Isaia Eliminated; Zwingmann-Gocht Doubles

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht
Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht

Alessio Isaia had gone all in preflop in the cutoff, and big blind Stian Usterud had folded out another player on the 96K flop to go to showdown.

Alessio Isaia: AQQ32 All in
Stian Usterud: AKQ52

Usterud made a better full house on the KQ runout to send Isaia to the exit.

One hand later, Owais Ahmed raised to 2,400 on the button. Usterud called in the small blind before Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht three-bet to 10,400 in the big blind.

Both players called to the J98 flop, where Usterud led out with a bet of 25,000. Zwingmann-Gocht then piled in his stack of 63,700. Owais folded, but Usterud called off after some debate.

Lucas Zwingmann-Gocht: AKQ103 All in
Stian Usterud: KQQJ4

Zwingmann-Gocht's flopped nuts remained just that on the 5 flop and 6 river, doubling him up to over two and a half starting stacks.

Livingston Trending Down

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On the A82 flop, it checked to Magnus Edengren, who tossed in his final 5,000. Alex Livingston called in the small blind before Richie Allen folded in the cutoff.

Magnus Edengren: A9532 All in
Alex Livingston: A9763

The board ran out with the 7 turn and 8 river. Both players made aces and eights with a nine kicker, but Edengren had the better low to take three-quarters of the pot.

Eveslage Doubles Becker

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Big blind Andrew Becker tossed in 4,000 on the K106 flop, which Chad Eveslage called under the gun. Becker continued for 17,000 on the 2 turn.

Eveslage called again, and did so too when Becker moved all in for 10,300 on the J river.

Becker showed AK862 for a rivered flush, prompting Eveslage to muck his cards.

Vieira Crosses Six Figures

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Joao Vieira was in the small blind and bet 6,000 on the 322 flop. Michael Kamran called in the hijack, and did so again when Vieira sized up to 17,000 on the 10 turn.

The 3 river then checked to showdown. Vieira tabled AA572 for trip deuces, which won him the pot as Kamran only showed Q2 before frustratedly flinging his remaining cards toward the muck.

Taylor Folds Half to Tiny Bet

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Esther Taylor
Esther Taylor

Brian Breck fired a pot-sized bet of 18,100 on the 9K8 flop from the big blind. Yuval Bronshtein folded in early position before Esther Taylor called in the cutoff. Nino Pansier got out of the way as well, leading to a heads-up 4 turn.

Breck quickly potted again for 54,300, leaving only 2,000 behind. After some debate, Taylor just called, after which Breck put in the rest on the A river.

Taylor went deep into the tank, but eventually decided to fold for what amounted to less than 2 percent of the pot.

Breck gleefully showed 87642 as he raked in the chips.

"Oh my god, I could beat that," Taylor claimed in horror as she saw her opponent's hand. "I'm the worst ever," she continued before she and some tablemates erupted in laughter, "but you still had the low."

Duran Double-Pots as Defending Champ Joins

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a 2J57 turn, big blind Octaviano Duran announced a pot-sized bet of 11,300. Dylan Smith called in the big blind, after which the 5 river completed the board.

Duran pushed in piles again; this time it amounted 33,900. Smith quickly laid his hand down, and the pot was shipped to Duran.

Meanwhile, defending champion Veerachai Vongxaiburana was spotted playing at another table.
