Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

"Would you call it off knowing you're facing the nuts in the Main Event?"

Craig Trost found himself asking this in a heads-up pot against Michael Mizrachi to his left on a board of 6♠7♦8♥.

Trost had committed nearly all of his stack of 845,000 with just a single 5,000 chip behind. Mizrachi, thinking his opponent was all in, called and tabled the nuts with 10♥9♥. Trost had a decision: call knowing you are up against the nuts, or fold and be left with less than a tenth of a small blind.

"It's a pretty weird spot," Trost said. "I mean, it's a legitimate decision."

Trost called and his cards joined Mizrachi's on their backs.

Craig Trost: KxKx

Trost was nearly dead but the 6♦ turn kept him alive as the table braced for what could be a crazy river. But the 8♣ bricked off and Trost was sent to the rail as Mizrachi's straight held up.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joshua Beckenstein raised to 250,000 in early position with Q♣9♣ and was called by Will Kassouf in the hijack with K♠J♥ and Kohei Arai in the big blind with 9♥6♥. The flop came A♠10♦5♠ and Beckenstein continued with a bet of 300,000. Kassouf called and Arai got out of the way.

The turn brought the Q♥ and Beckenstein check-called a bet of 650,000 from Kassouf who had the checkmark beside his name already. The river was the 5♦ and Beckenstein announced all in as the bigger stack. Kassouf was put to the test for his tournament life with ten seconds to act and his time ran out, putting the best hand in the muck.

Alen Tenorio raised to 250,000 from under the gun with K♦9♦ and only Paul Gibbons called holding 9♥9♣ from the cutoff.

The monotone flop of A♦6♦3♦ checked through to see the 7♠ hit the turn. Another two checks saw the Q♣ fall on the river. Tenorio bet 750,000, and Gibbons instantly folded.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Frank Flowers was all-in from the big blind on a K♠4♣2♠ flop for 1,425,000 and Lautaro Guerra looked him up. Both had already gotten the chips in not long ago and Flowers had wanted another double to get even with the Spaniard.

Frank Flowers: K♦8♠ All in
Lautaro Guerra: Q♦Q♥

The 9♥ turn and 9♦ river changed nothing and an excited Flowers celebrated his double once more.

"I love you," he told Guerra who replied "I don't love you anymore". Flowers even started dancing away from the table before he finally calmed down a bit again, still all smiles.

Nines Doing the Job on #634; King-Queen, Not So Much

Calum Grant

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up with the cards already tabled. Michael Parisi was all-in for roughly 1,200,000 from the small blind and at risk against Johan Schumacher, who had him covered from the hijack.

Michael Parisi: K♦Q♥ All in
Johan Schumacher: 9♥9♦

The board ran out 8♠8♦5♦2♠A♥, and Schumacher’s pocket nines held to eliminate Parisi.

On the very next hand, Murly Manokharan shoved for 1,425,000 from under the gun. Bruno Furth re-raised to 3,000,000 from the cutoff, forcing out the blinds.

Murly Manokharan: K♣Q♥ All in
Bruno Furth: 9♠9♥

“Oh, repeat,” Manokharan remarked, referencing the previous hand.

The J♠10♥4♠ flop gave Manokharan an open-ended straight draw to go with his overs but the 5♦ turn and 2♣ river offered no help. Furth raked in the pot and shared a fist bump with Schumacher as Manokharan hit the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Will Kassouf opened to 250,000 with 9♠7♠ from early position and Leon Sturm three-bet to 780,000 in the big blind with A♥6♦. Kassouf called and they went to a flop of Q♣10♦3♣.

Both players checked and the 10♠ paired the board on the turn. Sturm checked again and Kassouf splashed in a bet of 720,000. Sturm sent his cards to the muck and Kassouf showed his nine-high bluff.

"Nine-high like a boss! That's how you play the short stack," Kassouf stood up from his chair.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stephen Hesse made it 250,000 from early position before Chih Fan three-bet to 1,225,000 from the hijack. Hesse four-bet jammed to put Fan all in, and Fan called for his 2,920,000 total.

Chih Fan: K♣Q♣ All in
Stephen Hesse: K♥K♦

Fan was in terrible shape against the pocket kings of Hesse and was looking for some clubs to stay in contention. The 4♣A♥3♣ flop offered Fan a flush draw. However, the 7♥ turn and 2♥ river were red, and Fan was out of the Main Event.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Pedro Padilha raised to 250,000 and Octavian Voegele called on the button. Daniel Iachan then three-bet to 1,100,000 in the big blind and Padilha then four-bet to 2,250,000. Voegele folded and Iachan came to the same conclusion for Padilha to chip up without showdown.
