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

Vinh Nguyen accidentally limped in from under the gun with 6♥3♥ thinking he was the big blind.

"Oh, I thought I was the big blind," said Nguyen. "My bad,".

"It's a fun table, why not, like a home game," replied Will Kassouf. "We're only playing for 10 million, not 100 million, it doesn't matter," he added.

Joe Hindry had just joined the table and he shoved 355,000 from the hijack with A♥8♣.

When it got back to Nguyen, he had something to say. "Ok railbirds, I'm sorry for this mistake. That was called a misclick and, uhh, dead money. But next time I might actually have it, right, would be such a sick angle if I actually did that,". Eventually, Nguyen folded.

Jung Gets Caught Red-Handed

Adam Lamers

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

Douglas Hobold opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Chahn Jung defended from the big blind. The flop fell 10♣3♠3♥ and Jung check-called a bet of 80,000 from Hobold.

The turn was the 9♥ and Jung checked again. Hobold threw in a bet of 150,000 and Jung still called. The 7♠ completed the board and Jung checked for the third time. Hobold put together a bet of 375,000 and Jung check-raised to 850,000. Hobold went into the tank for a couple of minutes before calling. Jung turned over Q♣J♥ for a missed straight draw while Hobold held Q♠Q♥ for two pair.

Jung instantly took a walk to the edge of the tournament for a quick vape, despite being warned already by tournament officials.

Andrew Hedley made it 80,000 to go in the hijack. Small blind Mark Shutley three-bet enough to cover Hedley, and Hedley snap-called for his stack of 550,000.

Andrew Hedley: A♣K♦ All in
Mark Shutley: 4♠4♣

Hedley received no help on the 7♥Q♣6♣ flop or 9♥ turn. The 8♦ river brought no ace or king, spelling the end of Hedley's Main Event.

Winsor Wins Against Bosman

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

Benjamin Winsor raised his button to 80,000, and Hans Bosman responded with a three-bet to 245,000 from the small blind. Winsor complied with a call, after which both players checked the A♠Q♥J♠ flop.

The K♠ came on the turn. Bosman checked again before he called a bet of 160,000 by Winsor. The 5♥ river checked to showdown, where Bosman tabled A♣4♦ for top pair.

Winsor showed down K♥Q♦ for two pair, however, and dragged the sizable pot to overtake Bosman in the counts.

Eychenne Flips to a Big Double

Christian Zetzsche

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

The action started with an under-the-gun raise by Ryuta Nakai and Thomas Eychenne on the button made it 260,000 to go. Nakai then four-bet big to 950,000 and that sent Eychenne into a very long tank. While the pay jump approached, Eychenne was thinking for more than eight minutes until a player at the table called the clock while he had been visibly agonising the spot during the entire tank.

With three seconds remaining on his thirty-second countdown, Eychenne moved all-in and Nakai called with the covering stack.

Thomas Eychenne: Q♣Q♠ All in
Ryuta Nakai: A♥K♣

The flip went to Eychenne thanks to the J♣8♠4♦5♦7♠ board and he doubled for massive 2,420,000 to join the chip leaders in the penultimate level of the day.

"I wasn't tanking for the pay jump, I was really thinking about the spot," Eychenne assured after all was done.

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.

Schulze's Meteroic Rise in Back-to-Back Hands

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Torres

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

Two hands after dinner break sent Sebastian Schulze shooting up the chip counts, as he dueled against Michael Hawker in back-to-back hands that neither player is likely to forget any time soon.

The first hand was picked up on the river on a board that read 4♥4♠A♠9♠5♠ with over one million in chips already in the pot.

Schulze fired a bet before Hawker announced all-in over the top. Schulze quickly called to be at risk for 1,785,000.

"You don't have aces, do you?" Hawker asked as he rolled over a full house with 9♥9♣.

"Yes," Schulze replied and showed A♣A♦ to take down a massive pot.

Hawker stood up in disbelief as he paced away from the table in shock, but was still left with a stack of over 3,500,000 in chips to play with.

The second hand took place immediately after the events of the first.

Schulze opened the action with a raise to 85,000 from the cutoff and was called by Hawker in the small blind.

Hawker checked the 7♣8♣5♣ flop before Schulze fired 90,000. Hawker called to see a turn.

The 9♦ turn led to a bet of 210,000 from Hawker before Schulze raised it to 700,000. The chips had hardly been pushed toward the middle when Hawker announced all-in. Schulze quickly called to put Hawker at risk.

"You didn't flop a flush, did you?" Hawker asked.

Hawker showed a straight with K♥6♠ before Schulze showed him the bad news when he revealed J♣9♣.

The meaningless J♠ hit the river as Hawker grappled with the sequence of two hands that derailed his main event.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it," he said as he got up from the table.

As Schulze scooped the pot, Guy Leathley, a player sitting to his right, asked him jokingly, "What did you have for dinner, buddy?" said Leathley.

"Chicken teriyaki," Schulze replied.

Sverko Gets Azoulay to Fold the Best Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

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

Gregor Sverko raised with A♥4♥ in middle position to 80,000 and Jonathan Azoulay three-bet J♦10♦ from the small blind to 230,000. When it got back to Sverko, he called.

The pair saw a flop of 5♦J♥7♥, which connected with both of them as Sverko picked up a flush draw and Azoulay made top pair. Sverko checked, Azoulay bet 250,000, and Sverko check-raised to 600,000.

Azoulay did some inventory of his stack and with around 4,000,000 behind, he eventually folded the best hand.
