Schindler Happy To Check Down Against Mio

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Three ways limped preflop to the 854 flop, Maximilian Schindler in the small blind and Barrett Threadgill in the big blind checked. Hani Mio on the button bet 60,000 and Schindler was the only caller.

After the A turn and J river, both players checked and Schindler announced jack-eight for two pair. Mio had that beat with the AQ82 for aces and eights, and got shown Schindler's QJ84.

"Always happy to check that one down," Schindler said and added he didn't like the ace.

"Hearts would have gotten us in trouble," Mio replied in the final hand before the dinner break.

Mooney Not Making the Money

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Geoffrey Mooney
Geoffrey Mooney

Geoffrey Mooney pushed his last 91,000 into a pot of 135,000 from the big blind on the K73 flop, being up against Joni Jouhkimainen in middle position.

Geoffrey Mooney: KQ98 All in
Joni Jouhkimainen: A754

Jouhkimainen turned two pair on the 4, which remained enough to knock Mooney out when the river came the J.

Mooney took a few moments to process his exit, then stood up to leave the tournament area as the $25k PLO High Roller was left on the stone bubble.

Mighall Gets Two to Fold

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

In a pot worth 340,000, small blind Phillip Mighall, Tom Vogelsang under the gun, and Kristopher Tong on the button all checked the 61039 turn.

The K river then completed the board. Mighall fired a bet of 175,000, and the eight other cards in play swiftly hit the muck.

Martinez Gonzalez and Pärssinen Add to Their Stacks

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez

In a three-way limped pot to the AQ52 turn without any betting action until then, Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet 45,000 in the small blind and Ka Kwan Lau folded in the big blind. Lou Garza called in the cutoff and they went heads-up to the 5 river.

Martinez Gonzalez now made it 100,000 to go and Garza raised to 350,000 for half of his stack. The chip leader from Spain eventually called and Garza announced two pair, but never really showed his cards as Martinez Gonzalez claimed the pot with the AJ42.

Soon after that, Philip Marsico led the A96 flop for 75,000 from late position and Eelis Pärssinen called on the button. The 2 followed on the turn and Marsico asked for the pot size, then made it 180,000 to go into 290,000 with Pärssinen sticking around.

Marsico slowed down to check the 5 river and now it was up to Pärssinen to inquire how much was in the middle. The Finn bet 480,000 into 650,000 and Marsico sent his cards into the muck.

Bubble Working for Helppi

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With 220,000 in the pot, and a board dealt to a 9748 turn, Robert Cowen bet 160,000 from middle position, and Juha Helppi called in the cutoff.

Cowen continued for a smaller bet of 55,000 on the 6 river, but this time Helppi elected to raise, making it 300,000 to go. Cowen took a moment to decide, but opted to fold, seeing more chips flow to Helppi.

Juhasz Doubles Through Benyamine

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With half of his stack already in the middle preflop, Benjamin Juhasz was all in for 248,000 on the K32 flop and looked up by David Benyamine. They had to wait until all other tables were finished before they ran the showdown.

Benjamin Juhasz: AAK7 All in
David Benyamine: 8754

The 8 turn and 2 river kept Juhasz ahead with the pocket aces while Daniel Negreanu said he had folded pocket kings preflop and would have improved to a full house, even apologizing to the other tables.

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

In a pot of about 90,000, Scott Seiver pushed in his last 68,000 from the big blind on a 31010 flop. Tom Vogelsang called in the hijack to put him at risk.

Scott Seiver: KK99 All in
Tom Vogelsang: AAK7

Seiver needed a king or nine to survive, but the 2 turn and 4 river appeared instead, sending Seiver to the rail.
