Chaudey Gets Dog Rungood

Frank Visser

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

Heads up to the 5♦7♣8♥ flop, Christopher Chaudey checked from the big blind to Jared Passanante on the button. Passanante bet 80,000, which Chaudey, with his dog sitting on his lap, raised to 255,000.

After a while in thought, Passanante three-bet jammed for roughly 1,200,000. Chaudey asked for a count but called halfway through.

Jared Passanante: 10♠9♦ All in
Christopher Chaudey: 7♥5♥

The 10♥ gave Passanante a pair, but Chaudey added a flush draw to his two pair. The 2♣ river was a big blank, and Passanante said his goodbyes to the table before heading to the rail.

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

Li Chengbei raised to 80,000 in the hijack and Arturas Astrauskas raised to 175,000 on the button to see action fold back to Chengbei. Chengbei moved all in for 710,000 and Astrauskas called.

Li Chengbei: A♠Q♣ All in
Arturas Astrauskas: A♥J♣

The flop of K♣J♠10♥ gave Chengbei flopped Broadway against Astrauskas' pair of jacks, who almost celebrated before seeing his opponent flopped a straight. Astrauskas picked up some outs to win as he improved to three jacks on the J♥ turn.

"Yes!" screamed Astrauskas on the river 10♦ that gave him jacks full of tens to eliminate Chengbei from the tournament.

"Wow," table mate Greg Mueller reacted, "From flopping the joint to out."

"Lucky Corona!" replied Astrauskas as he raised his cup while the pot was pushed towards him.

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

Mario Boos raised to 80,000 from the button, and Lester Edoc three-bet to 280,000 from the big blind. Boos came back with a four-bet to 480,000, and after a brief tank, Edoc five-bet to 890,000.

The action paused as Boos looked over at Edoc, who sat almost motionless beneath an oversized black hoodie draped so low over his face that he resembled a Sith Lord.

The stare-down lasted a little while longer, but in the end Boos decided against venturing to the dark side, releasing his hand and sending the pot Edoc's way without a flop.

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

Sam Snead raised to 150,000 in early position and Raul Reyna called in the hijack. Truong Nguyen then three-bet to 500,000 in the cutoff, and only Snead called.

"Chips fly at this table, Virginia. Better lock in," Will Givens said to Curtis Nare, who had only just arrived at the table. Nguyen and Snead then went to a flop of J♣6♠3♥, where Nguyen moved all in for 350,000.

"I feel I'm beat, but I can't fold now," Snead said as he called to put Nguyen at risk.

Truong Nguyen: K♥K♠ All in
Sam Snead: 6♥6♣

"I thought he had jacks," Snead said after revealing his set of sixes. The 6♦ turn then improved him to quads, and the 4♥ river sealed Nguyen's elimination.

"You played so well," Givens said, standing up to give Nguyen a handshake before Nguyen made his exit.

Brian Green raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Mark Tropp three-bet to 250,000. Action folded back around to Green who four-bet to 800,000. Tropp five-bet jammed for 1,500,000 effective and Green snap-called to put himself at risk.

Brian Green: A♦K♦ All in
Mark Tropp: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out J♣4♣3♣10♣3♥ and the queens held up for Tropp to eliminate the WSOP bracelet winner from the tournament.

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

Brian Roelke raised to 85,000 from under the gun and was called by Marc Goldman in the hijack. Ryan Riess then announced a squeeze to 380,000 from the small blind — leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Roelke moved all in for 1,800,000 and Goldman let his hand go after asking for a count. Riess tossed his last chip into the middle and hands were revealed.

Ryan Riess: A♥Q♣ All in
Brian Roelke: A♣K♣

Riess found himself dominated and in even worse shape after the K♦4♦Q♦ flop paired both players' kickers.

Riess was looking to hit trips, but the 5♥4♣ runout kept Roelke ahead with his pair of kings to send the 2013 champ to the rail.

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

Alex Foxen jammed all in on the button for 365,000. Ryan Miller called in the small blind before Dan Stavila three-bet to 905,000 in the big blind. Miller responded by reshoving, and Stavila immediately called off his 3,105,000.

Alex Foxen: K♥9♠ All in
Dan Stavila: A♠A♦ All in
Ryan Miller: Q♦Q♣

A massive cooler had occured in the blinds. The 7♥J♣3♣A♣ turn gave Stavila top set. The final card was never shown on stream, but it was not a club as Stavila scooped up the massive pot, knocking Foxen out in the process.

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

Masato Yokosawa was down to just 350,000, which he got in from middle position against Dan Stavila in early position.

Masato Yokosawa: 9♦9♣ All in
Dan Stavila: A♠K♣

The 2♦2♠8♥10♦2♣ runout made Yokosowa a full house, doubling up the Japanese YouTube star.

Over at the other feature table, Caitlin Comeskey had four-bet jammed her 1,125,000 from middle position, being up against Christopher Selami in the cutoff.

Caitlin Comeskey: A♣Q♣ All in
Christopher Selami: A♠K♠

It was looking dire for Comeskey after the 2♣8♥J♥ flop, but she made a runner-runner full house on the J♣3♣ runout to stay alive and double up in the Main Event.

Vaziri Shows the Goods

Stewart Morrison

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When the action folded to Arash Vaziri in the small blind, he raised to 75,000, which big blind player Fabian Quoss called.

Vaziri kept his foot on the gas, betting 55,000 on a 6♥A♠Q♦ flop, which Quoss called. It was a similar scenario on the J♦ turn: Vaziri bet 175,000, and Quoss stuck around.

The K♦ completed the board, and Vaziri loaded up a third barrel, this time putting 375,000 into the pot. Quoss cut the calling chips from his stack, and then gave the situation serious consideration, ultimately opting to call.

"Straight", Vaziri said as he flipped over his 10♥7♥. Quoss shook his head in disbelief and then mucked his cards.
