Chung Eliminated by Garner

Christian Zetzsche

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

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.

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.

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.
