Garcia Wins a Pot

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Yuanzhi Cao opened to 875,000 and got two callers in the blinds, Najeeb Elkamand in small and Manuel Herrera Garcia in the big blind.

The flop came 545 and all three players checked. After a check from the small blind, Garcia fired 500,000 on the turn and Cao called. Elkamand got out of the way.

On the river 3, both players checked. Garcia showed A4 prompting Cao to muck his hand.

Jakob Miegel Eliminated in 26th Place ($26,360)

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Jakob Miegel
Jakob Miegel

Jakob Miegel jammed for 6,000,000 from under the gun. The table folded all the way around to Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss in the big blind, who squeezed out his cards, and immediately made the call.

Jakob Miegel: 66 All in
Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss: QQ

Nemeskeri-Kiss looked likely to win the pot, unless Miegel could find a six. The dealer delivered a board of 42Q45 to have Miegel drawing dead by the turn to Nemeskeri-Kiss' boat. The pot was pushed to Nemeskeri-Kiss, and Miefel was out in 26th place.

Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss jammed from early position for 4,450,000, and Lok Chan made the call from the hijack to put him at risk.

Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss: 77 All in
Lok Chan: AA

Nemeskeri-Kiss needed to find a seven if he was to remain in the tournament. The dealer fanned out a flop of 74K to give Nemeskeri-Kiss a set of sevens. The 9 turn and 8 river didn't improve Chan to a higher set, and Nemeskeri-Kiss doubled up to around ten million.

Jakob Miegel raised to 800,000 from middle position and Lok Chan three-bet to 2,100,000 from the cutoff. Simon Levy jammed with a covering stack from the button, forcing Miegel to fold. Chan took a few moments and then called for his stack of 7,000,000 total.

Lok Chan: JJ All in
Simon Levy: KK

Chan was in a lot of trouble with pocket jacks versus the Cowboys of Levy. However, the flop of A10J propelled Chan into the lead with a set. The rest of the board came 38, and Chan cemented his double-up.
