Kaslov Tries to Secure an Extra $5,000, Instead Finds a Double

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

Steven Kaslov raised to 55,000 in early position, Chahn Jung three-bet to 160,000 in the small blind, and Kaslov called.

The flop came 8♥7♠5♦ and Jung bet 200,000, enough to put Kaslov all in for his last 130,000. With the tournament clock showing 414 players remaining, and the next pay jump coming at 413, Kaslov waited for several minutes for the clock to tick down one more player.

"You guys don't mind over there, do you?" Kaslov asked his tablemates, who each gave him a thumbs up.

"I don't care. I have enough chips," Jung replied.

The clock finally went down to 413 players and Kaslov was guaranteed a pay jump from $35,000 to $40,000 before he stuck in his last chips.

Steven Kaslov: 6♥5♥ All in
Chahn Jung: 10♥10♦

"Come on, one time baby," Kaslov pleaded with the dealer as he had a pair and straight draw. The 3♣ turn was no help, but Kaslov made his straight on the 9♣ river to double up.

River Shove by Tran Folds Out Hirschfeld

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

The hand began when Thien Tran raised from early position to 60,000 and was called by Tyler Hirschfeld in the cutoff and Antonio Vargas on the button.

The flop fanned out 6♣J♣7♥. Tran bet out and was called by Hirschfeld while Vargas folded.

Tran kept up the pressure and bet 235,000 on the 5♦ turn. Hirschfeld came along with a call.

The 5♥ river did not deter Tran, who jammed for 410,000 on the last street. Hirschfeld tanked for a long time to the point that the clock was called. Hirschfeld took the entire clock before he mucked his hand with just seconds left.

Alessandro Predaroli raised to 55,000 from early position with Q♠J♥. Joey Padron flatted his button with 10♦9♦, Thomas Boivin called in the small blind with J♠8♠, and Stephen Hesse defended his big blind with 9♣5♣.

The quartet of players checked through the 7♥7♦8♣ flop and K♥ turn. The 7♣ river then completed the board, which Boivin also checked. Hesse bet 160,000 with nine-high, and Predaroli and Padron quickly mucked their hands.

Boivin spent some time in the tank before he folded the best hand as Hesse got his multi-way bluff through.

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

Sam Jakubowicz raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and was called by Daniel Carney on the button and Will Kassouf in the small blind. The flop came 10♠9♠9♣ and the action checked around to the 5♣ on the turn.

Kassouf led out with a bet of 75,000 and only Jakubowicz called to see the A♥ on the river. Kassouf flicked in a bet of 100,000 and Jakubowicz quickly called. Kassouf turned over A♣3♦ and was lucky to chop with the A♠5♠ of Jakubowicz.

Viox Flops Top Set; Gardes Finds Himself in a Brutal River Spot

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

Chris Viox raised to 50,000 in early position with 8♥8♦ and Josselin Gardes just called in the big blind holding J♥J♣.

Both checked on the 4♥8♣2♠ flop and when the 3♦ hit the turn, Gardes bet 135,000 with his overpair. Viox, with a set, called.

A 10♣ on the river kept the board low and Gardes, who had 625,000 remaining in his stack, bet 270,000. Viox had 440,000 behind and didn't take too long before he moved all in, which left Gardes with a decision.

It was only 170,000 more to call into a pot of over 1,100,000, and after several minutes of contemplation, the price was just good for Gardes, so he called.

He quickly saw the bad news, and Viox got the full double, while Gardes was left short-stacked.

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

Brian Arbaugh opened from middle position with 7♥7♦ and William Pengelly defended from the big blind with 9♣8♠.

The flop came 6♣7♣J♠ and Pengelly check-called a 60,000 bet from Arbaugh.

Pengelly led with a 140,000 bet after making the nut-straight on the 5♠ turn and Arbaugh called. On the Q♣ river Pengelly bet 500,000.

Arbaugh went into the tank for a few minutes before correctly folding his set and Pengelly took the pot without showdown.

In a blind versus blind battle, Adam Hendrix bet 90,000 on a board of 7♥8♠A♣5♦ and Yuto Misaka called.

The river was the 6♠ and Hendrix bet another 190,000. Misaka again called and Hendrix showed 10♥6♦ for a pair of sixes, but Misaka turned over 7♦4♥ for a straight to win the pot.

Taddei Pounces on Turn

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

Andrew Wilson raised to 50,000 from the hijack, which led to a call from Kyle Taddei in the big blind.

Taddei opted to check the 10♥10♦3♣ board, but Wilson had other plans as he bet 30,000. Taddei called.

Taddei once again slipped it over to Wilson on the 4♦ turn. Wilson bet out larger to the tune of 175,000. Taddei asked how much Wilson had behind before he slid out a tower of chips large enough to put Wilson all in.

Wilson wasted little time before he folded to award Taddei the pot as Taddei continues to chip up on Day 5.

Weston Wells opted for an open shove for his last 295,000 and Oystein Kristoffersen reshoved to isolate from the hijack. However, Murly Manokharan called all-in for 610,000 on the button and the blinds got out of the way.

Weston Wells: Q♣10♦ All in
Murly Manokharan: A♠A♥ All in
Oystein Kristoffersen: K♥K♣

The aces held on the 8♦6♣4♣J♦J♥ runout, and Wells was eliminated, while the stack of Kristoffersen was cut in half.

Paul Gibbons had jokingly asked, "Doesn't he have a straight?" to Manokharan, who smirked and looked up from his table massage — both even bumped fists.

While Manokharan was busy stacking up the chips, he then realized that he still had the pocket aces and tossed them towards the dealer.
