Hesse Wins Another Pot on the River

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

Colin Robinson made it 240,000 to go with A10 from early position. Chad Power called the button with KQ, and Stephen Hesse defended his big blind holding J7.

Hesse and Robinson checked the 836 flop, and Power placed 325,000 across the betting line. Hesse called, but Robinson folded.

Heads-up now to the J turn, where both players checked to see the 9 fall on the river. Hesse bet 1,210,000, and Power folded.

Vecino Fills Up on Carrillo; Perfilev Comes to Rue His Fold

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

Dmitrii Perfilev bet 560,000 from under the gun on a flop of 1034 and Juan Carlos Vecino called in the cutoff. Don Carrillo then moved all in for 5,240,000 in the small blind.

Perfilev had around 2,000,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before Carrillo called the clock. Perfilev eventually folded, but Vecino snap-called.

Don Carrillo: A8 All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: 44

Vecino showed a set, while Carrillo had a flush draw. The K turn was no help to Carrillo, while the K river improved Vecino to a full house and earned him the knockout.

Perfilev shot out of his seat at the sight of the rivered king and let out a loud yell. He later admitted he laid down two kings and would've made quads.

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

On the river of a 976K6 board, Jameson Painter bet 700,000 out of the big blind. Yuchen Chen was his only opponent by then who then raised to 1,800,000. Painter reluctantly called and mucked when he was shown the K6 for a full house.

Painter was left with only one big blind and jammed that out of the small blind when it was checked to him, Corey Skogrand didn't even need to call in the big blind as it was for exactly 120,000.

Jameson Painter: KJ All in
Corey Skogrand: Q8

The 108782 board gave Skogrand trips eights and Painter was eliminated.

Hendrix checked once more on the 10 river and Padilha checked back as Hendrix showed QQ to win the pot.

"Nice hand! Just hanging on," said Theo Tran.

"You know me," said Hendrix.

Minghini Three-Bets the Flop With a Set

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

Jarod Minghini opened 88 from middle position and Kenny Hallaert defended his big blind with 106.

They saw a flop of 938, where Hallaert checked and Minghini bet 250,000 with his set. Hallaert put in a check-raise to 800,000 with a gutshot, and Minghini three-bet to 1,900,000. Hallaert snap-folded.

Shortly after, Sergio Veloso raised the button with K9 to 240,000 and Greg Merson looked down at AK in the big blind and made it 1,300,000. Veloso quickly gave it up.

Awful Flop Ends Tenorio's Tournament

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

Alen Tenorio made it 250,000 from early position before Murilo Milhomem three-bet to 700,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Tenorio, he four-bet jammed for 4,210,000, and Milhomem called to put him at risk.

Alen Tenorio: AA All in
Murilo Milhomem: KK

Tenorio found himself on the right side of a cooler and was poised to double-up to almost nine million. But, the 66K flop was a disaster, as Milhomem flopped a boat to take a commanding lead and left Tenorio on the brink of elimination. The turn came the 10, and the river the 2. Tenorio wished everyone good luck before making his way out of the tournament area.

Alper Sticks In His Last Chip

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

Steven Alper bet 1,050,000 from the big blind on a board of 6473 and Joey Padron called on the button, as did Michael Garner in the small blind.

Alper had one 5,000 chip behind going to the A river and tossed it in. Both Padron and Garner called.

Padron turned over J8 for a flush and Alper mucked 54. Garner also mucked 33 as Padron took the pot to send Alper to the rail.

Kasic Shows a Bluff; Jackson Doubles

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

Eric Afriat opened to 255,000 from early position. Tomas Szwarcberg and Sejo Kasic called from the blinds.

Afriat continued for 240,000 on the KJ6, and was called in both spots.

He then fired out another 800,000 on the 5 turn. Again, Szwarcberg and Kasic called to set up a massive pot.

The 10 completed the board. Szwarcberg checked before Kasic jammed for 4,900,000. Afriat asked for a count, but decided to fold. Szwarcberg also returned his cards to dealer. Kasic was asked to show the bluff, and he complied by tabling A10 for just a pair of tens.

Afriat then jokingly told Kasic "Don't quit your day job," before adding that he folded ace-king.

On the next deal, Benjamin Williams raised from the hijack and called when Ben Jackson jammed for 1,000,000 from the cutoff.

Ben Jackson: QxQxAll in
Benjamin Williams: 7x7x

Jackson's queens held to double following the 42K108 runout.

Merson and Bogarin Both Flop Top Pair

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

Greg Merson limped in with AQ from middle position and Derek Sudell also called from the hijack with K10. Jose Bogarin checked his option in the big blind with Q6.

They saw a flop of 87Q, which checked around to the 2 on the turn. When it got to Merson, he fired out 700,000 and only Sudell called.

A A on the river brought in the front door flush draw, but neither player held a spade in their hand. Merson went with a sizing of 1,300,000, which drew a quick fold out of Sudell.
