Kassouf Gets What He is Deserved

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

Joshua Beckenstein raised to 200,000 in the hijack with AK and Will Kassouff three-bet to 700,000 in the small blind with 99. Beckenstein counted out a four-bet to 1,600,000 and Kassouf called after the clock was asked for.

The flop came J52 and Kassouf checked to Beckenstein who threw in a bet of 550,000. Kassouf spent nearly five minutes in the tank before finally calling. The K peeled off on the turn and Kassouf checked again. After a few seconds, Kassouf tried to call the clock on Beckenstein but more time was given before Beckenstein announced a bet of 2,000,000.

The clock was called on Kassouf and he was given five seconds to act before his cards were deemed to be dead.

"Can you get Jack Effel over here, please?" Kassouf asked. The rail cheered and Kassouf was overly disturbed at the ruling despite wasting an egregious amount of time throughout the day.

Margets Cracks Aces w/ the Nuts

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

Chad Power opened to 225,000 in early position and Leo Margets called in middle position.

Power bet 150,000 on the 54K flop and Margets called. Power then checked on the 8 turn and Margets bet 245,000. Power called.

Power checked once more on the 2 river and Margets took some time before betting 815,000 as the cocktail server came by for drink orders — black coffee for Alen Tenorio and green tea for Murilo Milhomem.

"Nitty call," Power said he showed AA to be crushed by the nuts of Margets with 76.

Zychowski Welcomes Wysotchanski to the Table

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

Wagner Wysotchanski had just moved to a new seat when, on his first hand, he opened to 250,000 in early position. Adrien Zychowski then moved all in for 1,420,000 in middle position and Wysotchanski called.

Adrien Zychowski: 99 All in
Wagner Wysotchanski: 88

Zychowski was a big favorite to double up, and he didn't have to wait long to secure the double up as the 993 flop gave him quads. His large rail erupted in celebration while the rest of the J4 board was a mere formality before he raked in the pot.

Eric Afriat
Eric Afriat

Michael Parisi opened to 200,000 from early position. Tomas Szwarcberg and Sejo Kasic called from the cutoff and button. Hartt Stearns and Eric Afriat then came along from the blinds, swelling the pot to 1,100,000 preflop.

The action checked to Szwarcberg on the K54 flop, and he bet 225,000. Only Afriat and Parisi called.

Afriat led out for 550,000 on the 9 turn, and folded out his remaining opponents.

Some Updated Chip Counts

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

Bogdanov Done Away by Dunaway

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

The action folded to Yulian Bogdanov on the button and he open-jammed his short stack of 1,230,000. Table chip leader Braxton Dunaway called from the small blind and the cards were flipped over.

Yulian Bogdanov: A10 All in
Braxton Dunaway: AQ

The KK5 flop opened up some split pot outs while the Q turn paired up the kicker of Dunaway, leaving Bogdanov with some outs to a straight and flush. Neither of those escape routes came with the 8 river to send Bogdanov to the rail just outside of the top 100 spots for $70,000.

Padilha Puts in a Big Shove Against Voegele, Shows One

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

A big pot was brewing between Octavian Voegele and Pedro Padilha, and tablemate Daniel Iachan filled in the details.

Voegele had bet 200,000 from the hijack on a flop of Q96 before Padilha raised to 750,000 in the big blind. Voegele called to the 5 turn, where Padilha bet another 1,300,000. Voegele again called.

The river was the 7 and Padilha moved all in for 5,655,000. "Sorry guys," Voegele told his tablemates as he took several minutes to ponder the decision.

"Take all your time," Thomas Eychenne replied. Voegele ended up folding and Padilha allowed the table to pick one of his cards. Eychenne selected the J while Padilha raked in the big pot.

"Good Fold, Francis"

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

Wagner Wysotchanski opened to 200,000 in early position and Francis Anderson three-bet to 550,000 in the hijack. Wysotchanski called.

Wysotchanski checked on the flop of 4A3 and Anderson checked back. Wysotchanski then bet 400,000 on the 3 turn and Anderson called.

The 2 river completed the board and Wysotchanski quickly bet 2,000,000. Anderson folded to hang onto less than that.

"Good fold, Francis," Matthew Wantman said from the rail.

"Probably," Anderson replied.

A Perfect Time to Pick Up Cowboys

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

Hans Bosman raised 77 to 200,000 from under the gun before Kyle Grupp three-bet to 625,000 from middle position. Nazar Buhaiov jammed his last 1,300,000 into the middle from the button, forcing Bosman to tank fold. Grupp smilled, and reluctantly made the call.

Nazar Buhaiov: KK All in
Kyle Grupp: Q10

Grupp was caught making a move, and needed a lot of help from the dealer to beat the Cowboys of Buhaiov.

Grupp picked up a straight draw on the 992 flop, but he was unable to hit it as the rest of the board came 88, and Buhaiov doubled up.

Skhulukhiya Doubles Through Merson

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

The cards of Greg Merson were already in the muck and he paid off the double-up to table short stack Giorgiy Skhulukhiya for 1,035,000 total. Skhulukhiya's cards were still exposed as his AQ hit top pair on the 985Q2 runout and the production crew confirmed that Merson's pocket jacks had been no good.

The double for Skhulukhiya was worth 1,035,000 and that put a small dent into the above-average stack of Merson.
