Lee Makes a Big Lay Down to Eisen

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

Eric Bunch raised to 115,000 under the gun, and Octavian Voegele called in early position. Charles Lee then three-bet to 460,000 in middle position.

Action folded around to Brandon Eisen in the small blin,d who announced all in. Bunch and Voegele quickly folded back around to Lee.

Lee spent a few minutes counting out his remaining stack of 915,000 before getting up on his knees on his chair. "Will you show if I fold?" he eventually asked Eisen.

"If you want to see it," Eisen replied.

Lee eventually stood up from his seat and continued to tank before tossing Q♠Q♥ into the muck. Eisen obliged and showed him K♥K♦ as Lee asked the dealer to allow him to snap a photo of the cards.

Koren Out Runs Chen

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

Artur Koren and Kaiwen Chen were entangled in an all-in pot preflop when Koren committed his final 325,000 from the big blind position and was called by Chen in the cutoff.

Artur Koren: K♣9♣All in
Kaiwen Chen: 3♠3♦

Chen needed his small pair to hold to knock out Koren, but the flop was not in his favor as it came out K♦J♥10♠ to give Koren the lead.

The 9♠ was an interesting turn as it gave Chen some chop outs for a straight, but the 8♥ river put an end to any hopes as Koren secured the double up.

Tony Gregg raised his button to 100,000, which Wagner Wysotchanski three-bet to 275,000 in the small blind. Byungeun Shin then shipped in his stack of 1,825,000 on the button, and Gregg quickly called off for 1,570,000.

Wysotchanski got out of the way with A♥8♣, and a showdown was ordered.

Tony Gregg: Q♦Q♣ All in
Byungeun Shin: 10♠10♦

the 6♣3♠2♥4♥ board brought some chop outs, but it was not to be on the 9♣ river. Gregg garnered a big double-up, leaving Shin on a meagre stack of five big blinds.

Jefferson Guerrero raised to 110,000 from early position before Ramon Pessoa defended from the big blind.

The flop 7♦J♣6♥ was checked through to bring the 7♠ turn.

Pessoa opted to bet 110,000 and was called by Guerrero.

The 2♠ turn did not deter Pessoa, who fired again, this time to the tune of 140,000. Guerrero gave it considerable thought before he put together the chips for a call and put them in the middle.

Pessoa showed J♦10♠ for top pair. Guerrero did not show as Pessoa took down the pot.

Vinh Nguyen shoved for 360,000 in early position and Michael Garner put in the call from the cutoff.

Vinh Nguyen: Q♣J♣ All in
Michael Garner: A♥J♥

Nguyen's hand was dominated and he asked to use his 'one-time', which seemed to be working as the 8♥7♣K♣ flop gave him a lot more outs with a flush draw. A 4♠ on the turn was a brick for Nguyen, and he failed to improve on the 6♥ river.

Byungeun Shin moved in his final 230,000 on the button, and Lautaro Guerra called in the big blind.

Byungeun Shin: A♦2♥ All in
Lautaro Guerra: J♦10♥

The board ran out an uneventful 5♦3♠3♦9♦5♣, and Shin's ace kicker awarded him his double-up.

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

When it folded to Kenny Hallaert in the cutoff, he raised to 110,000. Michael Gagliano jammed for 875,000 out of the big blind, and Hallaert made the call to put Gagliano at risk.

Michael Gagliano: A♠9♣ All in
Kenny Hallaert: K♥Q♠

Gagliano was ahead with ace-high against the two Broadway cards of Hallaert. The 6♥5♠8♠J♠2♦ didn't contain one of the paint cards Hallaert needed to win, and instead, a portion of his stack was sent over to Gagliano.

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.

For the second hand in a row, Byungeun Shin went all in. This time, the bet was 535,000, and it was called by Benjamin Winsor in the big blind.

Byungeun Shin: K♥6♥ All in
Benjamin Winsor: A♣10♥

Winsor took a huge lead on the A♠9♠J♥ flop, but runner-runner opportunities emerged on the Q♦ river. The 7♣ river bricked, however, and Shing said goodbye to the Main Event.

In a heads-up pot on a board of 10♥A♥8♦8♥2♥, Eric Afriat bet 100,000 and Nadav Barash raised to 310,000. Afriat called.

Barash showed K♥Q♠ for the nut flush and Afriat was not happy.

Barash raised to 210,000 from early position the next hand, and Afriat had some playful words about his opponent's demeanor as he folded his button and Barash won the pot.

"All day it's raise, re-raise, doesn't move. Like a statue. He sits still like a statue. Not even a word. Just sucks out every time. At least show some emotion."
