Wasnock Fills Up to Send Yang Home

Kai Cocklin

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

John Wasnock opened 10♠10♣ to 250,000 from the hijack and Kai Yang called in the big blind with Q♦J♥.

Both flopped well on 3♦9♣10♥ as Yang hit an open-ender and Wasnock made top set. Yang checked it over and Wasnock continued with a bet of 200,000. Yang had 1,300,000 in his stack and made it 775,000, Wasnock shoved, and yang called off the rest.

Yang needed a king or an eight, but was left dead on the 9♦ turn as Wasnock made a boat. A Q♠ on the river was just a formality, and Yang headed to the exit just before dinner.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Johan Schumacher opened to 200,000 in middle position and Isaac Haxton three-bet to around 1,400,000 from the cutoff with just a single 5,000 chip behind.

Jose Bogarin called in the big blind and Schumacher re-shoved to send Haxton into a deep tank with a pay jump looming.

"Feel free to call the clock on me when you think it's been enough time," Haxton told his tablemates repeatedly.

A few minutes into Haxton's tank, it became apparent that Bogarin had also been in the tank. Not knowing Haxton had chips behind, Bogarin folded out of turn. After several more minutes of tanking, Yuchen Chen called the clock and Haxton called.

Johan Schumacher: A♦K♥ All in
Isaac Haxton: 3♣3♦

"I was hoping it would be ace-king," Haxton said as the board ran out 9♥A♠Q♥5♥K♠ to mark his elimination. Despite the holdup, he missed the pay jump.

It wasn't until after the hand that Bogarin realized he had acted out of turn.

"Ohhhhh," he said with a look of shock as he touched his face.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Steven Alper raised to 200,000 in the cutoff before Kosaku Akashi moved all in for 1,335,000 on the button. Alper took a few minutes before calling to put Akashi at risk.

Kosaku Akashi: A♦A♣ All in
Steven Alper: 7♦7♥

Akashi had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up as the board ran out J♣Q♠6♣2♣2♠. "Why couldn't it be ace-king," Alper joked with Akashi before he handed over the pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sam Darkin made it 200,000 to go from middle position and only Nazar Buhaiov called out of the small blind.

Buhaiov check-called a bet of 200,000 from Darkin on the 3♦7♣A♣ flop.

The turn came the 9♦ and Buhaiov check-called another bet from Darkin, this time for 500,000.

After Buhaiov checked the K♣ river, Darkin fired out a third and final barrel of 1,200,000. Buhaiov paused briefly and then made the call for over half of his remaining stack.

Darkin had just a pair of fives with 5♠5♦, and lost the pot to Buhaiov's A♠10♣ for a pair of aces.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised to 200,000 from under the gun with J♥J♣ and Will Kassouf reraised to 650,000 in middle position with A♣Q♣. Sturm just called and the dealer fanned the flop of K♦J♦9♥.

Sturm checked to Kassouf who fired out a bet of 500,000. Sturm spent some time himself in the tank and then check-raised all in for 2,850,000. Kassouf asked for a count and deliberated for a couple of minutes before the clock was called again. Kassouf was given five seconds to act again and then the hand was declared dead.

Leon Sturm	4,900,000 1,630,000	1,630,000

Holding A♦9♥, Sam Darkin made it 200,000 to go from the cutoff with Kyle Grupp calling from the button with Q♥J♥. Michael Mizrachi squeezed to 1,100,000 from the big blind with K♦K♣, and only Grupp called.

The dealer fanned out the flop of 4♥7♣A♣ and Mizrachi led out for 500,000. Again, Grupp called.

The 2♠ rolled off on the turn, and Mizrachi double-barrelled for 850,000. Grupp snap-folded, and Mizrachi picked up the pot.

In a blind versus blind battle, Thomas Eychenne led out for 250,000 on a flop of Q♠10♣3♥ and Daniel Iachan called.

Eychenne bet another 500,000 on the 8♣ turn and Iachan again called. The river was the 10♥ and Eychenne bet 1,500,000.

Iachan took a minute before calling, and Eychenne turned over K♣Q♦ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Richard Freitas looked down at Q♥8♣ in the small blind and limped in, which drew a check out of Mounir Tajiou in the big blind with 9♦4♦.

Freitas fired 100,000 on the 8♦K♠3♥ flop as he paired his eight, and Tajiou floated one to see the Q♦ turn. Freitas checked, Tajiou bet 275,000, and Freitas called.

A 9♠ landed on the river and again Freitas checked, and Tajiou neglected to take his showdown value as he threw out 325,000. Freitas then raised with his two pair to 900,000, and Tajiou paid it off with his pair of nines.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Joseph Ozimok raised to 200,000 in middle position with Q♦J♠ and Will Kassouf called in the hijack with an inferior Q♠10♣. They went heads-up to a flop of 10♦8♣4♥ and Ozimok continued with a bet of 325,000 which Kassouf called.

The turn was the 9♦ which gave Ozimok a straight. He led out with another bet of 675,000 and the clock was called which led to a quick call from Kassouf.

The 6♦ hit the river and Ozimok put together a bet of 1,500,000. Kassouf was given a couple of minutes but then the clock was called and his hand was killed after another five seconds.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Out of the blinds, Dmitrii Perfilev squeezed to 780,000 and was called by Braxton Dunaway only. The duo headed to the K♥8♦8♠ flop on which Perfilev made it 410,000 to go and Dunaway called. They checked the 4♠ on the turn and Perfilev bet the 2♣ river for only 220,000.

Dunaway called and mucked when he was shown the Q♦Q♣ by Perfilev.

In the meanwhile, Hartt Stearns lost the remainder of his short stack two tables over.
