Duan Makes a Last-Second Call to His Own Detriment

David Salituro

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

Sejo Kasic and Chao Duan had already built a pot of around 500,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of Q♣2♥5♣J♠. Kasic then moved all in from the big blind.

Duan was on the button and tanked for several minutes until another tablemate called the clock. His countdown was just about to reach zero before he flicked in a chip to signify a call.

Duan turned over Q♥10♥ for top pair, but Kasic had 5♦2♦ for two pair. The river was the 8♣ and Kasic locked up the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Kasic had 630,000 remaining, while Duan had 600,000 and was sent to the rail.

Sava Krink

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

With around 135,000 in the pot and four players going to a 2♠9♦5♥ flop, the action checked around to Anastasija Zavorotnaja in the cutoff. She fired for 50,000, and Arnaud Mattern, sitting in the small blind, responded with a raise to 165,000. Adrien Zychowski in the big blind gave it some thought but folded, as did JJ Liu in middle position.

Zavorotnaja didn’t waste any time and moved all in for 515,000. Mattern snap-called, and the cards were turned up.

Anastasija Zavorotnaja: A♥9♥ All in
Arnaud Mattern: J♠Jx

Mattern had the edge with his overpair, but the A♠ on the turn flipped the script, giving Zavorotnaja top two pair. The 10♠ river was no help to Mattern, and Zavorotnaja scored a crucial double-up to keep her Main Event hopes alive.

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

Gergo Hegedus raised to 35,000 before Yevgeniy Timoshenko three-bet to 350,000, two seats to his left. Timoshenko had left himself 15,000 behind, in case of any impending pay jumps. Action returned to Hegedus, who called.

The dealer fanned out a 8♦8♥7♣ flop, on which Hegedus put 15,000 into the middle, committing Timoshenko, who called.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko: 10♦10♥ All in
Gergo Hegedus: A♦K♠

The turn 7♠ kept Timoshenko in the lead, but the river K♣ turned the tide. Hegedus scooped in the pot, and Timoshenko wished the players good luck before heading out.

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.
