Boyd Eliminated by Gaston

Christian Zetzsche

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Tyler Gaston raised to 300,000 in the hijack and picked up two callers, including Dutch Boyd on the button and Arturas Astrauskas in the big blind. On the K♥8♥7♥ flop, the action checked to Gaston, and he bet 375,000. Boyd then raised to 900,000 and Astrauskas folded.

Gaston inquired how many chips Boyd had behind and vaulted out of his chair to get a closer look. Boyd had around 2,400,000 behind his raise, and Gaston tanked for two minutes before he moved all in. After short consideration, Boyd called and the cards were flipped over.

Dutch Boyd: A♠Q♥ All in
Tyler Gaston: K♠7♣

Gaston was ahead with his top and bottom pair, needing to avoid any hearts for the time being. Boyd picked up more outs when he paired up on the A♣ turn, but the 10♦ river was a blank.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Blinds: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante:

At one of the feature tables, Malcolm Trayner raised to 240,000 from under the gun with A♠10♦ and was called by Jeff Weiss to his left with A♥K♠, Michael Gagliano in middle position with 7♠7♦, and Christopher Chaudey who defended from the small blind with J♠J♥.

After three checks, Gagliano bet 300,000 with a set on the 7♣2♦4♠ flop. Chaudey check-raised to 800,000 to make Trayner and Weiss fold, but Gagliano made the call.

Chaudey continued for 850,000 on the Q♣ turn but Gagliano went into the tank and raised to 2,500,000.

Facing the raise, Chaudey talked to himself in both French and English for around five minutes. “You have to have a set. I don’t see this guy bluffing,” he thought.

In the end, he trusted his read and folded.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

With 72 players left and a $20,000 pay increase being one elimination away, Loren Klein raised to 975,000 in the hijack, leaving only 25,000 back, the lowest chip denomination in play. Tyler Gaston called in the small blind, stating, "I will let you stall for the pay jump."

"I appreciate that," Klein said.

Gaston then tossed in a blind bet before the dealer fanned the 7♥A♥6♥ flop, putting his opponent all in. Klein did not act for a good while, with none of the players at the table calling for the clock.

After 15 minutes, the floor came over to inform Klein he would have one more minute to act on his hand. At the end of the minute, he was given a five-second countdown, during which Klein finally tossed in his last chip.

Loren Klein: K♣4♥ All in
Tyler Gaston: A♣6♦

Klein did not hit a heart on the 2♠ turn, and the 6♣ river upgraded Gaston to a full house. After all that, Klein said his goodbyes to his former tablemates in 72nd place, bubbling his desired pay jump.

Kyle Scott raised to 300,000 on the button and Todd Brunson three-bet to 800,000 in the big blind. Scott then moved all in for 4,000,000, and Brunson snap-called.

Kyle Scott: 5♥5♣ All in
Todd Brunson: K♣K♠

Brunson had Scott crushed with his kings, and Scott found no miracles on the 7♦2♣J♣J♦A♥ board as he was sent to the rail.

"Amazing play with the kings. You were free-rolling. I didn't want to tell you at the time because it would give you more confidence. Unreal play," Greg Mueller told Scott, harking back to his aces versus kings encounter earlier.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Terrance Reid had open-raised under the gun when Giuseppe Pantaleo three-bet to 720,000 in the hijack. Reid responded with a four-bet to 1,400,000 which Pantaleo clicked back to 2,080,000.

Reid spent a good while in the tank before he called. Going to the 9♠7♠Q♠ flop, Reid checked, and Pantaleo bet 650,000. Reid quickly moved all in for about 2,900,000, and Pantaleo snapped him off with the covering stack.

Terrance Reid: K♠Q♦ All in
Giuseppe Pantaleo: A♠A♥

Reid was drawing thin as Pantaleo covered his flush draw. The A♣ turn left Reid drawing dead, and he said his goodbyes as the meaningless 6♣ river rolled off.
