Han's Making Another Deep Run

Calum Grant

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yong Han opened to 250,000 from middle position and picked up calls from Ramon Pessoa in the hijack and Frank Flowers on the cutoff.

The K♦9♦4♥ flop was checked around, and Han checked again on the K♠ turn. Pessoa took a stab for 190,000, only for Flowers to raise to 575,000. Han responded with a three-bet to 1,200,000, which quickly forced both opponents to fold.

After the hand, Han exchanged some words with Lautaro Guerra, who asked how many times he'd played the Main Event. Han replied it was only his second time, and he's made both count. He finished 59th last year for $160,000 and has now locked up another top-90 finish.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

"Would you call it off knowing you're facing the nuts in the Main Event?"

Craig Trost found himself asking this in a heads-up pot against Michael Mizrachi to his left on a board of 6♠7♦8♥.

Trost had committed nearly all of his stack of 845,000 with just a single 5,000 chip behind. Mizrachi, thinking his opponent was all in, called and tabled the nuts with 10♥9♥. Trost had a decision: call knowing you are up against the nuts, or fold and be left with less than a tenth of a small blind.

"It's a pretty weird spot," Trost said. "I mean, it's a legitimate decision."

Trost called and his cards joined Mizrachi's on their backs.

Craig Trost: KxKx

Trost was nearly dead but the 6♦ turn kept him alive as the table braced for what could be a crazy river. But the 8♣ bricked off and Trost was sent to the rail as Mizrachi's straight held up.

Nines Doing the Job on #634; King-Queen, Not So Much

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up with the cards already tabled. Michael Parisi was all-in for roughly 1,200,000 from the small blind and at risk against Johan Schumacher, who had him covered from the hijack.

Michael Parisi: K♦Q♥ All in
Johan Schumacher: 9♥9♦

The board ran out 8♠8♦5♦2♠A♥, and Schumacher’s pocket nines held to eliminate Parisi.

On the very next hand, Murly Manokharan shoved for 1,425,000 from under the gun. Bruno Furth re-raised to 3,000,000 from the cutoff, forcing out the blinds.

Murly Manokharan: K♣Q♥ All in
Bruno Furth: 9♠9♥

“Oh, repeat,” Manokharan remarked, referencing the previous hand.

The J♠10♥4♠ flop gave Manokharan an open-ended straight draw to go with his overs but the 5♦ turn and 2♣ river offered no help. Furth raked in the pot and shared a fist bump with Schumacher as Manokharan hit the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stephen Hesse made it 250,000 from early position before Chih Fan three-bet to 1,225,000 from the hijack. Hesse four-bet jammed to put Fan all in, and Fan called for his 2,920,000 total.

Chih Fan: K♣Q♣ All in
Stephen Hesse: K♥K♦

Fan was in terrible shape against the pocket kings of Hesse and was looking for some clubs to stay in contention. The 4♣A♥3♣ flop offered Fan a flush draw. However, the 7♥ turn and 2♥ river were red, and Fan was out of the Main Event.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

"I'm all in. It's 60-40," Mounir Tajiou shouted out to his rail as he got his last 800,000 in the middle from the button and John Wasnock called in the big blind.

Mounir Tajiou: K♣7♠ All in
John Wasnock: A♦10♥

Wasnock remained in the lead with his ace on the 5♥2♥Q♦2♦ board, but Tajiou spiked the 7♥ on the river to make two pair and earn the double up.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Afriat opened to 255,000 from early position. Tomas Szwarcberg and Sejo Kasic called from the blinds.

Afriat continued for 240,000 on the K♣J♥6♦, and was called in both spots.

He then fired out another 800,000 on the 5♣ turn. Again, Szwarcberg and Kasic called to set up a massive pot.

The 10♣ completed the board. Szwarcberg checked before Kasic jammed for 4,900,000. Afriat asked for a count, but decided to fold. Szwarcberg also returned his cards to dealer. Kasic was asked to show the bluff, and he complied by tabling A♠10♦ for just a pair of tens.

Afriat then jokingly told Kasic "Don't quit your day job," before adding that he folded ace-king.

On the next deal, Benjamin Williams raised from the hijack and called when Ben Jackson jammed for 1,000,000 from the cutoff.

Ben Jackson: QxQx All in
Benjamin Williams: 7x7x

Jackson's queens held to double following the 4♠2♠K♦10♥8♦ runout.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Alen Tenorio made it 250,000 from early position before Murilo Milhomem three-bet to 700,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Tenorio, he four-bet jammed for 4,210,000, and Milhomem called to put him at risk.

Alen Tenorio: A♥A♦ All in
Murilo Milhomem: K♥K♣

Tenorio found himself on the right side of a cooler and was poised to double-up to almost nine million. But, the 6♠6♣K♦ flop was a disaster, as Milhomem flopped a boat to take a commanding lead and left Tenorio on the brink of elimination. The turn came the 10♣, and the river the 2♠. Tenorio wished everyone good luck before making his way out of the tournament area.

Adam Hendrix opened to 260,000 in middle position and Pedro Padilha three-bet to 825,000 in the cutoff. Hendrix called.

Hendrix checked on the flop of 10♣4♠3♦ and Padilha continued for 750,000. Hendrix called. Hendrix checked again on the 3♣ turn and Padilha sized up to 1,700,000. Hendrix again called.

Hendrix checked once more on the 10♦ river and Padilha checked back as Hendrix showed Q♣Q♥ to win the pot.

"Nice hand! Just hanging on," said Theo Tran.

"You know me," said Hendrix.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dmitrii Perfilev bet 560,000 from under the gun on a flop of 10♣3♠4♣ and Juan Carlos Vecino called in the cutoff. Don Carrillo then moved all in for 5,240,000 in the small blind.

Perfilev had around 2,000,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before Carrillo called the clock. Perfilev eventually folded, but Vecino snap-called.

Don Carrillo: A♣8♣ All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: 4♦4♠

Vecino showed a set, while Carrillo had a flush draw. The K♦ turn was no help to Carrillo, while the K♠ river improved Vecino to a full house and earned him the knockout.

Perfilev shot out of his seat at the sight of the rivered king and let out a loud yell. He later admitted he laid down two kings and would've made quads.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hans Bosman bet 250,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 9♣2♥2♦ and Kyle Grupp raised to 600,000 in the big blind. Bosman called and the 4♥ fell on the turn.

Grupp then bet 650,000, but this time Bosman came back with an all-in shove for 3,015,000. Grupp again spent several minutes in the tank, but the clock didn't have to be called this time and he stuck in the chips to put Bosman at risk.

"You're good," Bosman told him, showing A♥K♣ for just ace-high. Grupp turned over Q♥9♥ for two pair and a flush draw, and the J♠ fell on the river to send Bosman to the rail.

"Why do they put me in these spots?" Grupp said as he raked in the pot
