Shack-Harris Takes the Rest of Kennedy's Chips

Liam Gannon
Liam Gannon
Level 19

Big O

Just before break, Christopher Kennedy got in his final 12,000 from the button while a side pot was created between Brandon Shack-Harris and Vadim Shlez worth 122,000.

The flop rolled out 9♦4♠4♦ and Shack-Harris jammed for 97,000 to see Shlez fold.

Christopher Kennedy: K♣J♥10♣3♠2♣ All in
Brandon Shack-Harris: A♦A♣10♠8♦4♣

Kennedy picked up a lot of outs to survive on the 8♠ turn, but the river 4♥ gave Shack-Harris quads and Kennedy was eliminated from the tournament.

Shlez Hits Million Chip Mark

Big O

Undoubtedly the biggest pot of the tournament so far just took place, as Christopher Kennedy and Derek Mcmaster both limped in as first two to act. Vadim Shlez then potted to 33,000 from middle position, and both players made the call.

The 5♣8♥J♥ flop checked through, bringing in the action Q♠ turn. Here, Kennedy led out for 78,000, Mcmaster potted to 348,000, before Shlez then three-bet shoved. Kennedy made the call, covering him by just 1,000, and Mcmaster called all in for just slightly less than the other two.

Derek Mcmaster: A♥Q♣8♣8♠3♦ All in
Vadim Shlez: A♠K♥10♥10♣3♠ All in
Christopher Kennedy: Q♦J♣10♦9♣5♠

Mcmaster had third set and the second-nut low draw: Shlez turned the world with a full Broadway wrap, second nut hearts, and the same low draw as Mcmaster. Kennedy's turned nuts went along with three pairs on the board also for boat redraws. In a 1.6 million chip pot, the river 6♥ crushed Kennedy, with Shlez's flush taking the high, as he also chopped the low with Mcmaster.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Anderson Ireland moved all in from the small blind and was called by Matt Glantz.

Anderson Ireland: A♦K♥J♦3♠All in
Matt Glantz: 5♥4♦3♦2♣

The runout of 8♥A♥5♠2♥A♣ produced a wheel and scoop for Glantz and an exit for Ireland.

Wood Wins!

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

The hand was picked up as the river turned, with Gregory Wood already all in with his remaining 268,000 chips having been called by Gebrehiwet Goitom.

Gregory Wood: A♠8♣5♣3♦All in
Gebrehiwet Goitom: J♠4♣3♠2♠

With the board reading 4♠8♥K♣7♠, the Q♣ river gave Wood the surprising scoop, much to his delight, winning the high with just a pair of eights and the low with second-nut..

"Where is PokerNews now?" he shouted. "They're never here when I hit one of these, but always here when I bust."

Mantel Takes Half

Big O

Corey Bradford opened the action with a raise to 12,000. Perry Green flatted from middle position, then Samuel Del Castillo Guerra potted to 54,000 from the small blind, which was exactly his stack. Ariel Mantel called from the big blind, with Bradford and Green doing the same.

Mantel then open-potted the 2♣7♦5♣ flop, putting out 222,000. Bradford called all in, and 1981 WSOP Main Event runner-up Green folded after some thought.

Samuel Del Castillo Guerra: A♦9♠7♠6♦3♠ All in
Corey Bradford: A♥K♠Q♦10♥3♥All in
Ariel Mantel: A♣7♥4♣4♠2♠

Mantel had flopped massive, and secured at least half the pot with the K♣ turn giving him the nut flush. He couldn't find a miracle three to scoop, as the 8♥ river had his opponents chop the nut low. Bradford took a quarter of the main pot, and half of the side.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Perry Green raised in early position to see Brandon Paster in the big blind call. The flop rolled out Q♣8♠3♣, and Paster check-called a bet from Green.

Paster checked the turn K♦ over to Green, who bet again, and Paster called a second time.

On the river 5♥, Green bet a third time after Paster checked, and Paster tossed his hand away. The 90-year-old bracelet winner raked in the pot, chasing his second Omaha final table of the week.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

After Reagan Rich limped for 15,000 in middle position, Gebrehiwet Goitom went all in with 54,000.

Robert Redman came over the top with da pot-ized raised to 177,000 chips. Rich thought about it for a minute before releasing his hand.

Gebrehiwet Goitom: A♣K♦7♥6♥All in
Robert Redman: A♦J♠10♠2♠

The board ran out 8♥5♥9♥4♣10♦. Goitom flopped a straight flush, but Redman turned a low to split the pot.

Diehl Knocks Out Osullivan

Big O

Osullivan got all in under the gun for his final 27,000 preflop and received one customer in Ryan Schoonbaert on the button.

John Osullivan: A♣Q♣Q♥9♣4♦ All in
Ryan Schoonbaert: A♠K♣7♥5♣2♦

Osullivan's rivered set on the 6♠10♥9♥8♠Q♠ runout was no match against the nine-high straight of Schoonbaert, sending him home just shy of the next pay jump.
