Estes Puts Kenjic in the Tank; All-Time Money Leaders Exit

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Catching the action on a K♣10♣Q♦3♠ turn, Jovan Kenjic bet 305,000 into a pot of 275,000 from the big blind. Zackary Estes called in the hijack, after which the 10♦ river was dealt.

Kenjic put in another 300,000, but this time Estes raised all in, covering Kenjic's stack of 1,000,000.

Kenjic spent four of his time banks before he found a fold, surrendering the pot without showdown.

Shortly before the hand, Bryn Kenney lost the remainder of his chips at another table, while Stephen Chidwick was the short stack at this table and busted not much later.

Heads up to the 3♥5♥5♠ flop, Christopher Nguyen checked from the big blind to Martin Kabrhel in early position. Kabrhel bet 50,000, and Nguyen called.

Kabrhel sized up to 160,000 on the 5♦ turn, again seeing his opponent check-call. After a third check from Nguyen on the K♥ river, Kabrhel quickly moved his stack all in, covering Nguyen's 670,000.

Nguyen snap-called. Kabrhel only briefly flashed his cards before Nguyen tabled K♥Q♣ for a full house to take the pot.

During the hand, Punnat Punsri got his stack of roughly 1,100,000 in preflop with AxKx against Brandon Wilson's QxQx at another table.

Punsri could not find any help on the board, and his chips were added to Wilson's giant stack.

His hopes of remaining in his seat ended after being dealt the Q♣ turn and 9♣ river.

After doubling up with pocket nines and knocking down Adrian Mateos to a single 25,000 chip, Cary Katz was up to 2,150,000.

Mateos was forced all in the next hand from the big blind and saw Hannes Jeschka limp on the button. Katz called from the small blind and the players went three-ways to the 7♠8♦6♠ flop.

Katz check-raised to 200,000 after seeing Jeschka bet 50,000. Jeschka called and the players were dealt the 9♥ turn. Action was checked by both to see the K♠ river and Katz bet 200,000. Jeschka tank-called, and all three players turned over their hands.

Adrian Mateos: 5♣4♣All in
Hannes Jeschka: 8♥7♥
Cary Katz: 10♠9♠

Mateos had flopped a straight, but Katz got there with his spade flush on the river to take the pot and send Mateos to the rail.

Aleksejs Ponakovs jammed for 165,000 from early position. Alex Foxen on the button raised to 280,000 and the blinds folded.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: J♠9♠ All in
Alex Foxen: K♦Q♥

To everybody’s surprise, Ponakovs flopped a rare straight flush on Q♠10♠K♠2♠3♠ to double up. He still moved all-in again in the next hand and faced Alexandros Theologis in middle position.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♣9♠ All in
Alexandros Theologis: 8♦8♠

Ponakovs wasn't as lucky this time and was eliminated on 7♠10♠Q♥7♥4♦.

Mikita Badziakouski had raised under the gun and quickly called off when Samuel Mullur committed his stack of 500,000 from middle position.

Samuel Mullur: 10♦10♣ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: A♣Q♦

Muller's tens remained best on the 9♠9♦5♥ flop, but Badziakouski paired up on the Q♣ turn to take the lead. The 8♦ river was inconsequential, sending Mullur to the rail.
