Barker Finds a Two-Outer to Bust Misaka

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Frank Flowers raised to 150,000 under the gun and Yuto Misaka moved all in for 400,000 in early position. Myles Barker then reshoved for 1,000,000 in middle position, and Flowers got out of the way.

Yuto Misaka: A♦A♠ All in
Myles Barker: K♣K♠

Barker had run his kings into Misaka's aces and was about to be forced to hand over a big portion of his stack as the board came J♥5♦7♠4♣, but he spiked the K♥ on the river to win the pot and send Misaka to the rail.

Misaka took the horrific beat in stride and graciously wished the table luck before heading for the exit.

Simon Gets a Penalty

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jesse Simon made it 120,000 under the gun with Joey Padron calling from the next seat, Tony Gregg calling from middle poisiton, and Alen Tenorio defending his big blind.

When it checked to Simon on the 3♥5♥6♠ flop, he bet 225,000, which was only called by Tenorio.

The 6♥ landed on the turn, and after about thirty seconds, Tenorio picked up chips and began to extend his hand toward the middle, preparing to bet. A split-second before he was able to place the chips down, Simon declared, “All in.”

The floor was called, and it was ruled that Simon’s action would stand only if Tenorio checked, but could be retracted if Tenorio bet. Visibly confused by the events, Tenorio ultimately chose to check, locking in Simon’s all-in for 635,000.

Visibly confused by the turn of events, Tenorio folded. Simon revealed 7x7x and was subsequently given a one-round penalty for acting out of turn. He apologized to the table, explaining that he believed Tenorio had already bet and thought he was moving all in over the top immediately after.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With J♠6♠, Paul Gibbons raised the button to 120,000 and only Chih Fan defended out of the big blind holding A♦4♠.

Fan knuckled the action over to Gibbons on the 7♥3♠6♣ flop, and Gibbons bet 100,000. Fan meticulously gathered together a check-raise to 265,000, which Gibbons immediately called.

Fam slowed down and checked the 6♥ turn, allowing Gibbons to bet 250,000. Fan folded, and Gibbons won the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jarod Minghini three-bet to 450,000 in early position and Wagner Wysotchanski called under the gun.

The flop came 10♥6♦A♣ and Minghini bet 200,000. Wysotchanski called and the 7♦ fell on the turn. Minghini then bet 1,200,000 and Wysotchanski again called.

The 4♣ fell on the river and Minghini bet 2,000,000. Wysotchanki took a few minutes before calling, and Minghini turned over A♥A♠ for top set to win the massive pot.

The next hand, Francis Anderson opened to 125,000 in early position and Brandon Eisen called in middle position. Wysotchanski then three-bet to 335,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.

Wysotchanski moved all in for 800,000 on the 8♥7♥6♦ flop and Anderson folded, but Eisen snap-called.

Wagner Wysotchanski: 9♠9♣ All in
Brandon Eisen: 8♠8♦

Wysotchanski had run into top set for the second straight hand, but this time he spiked the 9♥ on the turn to make a higher set. The 9♦ river improved him to quads and he got some of his chips back.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alexis Lucarini opened from the hijack and John Wasnock shoved from the big blind for 1,060,000. Lucarini snap-called.

John Wasnock: J♥J♦ All in
Alexis Lucarini: A♠A♦

Wasnock was behind with his pocket jacks, but soon flipped the script as he made a set on the 5♦8♦J♠ flop. A 7♣ on the turn left Lucarini with just two outs, but the 4♥ wasn't one of them, meaning Wasnock doubled up.

Dunaway Dusts Off Wilson

Adam Lamers

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andy Wilson was down to just 575,000 and ripped all in from the hijack. Braxton Dunaway asked for a count from the small blind and then called to put Wilson at risk.

Andy Wilson: A♠7♥ All in
Braxton Dunaway: A♦8♥

Dunaway held a slight preflop edge but there was certainly potential for a chop to keep Wilson alive. The flop came Q♠10♣2♠ which connected with neither player. The 5♥ on the turn made a split pot more unlikely and the 8♦ on the river confirmed it as Dunaway made a pair to elimiante Wilson.

Ben Jackson raised to 120,000 in early position and Mark Shutley called on the button. Derek Dufour then moved all in for 405,000 in the small blind, Jackson folded, while Shutley quickly called.

Derek Dufour: K♣Q♦ All in
Mark Shutley: A♣8♣

Shutley hit top pair and picked up the nut flush draw on the A♦9♣4♣ flop, then made his flush on the 5♣ turn. Dufour was drawing dead going to the 3♥ river and was sent to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alexis Lucarini made it 120,000 to go from under the gun with Q♥Q♣ and Vladimir Nex three-bet from early position to 300,000 holding J♥J♣. Lucarini shoved for around 1,785,000, and Nex went into the tank before he finally found the fold with his jacks.

Shortly after, Ryan Lenaghan shoved for 575,000 from under the gun and Nex called in early position. Jameson Painter then three-bet to 2,095,000, which forced Nex to fold his A♦Q♦.

Ryan Lenaghan: K♦10♦ All in
Jameson Painter: A♥K♥

Lenaghan was up against it, and fell further behind on the A♠8♦9♣ flop. However, a 7♦ on the turn gave him a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. The 2♠ was a brick, though, and Lenaghan hit the rail.

Calum Grant

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Will Kassouf's seat was empty for the first hand of the day, making it a quick one for the players at the table. Kohei Arai opened to 120,000 from middle position but folded after Ruben Costa jammed for 815,000 from the next seat over.

On the next deal, Sam Darkin opened to 125,000 from the hijack, with the action folding to Yuhang Chen in the small blind. He made it 500,000. Darkin stuck around to see the A♦10♠6♥ flop, and he called Chen's bet of 325,000. Chen fired out another 1,000,000 on the 8♠ turn, and Darkin called to set up a big pot in the early goings.

With around a million behind, Chen checked when the Q♦ river completed the board. Darkin announced all-in as the covering stack.

As Chen mulled over his options, Kassouf finally turned up.

"Morning, better late than ever," said Kassouf, who continued to talk while Chen was in the tank.

Chen eventually called, but was shown the bad news as Darkin turned a set with 8♦8♣, besting Chen's A♣K♠.

"Whoops, casualty already and I haven't event sat down yet," chimed Kassouf as he got out his phone to film the board, almost putting his device in Chen's face.

"They're dusting off already," Kassouf continued as he took his seat.
