Eychenne Waiting in the Weeds

Adam Lamers

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

Thomas Eychenne opened to 30,000 in early position and Nick Pupillo just flat-called in the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of Q♥9♠7♥ and Eychenne continued with a bet of 40,000 which Pupillo called.

The turn was the J♠ and the action slowed as both players checked to the J♦ on the river. Eychenne checked again and Pupillo wisely checked it back. Eychenne sheepishly turned over 9♥9♣ for a full house and Pupillo conceded the pot.

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

The action began with a raise from early position to 35,000. Bob Shao then moved all in for 160,000, a couple of seats over. Lara Eisenberg was next to act, and chose to call the all-in, before Sam Chartier cold four-bet from the big blind to 400,000.

The original raiser folded, and the action was back on Eisenberg. She looked tortured, trying to decide what to do, she counted and recounted her stack. Three or four minutes passed before she moved all in, a five-bet to 535,000. Chartier made the call, and the cards were flipped over.

Bob Shao: A♥Q♦ All in
Lara Eisenberg: J♠J♦ All in
Samuel Chartier: A♣K♦

Eisenberg took a few steps away from the table and faced the other direction, unable to watch the runout.

The dealer spread out a 6♣2♥4♠ flop, followed by a 7♣ turn and a 9♠ river. A player not involved in the hand let Eisenberg know it was good news, and she could turn around.

As the pot was being tidied and sent in the direction of Eisenberg, Kenny Hallaert, also at the table, joked, "You tanked so long the other guy [Shao] made a pay jump.”

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

Theo Tran checked a flop of K♦2♥K♥ from early position and Ryan Biermann bet 65,000 from the cutoff. Tran carved out the call.

The A♣ turn checked through for the 7♥ to appear on the river. Tran checked again, but Biermann bet 125,000. Tran went into the tank for quite some time before ultimately folding and revealing Q♠Q♣. Biermann refused to show, as instead he added some chips to his stack.

Sava Krink

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

The action was picked up with the board fully spread 8♠6♣7♦4♥9♠ and around 900,000 already piled in the middle.

Guy Leathley, first to act from middle position, led out for 90,000, leaving the pressure on Leon Sturm in the cutoff. Sturm took his time, considered his options, but ultimately flicked in the call.

Leathley tabled J♦J♥ for an overpair, and that was enough, Sturm sent his cards into the muck, conceding the sizeable pot to Leathley.

Guy Leathley	1,805,000 1,005,000	1,005,000

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

Joshua Kay opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Rohit Mariwalla three-bet to 85,000 from the button. Kay called.

The flop came 4♣6♥9♦. Kay checked and Mariwalla bet 35,000. Kay shoved for 265,000 and Mariwalla called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Joshua Kay: 10♠9♠ All in
Rohit Mariwalla: K♠K♥

Kay had top pair but was behind Mariwalla who had an overpair. Mariwalla stayed in front on the 8♥5♥ runout to take the pot while Kay was sent to the rail.

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

Michael Hawker raised under the gun to 40,000, Daniel Holmes announced all in from the hijack for 175,000. Hawker went deep into the tank, and he said "I calculate that I have about 40% chance of winning,” then called after around two minutes of tanking.

Daniel Holmes: A♦K♦ All in
Michael Hawker: 9♦9♠

The board ran out 5♥10♥10♣10♠4♦, and Holmes was eliminated not before Hawker jumped out of his seat to celebrate so all the ballroom could hear.

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

Action folded to Pablo Garcia in the small blind who raised to 40,000. Aaron Barone called in the big blind.

Garcia continued for 25,000 on the J♦5♠2♥ flop and Barone called. Both players then checked the Q♣ turn.

The river was the 6♣ and Garcia moved all in. Barone had around 175,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes until eventually letting go of his hand.

At another table, Steven Snyder had four-bet to 230,000 in middle position and Donald Johnson called in the small blind. Johnson then moved all in for 300,000 on the 4♦10♥7♠ flop. "If you have aces, you're good," Snyder told him as he quickly called.

Donald Johnson: J♠J♦ All in
Steven Snyder: K♦K♣

Johnson didn't have aces, but instead found himself dominated by Snyder's kings. The board ran out 8♦2♣ and Johnson was eliminated.

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

Sorin Morariu made it 30,000 under the gun and only Peter Ng called from the big blind.

Heads-up to the 3♠5♣J♥ flop where Morariu knuckled the action over to Ng. Ng bet 25,000, only to be met by a check-raise by Morariu to 125,000. Ng pondered, and then three-bet jammed for around 300,000. Morariu snap-folded and surrendered the pot to Ng.

Peter Ng	425,000 311,000	311,000
