Jackpot for Fewster

Tim Baker

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

[Removed:548] made it 50,000 under the gun with Michael Miravi and Henry Fewster calling in middle position. Maxim Panyak chose to defend his big blind, and they headed to the flop four ways.

After two checks on the 7♥2♦4♦ flop, Miravi bet 125,000, which only Fewster called from the next seat.

Heads-up now to the A♣ turn. Miravi jammed for Fewster's 405,000, and Fewster called at lightning speed.

Henry Fewster: 7♠7♦ All in
Michael Miravi: A♥J♦

It made sense why Fewster called so quickly, since he held a set of sevens, and had Miravi drawing dead with top pair. An irrelevant K♠ dropped on the river, and Fewster moved up to just under 1,300,000.

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

Viktor Blom moved all in for 850,000 from the cutoff and Yulian Bogdanov put him at risk in early position.

Viktor Blom: 10♠10♣ All in
Yulian Bogdanov: 5♦5♠

Blom's tens had Bogdanov's fives dominated, and the J♠3♥K♣3♦8♠ board proved no threat for Blom as the Swedish online legend earned the double up.

Yulian Bogdanov	2,400,000 960,000	960,000

Frank Visser

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

Yuchen Chen raised to 50,000 in the hijack, and Jeremy Kottler three-bet to 140,000 on the button. It folded back to Chen, who called to the 5♥J♠3♦ flop.

Kottler continued for 75,000, which Chen check-raised to 225,000. Kottler tossed in a quick call, and the A♦ hit the turn.

Chen reverted to a check, seeing Kottler retake the initiative with a bet of 250,000. Chen just called this time, and the J♣ river completed the board.

Chen checked again, after which Kottler quickly moved all in for an over-bet, covering Chen's 1,630,000 remaining chips. Chen spent minutes in the tank before he pushed in his stacks of chips for a call.

Kottler tabled K♦2♠ for a spicy bluff with king-high, while Chen doubled up with 5♠5♦ for fives full of jacks.

Yuchen Chen	4,550,000 2,305,000	2,305,000

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Thomas Eychenne	2,280,000 945,000	945,000
Seun Oluwole	1,015,000 155,000	155,000

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Muhamet Perati	4,300,000 1,840,000	1,840,000
William Camp	1,400,000 130,000	130,000

Touitou Turns a Jack to Crack Viox's Big Slick

Kai Cocklin

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

Rory Monahan made it 80,000 to go from middle position with 6♥6♣ and Greg Merson three-bet to 130,000 from the cutoff with A♠Q♦. Steven Touitou then shoved 335,000 from the small blind, Chris Viox shoved 1,085,000 from the big blind, and both Monahan and Merson folded.

Steven Touitou: A♦J♦ All in
Chris Viox: A♥K♦

Touitou had run into Big Slick and didn't get any help on the 4♣7♥10♣ flop. However, the J♠ on the turn paired his jack and left him one card away from a much healthier stack. Viox was looking for a king or a queen, but couldn't find it with the 6♦ river, meaning a portion of his stack was sent over to Touitou.

"Let's f****ing go, Steven!" shouted someone from the rail.

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.

Hawker Scores Huge Double Through Chung

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

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

One of the chip leaders heading into the last break was Michael Hawker, who scored a huge double against Luke Chung in a battle of the blinds as recorded by Francis Anderson and recalled by Christopher DeMaci.

Chung had a gutshot royal flush draw with A♦10♦ after the Q♠Q♦J♦4♠ turn while Hawker was ahead with J♠8♥ when his check-shove in a battle of the blinds triggered the massive pot in the previous level. Hawker jumped out of his chair and already gasped that he was out of the tournament, but that actually didn't happen as his marginal lead held up thanks to the 10♣ on the river.
