Skogrand's Tournament Has Come to an End

Tim Baker

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Paul Gibbons made it 300,000 from middle position and Corey Skogrand shoved for 1,200,000 from the small blind. Gibbons took a few moments, then slid in the call to put Skogrand at risk.

Corey Skogrand: A♥Q♠ All in
Paul Gibbons: A♠9♠

Skogrand had Gibbons dominated heading to the 10♠5♠A♣ flop, where both players hit top pair, but Gibbons picked up a flush draw. The 8♥ turn was safe for Skogrand, but the J♠ river gave Gibbons the nut flush. Gibbons raked in the pot, while Skogrand headed to the rail.

Will Kassouf is going back to the left feature table after the breaking of Table 643. He no longer has a 10-second shot clock and will be allotted his full time.

In one of his few hands on the regular tournament floor, Kassouf opened to 300,000 on the button and the blinds folded. Kassouf showed the 8♣ and claimed he had pocket eights.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Johan Schumacher opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Sebastian Schulze flat-called with J♥10♥ in the hijack. Sejo Kasic was in the big blind and ripped all in for 7,525,000. Schumacher called off his stack of 3,800,000 and Schulze got out of the way.

Johan Schumacher: K♥K♦ All in
Sejo Kasic: 9♣9♦

Schumacher was in prime position to double up and the flop of Q♦10♣3♠ left things clean. The 3♥ on the turn and the Q♠ on the river caused no damage as Schumacher doubled up.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Joshua Beckenstein opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Chahn Jung defended in the big blind.

Jung checked on the flop of 2♠5♠Q♦ and Beckenstein continued for 350,000. Jung called. Both players then checked on the J♠ turn and again on the 9♥ river. Jung showed 4♥4♠, which was no good against the A♠J♦ of Beckenstein.

During the hand, the floor warned Beckenstein to keep his aluminum fidget toy off the felt and rail since it is a shiny device that could potentially reflect cards.

"It's about as shiny as this coin," protested Beckenstein.

Joshua Beckenstein	7,300,000 475,000	475,000

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Maksim Pisarenko limped in from the small blind with J♣2♥ and Tomas Szwarcberg checked his option with A♣4♥. The flop came 10♠3♣2♣ and Pisarenko started with a check. Szwarcberg tossed in a bet of 225,000 and Pisarenko check-raised to 550,000. Szwarcberg called and the K♠ landed on the turn.

Pisarenko led out with a bet of 900,000 with bottom pair which happened to be the best hand. Szwarcberg thought for a minute and then slid his cards to the muck, conceding the pot.

The J♥ came on the turn, and Gibbons checked again. Power gathered together an overbet of 3,800,000. Gibbons folded his cards, and Power revealed the Q♣ for a straight.

Kajtez check-raised to 450,000 over a bet of 150,000 on the A♦2♥2♣ flop and was called.

Kajtez fired out another 800,000 on the 3♦ turn. Buhaiov decided to stick around.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

First, Dmitrii Perfilev got a preflop shove through against Yuchen Chen and the same table then saw a raise to 300,000 by Mitchell Hynam. Braxton Dunaway called in the hijack and Perfilev was seemingly interested when he asked, "you both have around the same?" before folding from the small blind.

The Q♣3♥2♠ flop was checked and Hynam also checked the 6♦ turn. Dunaway now bet 525,000 and that won the pot.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Paul Gibbons made it 300,000 from middle position and only Murilo Milhomem called from the button.

Two checks followed the K♠J♦7♣ flop to see the 3♣ roll off on the turn. Gibbons bet 250,000, which Milhomem called.

Another two checks came after the 4♠ hit the river, and Gibbons won the pot with K♥10♥ for a pair of kings. Milhomem mucked J♣10♣ for second pair.
