Caballero Makes Big Jump

Jerome Solomon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

David Kurtz raised to 65,000 from early position. Victor Caballero moved all in from the big blind with a whopping 770,000 chips. Kurtz called with the bigger stack.

Victor Caballero: 9♥9♦ All in
David Kurtz: Q♥Q♣

Kurtz was in good shape on the flop of 6♥A♠4♥, but the 9♣ on the turn gave Caballero a set and the 5♠ on the river didn't change anything.

Cabballero moved among the chip leaders, Kurtz was left with crumbs, and was knocked out of the tournament in the next orbit.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Oron Bader open-jammed all in from middle position for 235,000, and the action folded to Soichiro Hayashi in the big blind. He didn't take too long and made the call.

Oron Bader: A♣Q♠ All in
Soichiro Hayashi: Q♦10♣

The flop came 8♥K♠A♠ and sent Bader further into the lead, but gave Hayashi a gutshot straight draw to send Bader to the rail. The 10♥ on the turn didn't help Hayashi, nor did the 5♥ brick on the river, and Bader was pushed the pot for a much-needed double up.

On different tables John McDonald and Carlos Guerrero busted iut of the event.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mohsin Charania moved all in from the hijack. Kyuhyung Jung followed suit on the button, going all in with his 270,000-chip stack.

Ankush Mandavia, seated to he left, moved all in for even more, covering both players.

Mohsin Charania: K♠9♥ All in
Kyuhyung Jung: A♦K♥ All in
Ankush Mandavia: A♥K♣

With Mandavia and Jung holding the same hand and no pair, Charania had hope, but the board fell 10♥8♥3♠5♠10♦, allowing them to split the pot and knock Charania out.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Joshua Boulton raised from early position to 50,000, and the action folded around to Ciaran Mccullagh in the cutoff, who moved all-in for 255,000. Michael Bernstein looked down at his cards in the big blind and also moved all-in, and he had Mccullagh covered. Boulton snap-folded.

Ciaran Mccullagh: A♦Q♦ All in
Michael Bernstein: A♣K♣

The flop came 10♦7♣K♠ and it was looking grim for Mccullagh. The 5♥ on the turn didn't improve matters and nor did the 8♦ on the river, and Mccullagh was sent packing.
