Haxton Eliminates Chidwick and Kottler After Roller Coaster Runout

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Isaac Haxton was in middle position and raised to 60,000. It folded to Stephen Chidwick on the button, who jammed in his stack of 375,000. Small blind Jeremy Kottler thought for some time before he committed his stack of 335,000, and Haxton snap-called to put both players at risk.

Jeremy Kottler: A♥J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 5♥5♦ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♦K♣

Haxton flopped top set on 3♥K♠6♥, but Kottler's flush draw completed on the 9♥ turn to take the lead. The 6♦ river paired the board, turning Haxton's set into a full house.

Chidwick and Kottler packed their bags as Haxton shipped the pot, chipping up to over 125 big blinds.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chris Viox raised A♠7♦ to 60,000 from the hijack and Dmitrii Perfilev called holding Q♦10♦ on the button.

On the 5♦2♦6♠ flop, Viox check-called a bet of 75,000 from Perfilev to the 6♦ turn, where Viox checked again. Perfilev then bet 215,000, and Viox called.

A K♦ on the river saw Viox complete his smaller flush, and he checked it over. Perfilev then shoved, which put Viox to the test for his last 385,000. Viox sat back, cracked his knuckles, rechecked his cards, and then called.

"Nice hand," said Viox when he saw the bigger flush of Perfilev, then he made his way to the exit.

Down to only 200,000 in chips and on the button, Patrick Mueller moved all-in and was called by Or Anavi in the big blind with the covering stack.

Patrick Mueller: 10♣6♦ All in
Or Anavi: K♠9♥

The A♣5♥2♥ flop and 3♥ turn changed nothing and the K♥ river kept Anavi in the lead to earn the knockout with a flush.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rory Monahan shoved for 170,000 from under the gun, and Greg Merson called from a few seats over.

"I only looked at an ace," said Monahan.

"I have tens," replied Merson.

Rory Monahan: A♠7♣ All in
Greg Merson: 10♦10♣

Monahan never found any help from the K♥9♦5♣8♠K♠ runout, and he was sent on his way.

"Good game, guys," said Monahan to the table before his departure.

Prost Runs Into Correia's Aces

Erick Torres

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andrejs Prost jammed for his final 285,000 from early position and was called in the next seat over by Ruben Correia to put Prost at risk.

Andrejs Prost: 9♥9♠ All in
Ruben Correia: A♦A♠

Prost held a pocket pair, but Correia was equipped with the best starting hand in the game.

The flop brought a bit of intrigue as it came J♥Q♠10♦ to give Prost the lower end of the straight draw as Correia blocked the high end.

This proved to matter when the K♠ peeled off on the turn to give both players a straight, but Correia held the higher straight.

The K♦ river was the end of the road for Prost as he was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Kyte was all in for around 300,000 from early position, Brian Saslavchik also put in his last 800,000 from middle position, and Noah Goldman in the cutoff put both players at risk.

Jon Kyte: J♣J♠ All in
Brian Saslavchik: K♦K♥ All in
Noah Goldman: A♣A♦

All three players had a pocket pair, but Goldman showed down two aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot. The board ran out 5♠4♣7♠10♦2♠ and Goldman sent both opponents to the rail.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Two short stacks were all-in and at risk over on table 620 moments after the action resumed and both Oystein Kristoffersen as well as Dianlei Zhang were looked up by Yaichi Fukao.

Oystein Kristoffersen: A♣J♣ All in
Dianlei Zhang: A♥K♠
Yaichi Fukao: 8♠8♥

The pocket pair fell behind on the K♥9♦7♣ flop but gained equity with the 6♦ turn. Any eight, six or ten would now help and the 5♣ river was among those outs to secure the double elimination for Fukao.

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

William Camp raised to 50,000 under the gun, Diogo Ferreira Da Silva moved all in for 230,000 in middle position, and Camp called.

Diogo Ferreira Da Silva: A♣Q♠ All in
William Camp: 6♣6♦

Ferreira Da Silva was racing for his tournament life, but the 8♣9♦3♥4♥4♠ board provided no help against Camp's sixes and he was sent to the rail.

At another table, a massive pot was brewing between Muhamet Perati and Rene-Charles Angelil as nearly 1,000,000 was in the middle on a board of 7♠2♠3♦4♦9♦. Angelil then bet 850,000 from the hijack.

Perati was in middle position and tanked for nearly five minutes before calling. Angelil could only show A♠10♠ for ace-high, while Perati had A♥7♥ for a pair of sevens to win the pot.

Muhamet Perati	4,300,000 1,840,000	1,840,000

Ryan Lashmar

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brad Owen opened to 50,000 from early position and received calls from Thomas Eychenne in the hijack and Seun Oluwole in the cutoff.

The flop came A♥5♦10♥. Owen bet 140,000, Eychenne called and Oluwole folded 10♠9♠.

Owen shoved for 620,000 on the Q♦ turn and Eychenne called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Brad Owen: K♥Q♥ All in
Thomas Eychenne: A♦9♦

Owen had a pair of queens and royal flush draw while Eychenne was ahead with top pair and the nut-flush draw. Owen got up from his seat and put his backpack on as the 10♦ river brought in the nut-flush for Eychenne, ending Owen's Main Event run.
