Redman and Smbatyan Chop the High

Level 18

Big O

Action was picked up on a flop of K10Q with early position raiser Artyom Smbatyan and button Robert Redman heads-up. Smbatyan had check-shoved 93,000 over Redman's 20,000 bet, sending him deep into the tank. Eventually, he made the call for almost all his chips, and saw the bad news.

Artyom Smbatyan: AJJ75 All in
Robert Redman: A101096

Smbatyan had flopped Broadway, and Redman needed the board to pair. However, he got there in another way. The A turn and J river gave Redman Broadway as well, so they chopped the pot.

Smbatyan expressed his frustration over not having scooped.

Shack-Harris Takes Out Miner

Level 18

Big O

Benjamin Miner raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and Brandon Shack-Harris called in the big blind.

The flop rolled out AK10 and Shack-Harris bet 11,000 to see Miner call.

On the turn 7, Shack-Harris moved all in for 43,000 effective and Miner called after some thought.

Benjamin Miner: AKQ43 All in
Brandon Shack-Harris: KJ1032

Nothing changed on the river Q and the flopped flush was good for the WSOP bracelet winner to take down the pot.

Costa Survives All-In

Level 18

Big O
Ilia Krupin and Marcelo V.R. Costa reraised each other until all of Costa's 160,000 chips were in preflop.

Marcelo V.R. Costa: AK1032All in
Ilia Krupin: A9754

The runout of 83629 the two took their bets back, as Costa survived with the king-high flush and Krupin took half the pot with the nut low.

Yoon Falls To McMaster

Level 18

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Derek McMaster called from under the gun, and Brian Yoon raised pot from the button to 24,000. Action folded back to McMaster, who ripped it for 36,000 total, and Yoon called to put himself at risk.

Brian Yoon: AJJ4 All in
Derek McMaster: AJ84

The board ran out K93103, and the jack-high flush was good for McMaster to eliminate the five-time WSOP bracelet winner from the tournament.

Up, Up and (Finally) Away

Level 18

Omaha Hi-Lo

Chip Jett figured his exit was imminent, but it took longer than he imagined.

He jumped all in with 6,000 chips, less than the big blind, against two players and came out of it with 11,000. Michael Amato was knocked out in that hand by Seth Frederici.

In the next hand, Jett fired his shot again; this time, Tony Cousineau was sent to the rail by Robert Mizrachi, and Jett's stack grew to 33,000.

The third time was a lot less charming than the previous two. Jett got it all in preflop against Ken Aldridge.

Chip Jett: 101042All in
Ken Aldridge: AK64

The runout of K57J3 gave Aldridge a better low and a straight for the high.

Taylor Scoops at Expense of Daniels

Level 18

Big O

James Gladwell opened to 10,000 from early position, and Shawn Daniels moved all in for that exact amount from the cutoff. Thomas Taylor called on the button, as did Matthew Hine from the big blind.

On a flop of 9Q6, Gladwell checked, and Taylor shoved for 37,000. Only Gladwell made the call.

Shawn Daniels: A8762 All in
Thomas Taylor: KKJ98 All in
James Gladwell: AQ542

Gladwell and Taylor had both flopped massive, with Daniels drawing thin. The 8 turn gave Taylor two pair, and he improved to a better one on the J river, as his jacks and nines sent the pot his way.

Krasienko Quarters Fishman

Level 18

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

With a board reading 854, action was picked up with Michael Krasienko all in and at risk for his last 87,000 in the hijack against Ray Fishman on the button.

Michael Krasienko: AKK2 All in
Ray Fishman: AQ72

Nothing changed on the runout of 810, and the kings-up were good for Krasienko to take down the high, while both of them shared the same nut low.
