Walking Sticks Hold for Bansal

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Destephen opened to 200,000 from the hijack. Paawan Bansal woke up with a hand in the small blind and opted to re-raise to 700,000, leaving only 10,000 behind.

Destephen called and sent them to a flop of J♥8♣10♦. Destephen flicked out 10,000, and Bansal called to put himself at risk.

Paawan Bansal: 7♣7♥All in
Michael Destephen: K♠Q♥

Bansal was ahead, but Destephen had plenty of cards that would improve him to the best hand.

The 4♠ turn was a blank, and the river repeated that pattern when the 4♦ turn completed the board as Bansal escaped danger to double up.

Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Russell Giordano opened from under the gun and action folded around to Michael Forca moved all in for his remaining 370,000. It didn't take long for Giordano to call and the players flipped their cards and went to showdown.

Michael Forca: K♦J♦All in
Russell Giordano: 9♥9♠

Forca was looking to the board for help and flopped a flush draw after the 7♣3♦5♦ was fanned, but still needed to hit to stay alive.

He didn't have to wait long as the 2♦ turn was enough to put him ahead and the A♣ river sealed him the pot, saving him from elimination.

Christopher Church moved all in from the early position, and Brett Kennedy re-shoved with the bigger stack from middle position, while everyone else folded. Church was disappointed to see Kennedy's cards.

Christopher Church: 8♥8♦ All in
Brett Kennedy: 9♣9♥

The board stayed safe for Kennedy with K♦4♠7♠2♥5♦, and Church was eliminated.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastian Stefanski opened to 200,000 from under the gun before Caleb Bolander opted to re-raise to 650,000 from the big blind.

Stefanski called and sent them to a flop of K♦8♥5♣.

Bolander continued for 750,000 before Stefanski raised to 1,800,000. Bolander shoved, and Stefanski shrugged and called to put Bolander at risk.

Caleb Bolander: A♠K♥All in
Sebastian Stefanski: K♣J♣

Bolander was well ahead of Stefanski, who had kicker issues in this hand.

The 9♠ turn did not alter the standings, and the 8♠ river completed the board to give Bolander the double up as Stefanski's stack tumbled down the charts.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Tianyu Zheng open jammed all in from the cut-off and found calls from Robert Macri on the button and Joshua Lusby-Angvick in the big blind, and had both players covered.

Robert Macri: KxQx All in
Joshua Lusby-Angvick: A♣Q♣ All in
Tianyu Zheng: A♠9♣

Lusby-Angvick was way ahead but did need to dodge some outs to scoop a massive pot. Nothing changed on the 3♦10♣10♦ flop and when the A♦ peeled off on the turn he just needed to dodge a nine to stay alive. The river bricked out with the 6♦ and Lusby-Angvick was shipped the huge pot to soar up the chip counts.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Jackson Turrentine raised to 200,000 from the button, while Arash Sarraf three-bet all in for 1,200,000. Billy Tarango called with the shortest stack with 425,000 from the big blind, and Turrentine moved out of the way.

Billy Tarango: K♦K♣ All in
Arash Sarraf: A♥7♥

The board came out with K♠3♥J♣10♠2♠, and the cowboys tripped up for the win.

River Fortune Shines on Kingstone

Erick Torres

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Max Kingstone shoved for 475,000 from early position and was called by Aaron Gao in the hijack to be at risk.

Max Kingstone: 8♠8♣All in
Aaron Gao: J♣J♥

Gao had Kingstone's pair dominated, and the flop did not offer any drama when it came A♠7♣K♣.

The A♣ turn was of no consequence, but the river was just what Kingstone needed when it came the 8♥ to give him a set and crack the jacks for Gao.

Lyons Time Comes to an End

Laura Fryer

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Action folded around to John Lyons who open-jammed for his remaining 380,000 from the small blind. Jason James was in the big blind and remarked "I have to call".

Lyons said "these are the best cards I have had in hours..." before flipping over his hand. He stood from the table after seeing his was against James's big slick.

John Lyons: Q♣5♣All in
Jason James: A♦K♠

The K♥A♣5♥ flop looked good for James, but Lyon was calling for a "runner-runner jack-ten". There was a small tease for Lyons as the dealer placed the J♠ turn, but he didn't quite make it as the 9♥ completed the board.

Juric Bows Out

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Grant Juric was on fumes and shoved from the small blind and was called by Brett Kennedy in the big blind to be at risk.

Grant Juric: K♦3♠All in
Brett Kennedy: Q♥6♦

Juric held the slight edge, but it evaporated on the Q♣Q♦4♠ flop when Kennedy improved to trips.

The K♣ turn gave Juric a sliver of hope, but the 9♦ denied the comeback as Juric was eliminated from contention.
