Motte Doubles to Leave Tuominen Short

Jacob Wilson

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Joe Serock opened the action under the gun as he potted to 175,000. Fabien Motte flatted on the button, before Eemil Tuominen repotted from the small blind. Serock got out of the way, Motte shoved for not much more, and Tuominen called.

Fabien Motte: A♠Q♦J♥5♦ All in
Eemil Tuominen: A♥Q♥5♠3♠

Motte outflopped his opponent, hitting a pair on J♣K♣2♥. Tuominen ended the hand on just ace-high, as the 9♣7♠ runout secured Motte's survival.

Brad Albrinck raised the button to 125,000 and only Daniel Zack called from the big blind.

Zack checked the 9♥8♠A♦ flop, and Albrinck chose to check behind to see the 2♥ turn. Zack led out for 160,000, which caused Albrinck to snap-fold.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Richard Gryko put out a pot-sized bet of 300,000 from the hijack on a flop of 6♥7♥Q♦. JC Tran then shoved for 700,000 from the small blind. Gryko snapped him off.

JC Tran: A♥Q♣10♥5♣ All in
Richard Gryko: 5♥4♦3♦3♣

Tran wasn't able to hold with top pair or find a heart, with the 9♦4♠ runout giving Gryko the low end of the straight.

The 5♣ turn saw Chu check for a second time. Ladines placed out a bigger bet of 450,000, prompting a swift fold from Chu.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Elior Sion had not shown up for Day 3 and his chips were forced all-in from the big blind for his last 40,000. Ryan Leng raised the button, and Joshua Ladines called from the small blind.

Ladines check-called a bet of 350,000 from Leng on the J♠A♣10♦ flop. The 10♥ turn checked through for the 2♥ to appear on the river. Ladines bet 400,000 and Leng folded. Sion’s cards were already in the muck from before the flop, and Ladines showed a straight with K♣Q♣ as the pot was pushed to him.

Sion was out in 19th place, and the remaining players were now redrawing for seats.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ryan Leng open-potted it to 140,000 from the cutoff. Alan Mehamed made the call on the button, and Joshua Ladines did the same from the small blind. Big blind Elior Sion did not turn up for Day 3, meaning his big blind was dead money in the pot. On a flop of 4♥Q♦7♣ Leng bet out for 240,000, and Mehamed called all in.

Alan Mehamed: 10♣6♣5♦2♠ All in
Ryan Leng: A♣K♦Q♣4♠

Mehamed was drawing slim with an open-ender, and the 7♥J♣ runout confirmed his elimination as his opponent had two pair.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joe Serock raised to 140,000 in the hijack. Cuba Levenberry called on the button, and Yasheel Doddanavar defended his big blind.

The 7♣K♥10♠ flop checked to Levenberry, who ripped all in for 280,000. Doddanavar folded before Serock asked for a count and called.

Cuba Levenberry: 10♦9♦9♣8♣ All in
Joe Serock: A♦J♠9♠4♦

Serock made a higher pair on the A♣ turn, but Levenberry found a straight on the J♦ river to take the pot and double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Fabien Motte raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and only Jeremy Ausmus called from the big blind.

Both players checked the 3♣K♦8♥ flop to see the 5♦ roll off on the turn. Ausmus led out for 260,000, which Motte called.

The 6♥ dropped on the river, and Ausmus led out again, this time for 225,000. Motte called, and then mucked when Ausmus revealed two pair with K♣J♣9♣8♠.
