River Saves Zhang

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

David Rees limped in from the small blind and Honghao Zhang checked his option in the big blind.

Rees bet 300,000 on the 865 flop and called when Zhang made it 800,000. On the 8 turn, Rees check-jammed over a bet of 1,300,000 as the bigger stack. Zhang quickly called.

Honghao Zhang: 87All in
David Rees: K8

Both players had trips, but Rees' kicker put him ahead. However, the 6 river double-paired the board and the pot was chopped.

Thai Dinh

Harlan Karnofsky opened to 500,000 on the button, and Thai Dinh defended the big blind.

The 252 flop saw Dinh move all in for his remaining ~1,200,000. While Karnofsky deliberated, Dinh remarked, "Don't do it to me, man; we are about to be on TV soon."

After folding, Karnofsky replied, "I had a pair; I let you off. I had a five."

Dinh continued, "You had a pair; I had a pair of fours."

In the next hand, Karnofsky opened to 500,000, and Dinh jammed. Karnofsky called, and the pair flipped their cards.

Thai Dinh: A7All in
Harlan Karnofsky: KJ

Dinh hit a seven on the 7109 flop, and Dinh locked up the double after seeing the 4 and 4 complete the board.

Karnofsky Using His Big Stack

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Harlan Karnofsky had just taken a nice pot from Daniel Hill after the latter open-folded his ace-king on the river after missing the board.

The next hand, Karnofsky opened to 500,000 from the small blind, and Hill defended his big blind. Karnofsky continued for 500,000 on the 652 board and took in a second pot against Hill.

Karnofsky made it 500,000 on the next deal, and folded out the table. He then showed pocket jacks. That made it four pots in a row, after his raise once again got through.

Julien Duveau Eliminated in 6th Place ($62,501)

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Julien Duveau
Julien Duveau

Julien Duveau jammed for 1,410,000 from under the gun and got through the table uncontested, with Harlan Karnofsky saying, "I'll get you on the next one."

A few hands later, Duveau moved all in once again. It folded to Karnofsky in the big blind, who squeezed his cards while sporting a hat and t-shirt featuring a raised middle finger directed at GTO. After a brief look, he announced his decision.

"One bad one, one good one. I call."

Julien Duveau: A10
Harlan Karnofsky: A7

Karnofsky paired his "bad one" on the Q76 flop to move ahead. The 9 turn left Duveau needing an eight or a ten to stay alive, but the Q river was no help, sending him to the rail in sixth place as Karnofsky extended his chip lead.
