Beckenstein Continues to Build with Elimination of Costa

Adam Lamers

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kohei Arai raised to 160,000 in middle position with Q♣J♦ and Ruben Costa ripped all in for 1,250,000 on his left. Joshua Beckenstein flat-called in the hijack and the rest of the table folded including Arai.

Ruben Costa: K♥Q♥ All in
Joshua Beckenstein: 9♠9♥

It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of Q♠9♣2♠ left Beckenstein in firm hold with a set of nines. The 7♣ on the turn left Costa drawing dead to the 10♦ on the river.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Gagliano open-jammed with his short stack and was called by Greg Merson in the big blind.

Michael Gagliano: 7♠7♣ All in
Greg Merson: A♥9♥

The A♣10♥9♦ flop gave Merson two pair while the 6♦ turn provided some hope with a gutshot. Instead, it was Merson who improved further with the 9♣ river to send Gagliano to the rail in the second level of the day.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to William Camp who raised to 175,000 in the small blind. Leo Margets called in the big blind.

The flop came J♦7♣4♥ and Camp bet 160,000. Margets called and the A♦ fell on the turn.

Camp then bet 260,000 and Margets again called. Camp bet another 420,000 on the 9♥ river and Margets snap-called.

Camp showed A♣2♦ for top pair, but Margets had J♠7♦ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Zarvan Tumboli opened to 160,000 from middle position before Nicolas Enjamio three-bet to 525,000 on his direct left. Tumboli responded by making it 1,100,000 and Enjamio folded.

On another table, Adam Hendrix was facing a 700,000 river bet from Joseph Ozimok.

There was around 850,000 in the pot on the 7♣2♥3♦A♠5♠ board. Hendrix had checked from the big blind, before Ozimok made the bet from under the gun.

After a fair bit of thinking time, Hendrix called.

Ozimok tabled K♦J♦ for king-high. Hendrix had a pair of sevens with his J♥7♥ and took the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Michael Garner was fresh off winning a larger pot without showdown and then raised to 160,000 next. Luke Chung pushed all-in for around 1.8 million and was snap-called by Garner once it had folded back to him.

Luke Chung: 8♦8♥ All in
Michael Garner: K♦K♥

The 9♠4♠3♦ flop and J♣ turn left Chung on the verge of elimination, which he could not fade on the 10♠ river. Both players bumped fists before parting ways.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gonzalo Jose raised to 280,000 from middle position and was three-bet by Matija Kajtez to 850,000 from the hijack. Daniele Primerano folded pocket tens in the big blind, but Jose jammed for 2,670,000. After thinking briefly, Kajtez called.

Gonzalo Jose: A♥K♣ All in
Matija Kajtez: Q♥Q♦

Jose found himself in a flip with Big Slick against the queens of Kajtez. Jose stood up as the dealer put out the 8♥5♥6♠ flop, keeping Kajtez's Ladies in the lead. The 7♣ turn offered up some chop outs, but the 8♠ river was a brick. Jose wished everyone good luck and headed to the nearest exit.

Rahul Rastogi opened to 180,000 on the button and Mikhail Prokopchuk three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind. Rastogi took some time and four-bet to 1,400,000 to bring a fold from Prokopchuk.

Primerano Loses a Flip to Bust

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov raised to 160,000 under the gun and Daniele Primerano jammed for 705,000 from the button. Buhaiov got an exact count from the dealer before making the call.

Daniele Primerano: A♥J♥ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: 9♦9♣

Primerano was one of the shortest stacks remaining in the Main Event and needed to win this flip to keep his dreams of becoming a world champion alive.

The board ran out 9♠6♠4♣6♣Q♠ to give Buhaiov a boat on the turn, and meant Primerano was the next casualty on Day 6.

Buckingham Looks Up Jung

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

On the river of a Q♥10♠8♠K♠3♠ board, Richard Buckingham bet 250,000 from the big blind. Chahn Jung then opted for a raise to 925,000 in the under-the-gun position and that sent Buckingham into the tank. He eventually called and Jung showed his A♥K♣, which Buckingham had beat with the Q♠J♥.

"You either have ace-king with spade or not," Buckingham concluded while raking in the pot and added "that was a very good raise":

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tomohiro Tamano raised to 160,000 in early position before Richard Freitas three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff. Tamano called and they went heads-up to the Q♦10♣3♣ flop.

Freitas then continued for 325,000 and Tamano came back with a raise to 700,000. Freitas called.

Tamano bet another 600,000 on the K♥ turn and Freitas tanked for several minutes before emerging with an all-in shove for 1,925,000. Tamano snap-called.

Freitas turned over A♦J♣ for the nut straight. "Wow," Tamano said as he revealed 10♠10♥ for a set. Tamano needed the board to pair on the river, but he missed the A♠ and Freitas doubled up.
