Ace in the Lam

Sava Krink

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With around 600,000 already in the pot and the board showing 2♣5♠5♣2♣K♠, Ramiro Petrone checked from the small blind to Harold Lam in the hijack. Lam fired a bet of 425,000, and Petrone made the call.

Lam tabled A♣A♦, and that was more than enough to take down the sizable pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Oliver Braddock opened to 40,000 in middle position and got a 125,000 three-bet from Richard Buckingham in late position. Braddock called, leading them to the flop.

The dealer unfurled 6♥4♦3♦ getting both players to check. They also knuckled the turn 9♥. On the river 2♦, Braddock fired 200,000. Buckingham raised to 500,000. Braddock checked how much Buckingham had behind but decided to just flat call.

Buckingham tabled K♠Q♠ for king-high while Braddock showed 9♦9♠ for a set on the turn.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Andrew Wilson raised to 40,000 from the hijack and only Chih Fan called out of the big blind.

Fan check-called a bet of 30,000 from Wilson on the 3♣10♠A♠ flop.

The turn came the 2♥ and both players checked to see the 7♣ roll off on the river. Fan led out for 115,000, causing Wilson to go into the tank. Eventually, Wilson made the call. Fan announced "ace" and flipped over A♦5♠, prompting Wilson to muck.

Sava Krink

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Cord Garcia kicked things off with a raise to 50,000 from middle position. Action folded to Artur Koren in the cutoff, who moved all in for 230,000. Sebastian Schulze called from the small blind, while the rest of the table got out of the way, sending the hand to a showdown.

Artur Koren: J♦J♥ All in
Sebastian Schulze: A♦Q♣

Schulze completely missed the 6♥7♥9♦2♦10♦ board, allowing Koren’s jacks to hold and earning him a much-needed double-up.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After several raises, Ben Jackson had called off his stack of 820,000 in the big blind against Marc Fiorentino on the button.

Ben Jackson: A♥K♦ All in
Marc Fiorentino: A♣4♣

Fiorentino's preflop move did not work out as Jackson made two pair on the 8♣7♦3♦A♦K♠ runout to double up to a stack of over 80 big blinds during the final few hands of Day 4.

Anticlimactic Chop

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Play was already underway when action was picked with Antoine Berruel in the big blind re-raising to 175,000 and Espen Hagen four-betting to 650,000.

With action back to Berruel, he shoved all-in for around 700,000 and Hagen snap-called.

Antoine Berruel: A♠K♠ All in
Espen Hagen: A♣K♣

Tabling the hands proved quite anticlimactic. Richard Green, who was also on the table, predicted that the board would be monochromatic red to split the pot.

The board didn't run as Green predicted, but it unfurled to Q♦6♥6♣6♠10♣ resulting in an uneventful split pot.

Berruel looked quite disheartened, that the table joked he was sad that it was a chop. He denied it, telling Hagen directly, "I am very happy to chop with you."

Espen Hagen	850,000 420,000	420,000
Antoine Berruel	765,000 175,000	175,000

All three players checked the 8♥9♦Q♠ flop leading to the 3♦ turn. Afriat bet 75,000, Anderson called and Bigot folded,

Afriat fired a 225,000 bet on the A♣ river and Anderson mucked his top pair.
