Early End For Lewin

Tim Baker

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

Michael Nugent raised to 115,000 from the hijack and Jaime Lewin jammed for around 700,000 from the cutoff. David Kluchman then four-bet to 2,025,000 from the small blind, forcing Nugent out of the pot.

Jaime Lewin: A♣Q♦ All in
David Kluchman: A♠K♠

Lewin was at risk and needed to find a queen to keep his tournament hopes alive.

The 2♥9♠3♠ flop gave Kluchman a flush draw, taking away one of Lewin's outs.

The 5♥ turn and 9♦ river changed nothing, and Kluchman's Big Slick earned him the pot, eliminating Lewin from the Main Event.

Will Givens raised to 110,000 under the gun before Joey Weissman reraised to 610,000 in middle position, leaving himself one 5,000 chip behind. Givens called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Q♦7♣2♣7♠, where Givens bet. Weissman tossed in his last chip and turned over A♣K♥, but he was already drawing dead as Givens had 7♦6♦ for trips. The river was the 4♠, and Weissman was sent to the rail.

"Tell 'em what time it is! I'm dangerous!" Givens shouted out.

Fan Makes the Wrong Call to Send Trayner's Stack Soaring

Dan O'Hair

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

Heads-up on a board of 3♠K♣2♣7♦ with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Chih Wei Fan bet 275,000 from the big blind and Malcolm Trayner called in middle position.

The 4♦ completed the board and Fan slightly increased his wager for a bet of 300,000. Trayner thought a while before announcing he was all in, which was enough to put Fan all in for his last 975,000.

Fan went deep into the tank and began quietly listing what he thought Trayner's hands could be.

After a few minutes, Fan reluctantly called all in and Trayner turned over K♦Q♦ for a pair of kings. Fan showed he held Q♣Q♥ for a pair of queens and was eliminated.

"I level myself too much..." Fan said. "Good game."
