GT-No: One-Round Penalty for Fan

Connor Richards

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

Chih Fan was issued a one-round penalty at Table 629 for being seen with a GTO chart at the table.

Fan argued his case and said he was merely watching a poker video, but the one-round penalty stood.

A few at the table were sympathetic to Fan, pondering what would happen if a friend texted them a chart or hand analysis and they happened to open it at the table.

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

Albert Calderon made it 200,000 with 10♥10♣ from early position and Sebastian Schulze three-bet the button with Q♥Q♠ to 550,000. Calderon called when it got back to him.

They saw a flop of 7♥J♣4♦, where Calderon checked and Schulze threw out a bet of 350,000. Calderon stuck around to see the Q♣ on the turn, which gave Schulze top set. It checked around to the 3♥ river, where Calderon tapped the table and Schulze fired 1,100,000.

Calderon had around 1,900,000 remaining in his stack and after doing some inventory, he called. Schulze then flipped over his set, and Calderon's stack was left with just eight big blinds.

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

Around 1,500,000 was already in the pot as Chris Dombrowski and Wagner Wysotchanski went heads-up to a flop of K♠6♣Q♦. Dombrowski then bet 500,000 from the cutoff and Wysotchanski raised to 1,300,000 in early position. Dombrowski moved all in for 2,675,000 and Wysotchanski quickly called.

Chris Dombrowski: A♣K♦ All in
Wagner Wysotchanski: K♥J♠

Both players had top pair, but Dombrowski was ahead with his ace-kicker. The rest of the board ran out Q♠10♠ and Dombrowski held on to earn the double up.

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

Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 250,000 from the hijack and called when Jarod Minghini three-bet to 750,000 from the cutoff.

Karmatckii checked on the J♠8♥4♥ flop, and Minghini bet 400,000. Karmatckii made it 1,100,000 and Minghini called.

Karmatckii fired out another 2,400,000 on the 9♠ turn, and Minghini stuck around to the final betting round, where the A♠ completed the board.

Karmatckii announced all-in as the bigger stack. Minghini let out a small sigh before calling off his stack of 3,900,000.

Karmatckii tabled J♦J♣ for a set of jacks, but it was no good as Minghini had rivered a set of aces with his A♥A♦ to win the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

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.

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.

Joseph Ozimok	8,760,000 875,000	875,000

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.

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.

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.
