Shin Short After Doubling Up Gregg

Frank Visser

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Heads-up to a 7♦J♠3♣ flop that saw Conrado Francisco check from the big blind, and Kenny Hallaert bet 160,000 from under the gun. Francisco opted to check-raise to 350,000. Hallaert paused briefly before making the call.

With around a million in the pot, the two players checked the 7♠ turn to see the 9♦ roll off on the river. Francisco checked for the last time, allowing Hallaert to bet 650,000. Francisco didn't take long to return his cards to the dealer, and surrender the pot to Hallaert.

Zychowski folded, but Voegele had an easy call to make.
