Sabag Sent Packing by Brutal River

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Roi Sabag
Roi Sabag

As the hand-for-hand announcement was made, Mitchell Hynam raised to 18,000 in middle position. Jesse Simon called in the cutoff, after which Roi Sabag three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind.

Hynam gave it some thought before mucking his hand, but Simon back-raised all in, covering Sabag's above-average stack of 600,000. Sabag immediately called off, and the cards hit their backs.

Roi Sabag: Q♥Q♦ All in
Jesse Simon: 7♠7♦

Sabag had a big lead over Simon's sevens, and he remained ahead on the 2♣4♦5♠ flop and 2♦ turn. Simon was left with two outs, but he hit one of them on the 7♣ river, making a full house.

Esther Taylor started screaming for the media to come over, and the table was soon crowded with cameras.

Both stacks were carefully counted, and once it was confirmed that Simon covered Sabag, the latter dropped his chips into the middle before he took a depressing exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kosaku Akashi opened to 17,000 in early position, and Richard Buckingham flat-called on the button. Pedro Garcia three-bet to 84,000 from the big blind, and only Buckingham called.

The flop fell J♥5♥3♣ and Garcia led out with a bet of 57,000. Buckingham slid out a stack of T-25,000 chips, enough to cover the 110,000 that Garcia had behind. After spending a few minutes in the tank, Garcia opted to send his cards into the muck and survive for now. Buckingham conceded to some peer pressure and showed the 3♥ as he dragged in the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Juliet Hegedus raised to 16,000 from the small blind and Rene-Charles Angelil defended from the big blind.

The flop came 2♥8♥J♦. Hegedus checked, Angelil bet 20,000 and Hegedus check-raised to 80,000. Angelil called.

Both players checked the 2♠ turn leading to the 6♥ river. Hegedus bet 175,000 just as the start of hand-for-hand play was being announced by the tournament staff. Angelil called after a couple minutes of contemplation.

Hegedus had a missed gutshot with Q♣9♣ while Angelil had 8♦7♠ for two pair, eights and deuces to take down a sizable pot.

Steven Touitou made it 16,000 from early position before Or Anavi three-bet to 40,000 from the next seat. David Cabrera Polop cold four-bet to 98,000 from the hijack, which only Anavi called.

Anavi knuckled the action over to Polop on the 3♣Q♣10♣ flop, and Polop jammed to put Anavi all in. Anavi raised his eyebrows, looked back at his cards, and then called for his 222,000.

Or Anavi: Q♥Q♦ All in
David Cabrera Polop: K♠K♥

Anavi flopped top set of queens against the cowboys of Polop. The J♥ turn gave Polop a straight draw, but the 6♣ on the river was clean for Anavi, and he doubled up.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bogdan Chornyy opened to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Nikesh Chawla on the button.

Chawla called a 13,000 bet from Chornyy on the 10♦A♥6♠ flop and a hefty 73,000 bet from Chornyy on the 8♠ turn.

The K♥ completed the board and both players checked. Chornyy tabled 9♠5♠ for a busted combo draw and Chawla revealed A♣Q♦ for a pair of aces to claim the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of A♦2♦3♠, Matt Affleck bet 16,000 from middle position and Florian Gaugusch called in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♣ and Affleck bet another 58,000. Gaugusch called to see the 2♣ river, where Affleck moved all in.

Gaugusch immediately buried his face in his hands and covered up with his hoodie as he lowered his head toward the table. He spent several minutes in the tank considering the decision for his last 200,000, but he eventually tossed A♥Q♣ into the muck and Affleck took the pot without showing.

Brandon Sheils kicked the action off with a raise to 18,000 under the gun. Alberto Destrade was the only player to call, doing so on the button.

Both players checked on the 10♦Q♠J♣ flop, before moving on to the Q♦ turn.

Sheils picked his betting lead back up, putting 22,000 into the middle, which Destrade called.

The river added another queen to the board, coming the Q♣. Sheils continued with aggression, putting out a more substantial bet of 170,000.

Destrade didn't take too long before returning his cards to the dealer, surrendering the pot.

David Paukovitz had been hanging on as the short stack at the table, down to just 22,000. He was under the gun, took a quick look at his cards, and his expression said it all; it was now or never. He moved all in.

Joel Shackelford, sitting in middle position, three-bet to 62,000 to isolate, and everyone else got out of the way.

David Paukovitz: J♠J♥All in
Joel Shackelford: A♣K♥

Paukovitz didn't want to watch. It seemed like he had a bad feeling, and the flop confirmed it, 6♠A♣10♣ gave Shackelford top pair. The 4♦ turn offered no help, and the 9♥ river ended Paukovitz’s Main Event run, sending him to the rail with his hopes dashed just before the money.
