Gutyi Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a completed board of A♠8♥7♥K♥9♠ and about 120,000 in the middle, Mykhailo Gutyi in the big blind faced a bet of 90,000 on the river from Curtis Nare, who was on the button. Gutyi had a tough decision for the majority of his remaining chips.

"Do I smell ace-king?" Gutyi bemoaned as he made his discomfort clear. "In every other tournament I call easy," Gutyi continued, "But Main Event..."

The pressure of the spot ultimately led to Gutyi folding his hand, but showing the A♥ as he mucked, and Nare quietly returned his cards to the dealer face down.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Murphy raised from the hijack and Vlastimil Pustina defended from the big blind.

Pustina checked on the 9♥10♦J♥ flop and Murphy fired a continuation-bet of 3,000, which Pustina called.

Both players checked the 2♦ turn before Pustina led out for 16,000 on the 8♠ river. Murphy took some time over his decision before flicking in the call.

Pustina could only show king-high with K♠3♣ for a bluff, while Murphy tabled K♦K♣ to win the pot with a pair of kings.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Hossein Ensan check-called the J♥8♥5♣10♥ turn for 23,000 when Alban Juen bet, and then opted to lead the 9♦ on the river when the possible flush was joined by four to a straight. Ensan made it 33,500 to go, and Juen called after brief consideration to see Ensan table the A♣K♣ for a bluff, which Juen beat with 5♠5♦ for bottom set.

On a heads-up turn of Q♠J♠4♥2♠, Kris Kwiatkowski check-raised to 35,000, and Alexis Hayek called. Kwiatkowski checked the K♣ on the river, and Hayek bet 35,000 to force a reluctant fold.

Tomas Teran opened to 6,000 in late position to see Benjamin Krauss raise to 15,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Teran, who jammed for 48,500 effective to see Krauss call.

Benjamin Krauss: K♥K♦ All in
Tomas Teran: A♣8♣

The board ran out J♠8♠3♠9♦4♣ and the kings held up for Krauss to double at the expense of Teran.

Gareth Nelson made it 5,000 to play from early position, and action folded around to Will Kassouf in the big blind, who checked roughly how much Nelson had behind before he put in a three-bet to 19,500.

Nelson didn't take long and put in a four-bet all in; Kassouf confirmed the count of 59,000 and called.

Gareth Nelson: A♥Q♠ All in
Will Kassouf: A♣K♦

No help for Nelson on the 10♥4♣A♦ flop, but when the J♠ peeled off on the turn, he picked up some additional outs. The river bricked out with the 8♥, and Nelson was sent packing.

Ryan Davenport opened to 5,000 from the hijack, and action went to Alec Alameddine, who was in the small blind. He jammed for his last 3,700, and Rania Nasreddine made a quick call from the big blind. Davenport opted to muck, leaving the players to go heads-up to showdown.

Alec Alameddine: K♦Q♦All in
Rania Nasreddine: 10♣10♠

The 4♥3♥5♥ flop didn't change anything, but Alameddine turned the K♣ to put himself in the lead.

A 9♦ river saw Alameddine secure his double-up, and he knocked Nasreddine down in the process.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joshua Palmer opened to 5,000 from the cutoff. Mario Vojvoda, on the button, then placed in a three-bet to 15,500. The blinds folded quickly, and Palmer threw forward his eight T-25,000 chips, enough to put his opponent all in. Vojvoda made the call with a sigh.

Mario Vojvoda: A♠Q♥ All in
Joshua Palmer: A♣K♣

As if the flop K♦5♦A♥ wasn't enough for Palmer, he improved to kings-full on the 7♣K♠ runout to end the day for his opponent

Picking up the action with the pot already sitting around 150,000, Gustavo Mendez Laporta checked from the small blind on a 9♠3♣4♥5♠ board. Aliaksei Boika bet 40,000 from middle position, and, after some consideration, Laporta moved all in for roughly 120,000, which Boika immediately called.

Gustavo Mendez Laporta: 10♠10♣ All in
Aliaksei Boika: A♦A♣

The 8♥ river offered no relief for Laporta, and his stack was shipped across the table to Boika.
