An Unfortunate River Ends James' Main Event

Tim Baker

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With about 150,000 already in the pot on a board of 8♣5♥Q♣4♥, Jason James jammed for 225,000 from the big blind, and after giving it some thought, Adam Nattress made the call from under the gun.

Jason James: Q♦2♥ All in
Adam Nattress: A♠5♠

James was ahead with a pair of queens against Nattress' third pair.

The dealer burned and revealed the 5♦ river, improving Nattress to trips and sending James to the rail during the opening level of the day.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Zarlenga had taken a tumble and was down to his last 150,000 chips. He was already all in from the big blind and covered by Todd Brunson who was in the hijack.

Jason Zarlenga: A♥J♠ All in
Todd Brunson: K♥10♥

Brunson was behind but flopped well as the 10♠9♦9♠ gave him two pair. Zarlenga had some outs with the backdoor flush and straight draw, and the 6♠ turn brought him in another spade.

It all ended on the 10♣ river which saw Brunson end with a boat, and Zarlenga was left to leave the tournament area having been eliminated with around 490 players remaining, taking home $32,500.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Delmiro Toledo moved all in for his last 110,000 in the cutoff and Anton Wigg called on the button. Tasaku Maruo then reshoved for 200,000 in the big blind, and Wigg put him at risk, as well.

Delmiro Toledo: Q♦6♦ All in
Tasaku Maruo: 10♠10♥ All in
Anton Wigg: A♣J♣

Maruo remained ahead on the 3♣2♥6♠ flop, but Wigg hit the A♠ on the turn to take the lead. The A♥ river improved Wigg to trips, and both opponents were sent to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jorge Rodriguez Llorens raised to 40,000 under the gun. Farid Jattin then three-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff, which Callum Roque reraised to 425,000 on the button.

Rodriguez spent a long time in the tank, eventually getting the clock called on him. Near the end of his countdown, he moved all in for 440,000. Jattin called, and so did Roque.

Jattin and Roque both checked the J♦6♠J♠ flop. Jattin also checked the Q♥ turn. Roque fired a bet of 450,000, receiving a quick fold for his efforts.

Jorge Rodriguez Llorens: A♦K♦ All in
Callum Roque: Q♠Q♣

Llorens was drawing dead against Roque's full house, and he said his goodbyes as the meaningless 10♦ river rolled off.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Picking up the action with roughly 200,000 already in the pot, Christopher George had Tim Krist all in and at risk on a 10♦J♣9♠9♦ board.

Tim Krist: A♦J♦ All in
Christopher George: K♣Q♠

The Q♣ river offered no help to Krist, whose pair and flush draw were downed by the straight of George.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, four players went to a flop of 10♦5♥6♦, where Steven Stanton bet 135,000 from middle position. Assaph Aharoni called on the button, while Martijn Kiers announced a raise but only put in 250,000. The dealer made him make it at least 270,000, and Stanton called.

Aharoni tanked for several minutes, but he eventually folded, leaving Kiers and Stanton heads-up going to the J♠ turn. Kiers then moved all in for 350,000, and Stanton snap-called. Kiers showed 6♥6♠ for a set, while Stanton had A♦K♦ for the nut flush draw and gutshot to Broadway.

The Q♦ fell on the river to give Stanton the nut flush, and Kiers was sent to the rail. "Hell of a first hand," Stanton said.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yosuke Miki raised to 40,000 on the button, and Eoghan O'Dea moved all in from the big blind for 190,000. Miki took some time to decide before flicking in a call.

Eoghan O'Dea: K♥J♣ All in
Yosuke Miki: J♠2♠

O'Dea looked set for a double-up, and encountered no issues on the 5♥9♦7♠ flop. The 2♦ turn was a different story, seeing Miki take the lead.

There was no relief for O'Dea on the 3♦ river, and he hit the rail in the first hand of the day.
