicked in a call.

Fabian Rolli: K♠K♦ All in
Lok Chan: A♣10♠

Chan did not find an ace on the 9♥5♣6♥3♣2♠ board, and Rolli doubled up.

Chan was left with 10,000, which he committed to the middle after Jacob Powers limped in under the gun. Jeremy Kottler then made it 60,000 to go, which Powers called.

Powers checked in the dark, prompting Kottler to bet 50,000 once he saw the A♦2♥K♣ flop. Powers raised to 120,000, signaling Kottler to fold.

Lok Chan: 9♠9♥ All in
Jacob Powers: K♦10♣

Chan needed help again, but once more it failed to arrive. The board ran out with the 2♠ turn and 7♦ river, leaving Tran to say his goodbyes to the Main Event.

Both players checked the 10♣2♣Q♠ flop leading to the 8♥ turn. Boivin bet 50,000 and Ramsey called.

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

Maksim Pisarenko opened to 30,000 in middle position and got a caller in Ritvars Cekalins in hijack. When action folded to the button, Kathy Liebert shoved all-in for around 150,000. Jacob Frank, to her immediate left, shoved all-in as well for around 500,000.

This prompted Liebert to say, "Oh no," then looked at PokerNews and said, "Write it down, Kathy triples up. Write it." Unfortunately though, both Pisarenko and Cekalins got out of the way, leaving the other two players to head to showdown.

Kathy Liebert: Q♠Q♥ All in
Jacob Frank: J♥J♦

"Give me a queen. I don't want a sweat," Liebert said as the dealer showed a board of 3♣4♠9♥K♠5♦. Vindicated, Liebert's queens held. She scooped the pot telling her table that she knew she was going to win after having waited for so long.

Maksim Pisarenko	1,850,000 1,190,000	1,190,000

Monika Zukowicz: K♥10♣ All in
Hartt Stearns: Q♠Q♥

Zukowicz picked up a pair on the 10♥3♠J♠3♦A♦ runout, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Stearns’ queens. With no further help from the board, her tournament run came to an end.

Tim Baker

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

Fraser Macintyre came in with a raise to 30,000 from early position with Alexander Duvall calling on the button, and Benjamin Scrogins defending his big blind.

Three ways to the A♦A♠8♠ flop, that checked around to see the 6♠ fall on the turn. Scrogins checked, Macintyre bet 35,000, and only Duvall called.

The 4♥ came on the river and Macintyre checked. Duvall led out for 70,000, which was enough to get Macintyre to fold reluctantly.

Benjamin Scrogins	1,400,000 900,000	900,000

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

Guy Leathley raised to 30,000 in early position before George Wang moved all in for 185,000 in middle position. Stephanie Morris was in the hijack and asked for a count as she took a minute before folding. Action then went on John Wasnock in the big blind who reshoved, and Leathley got out of the way.

George Wang: 5♣5♥ All in
John Wasnock: K♦K♠

Wasnock had woken up with two kings, and the J♣4♣3♦8♥A♣ board offered no reprieve for Wang as he was sent to the rail.

"If you don't raise, I call him and I call him," Morris said to Leathley, pointing over at Wang's empty seat and Wasnock. Morris then admitted she folded two queens.
