Frank Visser

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Viktor Blom moved all in as first to act for 325,000. Andrew Hedley made the call in late position before the rest of the table got out of the way.

Viktor Blom: A♣K♦ All in
Andrew Hedley: A♥Q♦

The 5♦5♣3♣9♠ board brought some chop outs with it, but the river came the safe A♠ as Blom's kicker remained in play for the double-up.

Dai Ishibashi was all in for 420,000 against Isaac Haxton.

Dai Ishibashi: K♦Q♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: A♦Q♥

Ishibashi was dominated but both players made pairs on the A♣K♠10♥ flop and the K♣ turn gave Ishibashi the lead before the 4♦ river bricked off to earn him a double.

At the next table, Sebastian Schulze appears to have the chip lead with a stack of 10,000,000.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Maksim Pisarenko raised under the gun to 85,000 before Alexander Villa jammed for 450,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Pisarenko called.

Alexander Villa: K♦Q♦ All in
Maksim Pisarenko : A♦Q♠

Villa was dominated by Pisarenko heading to the A♠K♥10♠ flop, which improved both players to a pair. The 6♠ fell on the turn, taking away a few of Villa's outs. The 10♥ came on the river, and Villa was gone from the Main Event.

Chih Fan opened to 120,000 from the small blind with A♥5♠ and Adam Hendrix defended from the big blind with 6♦5♦.

The flop came 2♦4♥8♥. Fan bet 105,000 and Hendrix called.

Fan continued for 250,000 on the K♦ turn. Hendrix shoved his combo draw, covering Fan who had 1,000,000 behind. Fan mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Hendrix.

Frank Visser

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Tony Gregg was in the hijack when he raised to 80,000. Viktor Blom then put in his stack of 905,000 from the hijack, which Gregg called after careful consideration.

Viktor Blom: 8♥8♦ All in
Tony Gregg: A♥Q♠

Gregg paired his ace on the K♣A♣K♦ flop, leaving Blom with two outs in the deck. Neither the J♣ turn nor the 2♦ river could save Blom, who said his goodbyes from the feature table before leaving the tournament area.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of J♦2♣2♦6♥ and 540,000 in the middle, Michael Mizrachi bet 175,000 from the hijack with A♣5♦ and Mounir Tajiou raised to 350,000 from the button with 7♠7♦. Mizrachi three-bet to 575,000 and Tajiou put in a massive four-bet to 2,325,000. Mizrachi went into the tank for a couple minutes before folding and Tajiou dragged in the sizable pot without showdown.

Margereson Waits to Hear "Payout"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nick Pupillo raised to 100,000 in early position and Kaiwen Chen called on the button. Scott Margereson then reraised to 1,100,000 in the small blind and Pupillo, sucking vociferously on a straw, called while Chen got out of the way.

The flop came 5♥4♥5♠ and Margerson checked over to Pupillo who bet 200,000, enough to put Margereson all in. The tournament clock showed 225 players remaining, and with 224 making the next pay jump, Margereson waited until he heard another dealer across the room shout "payout" before sticking in his last chips.

Scott Margereson: 9♦9♠ All in
Nick Pupillo: K♥K♣

Pupillo had Margereson crushed with his kings, and the UK pro couldn't find any help on the J♦ turn or A♥ river and was sent to the rail.
