Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action was picked up when Thanhlong Nguyen in the small blind and Talesh Patel in the big blind were both allin.

Talesh Patel; A♦K♠ All in
Thanhlong Nguyen: A♥K♣

The dealer ran out the board Q♦J♦10♦3♥4♦. Same ranks, different suits; it was Patel who picked up a flush and won the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action folded to Santiago Plante in the small blind, he jammed. Shai Zurr snapped it off for roughly 500,000 and was at risk with the slightly better hand.

Shai Zurr: A♦3♠ All in
Santiago Plante: 10♥9♥

Plante was green on the 10♣10♠J♦ flop, the 3♦ turn locked it up, and the 3♣ river delivered Zurr a full house, just not the winning kind and he was sent to the payout desk.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Srivatsa Shankam open-shoved for his last 500,000, holding A♦10♠, and Harry Lodge made the call next to him with a better hand, A♥Q♠.

Shankam was in bad shape for his tournament's life as the board first fell 8♦7♣3♣A♣, but a lucky 10♣ hit the river to give him two pair and the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Srivatsa Shankam	1,175,000 775,000	775,000
Harry Lodge	560,000 200,000	200,000

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was followed from the 3♣6♣10♣ flop. William Meyer check-folded the bet of 150,000 of Dinesh Singham in the hijack. Jael Lewis, on the button, decided to call.

The turn showed Q♦. Singham bet 200,000 and Lewis called. The dealer revealed the river 2♦.

Singham pushed all in with his remaining stack of 465,000. Lewis took a moment and decided to fold. All the chips moved towards Singham.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jael Lewis	2,875,000 165,000	165,000
Dinesh Singham	900,000 515,000	515,000

Thoney Wins Massive Three Way All In

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jeffrey Thoney got it all in with a covering stack against two players, but was not the favourite in the hand. That title went to Yuan Lei, all in for 825,000, with Eric Kim the underdog, as well as the shortstack, with just 525,000.

Eric Kim: A♦J♠ All in
Yuan Lei: 9♣9♥ All in
Jeffrey Thoney: A♠K♥

The board was running out nice and low for Lei, as it read 5♦10♠2♠3♦ on the turn. However, Thoney let out a "Yes!" upon seeing the K♣ river, meaning he had scored a huge double knockout, as well as even further extending his chip lead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeffrey Thoney	4,640,000 1,380,000	1,380,000
Yuan Lei	Busted

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Santiago Plante started the action with a raise to 100,000 in middle position and Eduardo Mendoza shoved in the small blind for a stack around 400,000. Muhammad Rahim, in the big blind, also pushed with a similar stack and Plante made the call:

Eduardo Mendoza: Q♣Q♠ All in
Muhammad Rahim: K♥J♦ All in
Santiago Plante: A♦A♠

The board didn't bring any bad surprise for Plante with 2♠5♣J♥9♣4♣ and he scooped the pot to send Mendoza and Rahim out.

Joseph Berg

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, Scott Downes then went all in and was at risk from the button for 480,000. Brian Klish also went all in from the small blind for roughly 800,000. Deeb folded, and the players tabled their hands.

Scott Downes: A♦6♦ All in
Brian Klish: A♠K♠

The dealer ran out a board of K♦4♣J♠2♦6♥, sending Downes to the payout desk.
