Grech Check-Raises Sarmiento

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Zachary Grech raised to 100,000 under the gun. Steven Sarmiento called in middle position, after which the duo checked through the 8K4 flop.

The 7 turn was also checked by Grech. Sarmiento took a stab at the pot with a bet of 250,000, but he folded when Grech raised the pot to 1,050,000.

Four Last Hands Announced

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With 32 players spread evenly across the final four tables, the clock was stopped with eight minutes remaining. The last hands of the night were drawn, which happened to be the very same four until all players get to bag their chips.

Linde Escapes on the River

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dylan Linde raised the pot off his short stack in the hijack and then called all-in after Joni Jouhkimainen jammed on the button to force out the blinds.

Dylan Linde: KJ97 All in
Joni Jouhkimainen: A1097

The AJ10 flop gave both players a piece and the 4 turn had Linde on the verge of elimination. However, he got there with the J river to make trips and double for 315,000.

Mio is a Cat With Many Lives

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Hani Mio
Hani Mio

Hani Mio pushed all-in for 420,000 with the flop showing J87 and Ka Kwan Lau asked for the size of the pot, which was 460,000 by then. Once it was confirmed that Mio was all-in, Lau prepared calling chips and Mio instantly gave away the impression of suddenly not wanting a call.

Lau, however, made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Hani Mio: 9955 All in
Ka Kwan Lau: AKQ10

The 2 turn and 8 river changed nothing, and since Lau didn't have any pair, the pocket nines of Mio were good enough for the double despite missing his combo draw.

Martinez Gonzales Fires Into Foxen

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a 600,000 pot, Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet 450,000 on the 96A4 turn from middle position. Alex Foxen called in the cutoff, after which the 2 river completed the board.

Martinez Gonzalez sized up to 1,150,000, but the seven-figure bet was too much for Foxen, who quickly folded.

Late-Night Counts

"Are You Kidding Me?", Trojand Doubles with No Showdown

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jeremy Trojand
Jeremy Trojand

Stian Usterud raised to 140,000 from under the gun, which Hani Mio and Barrett Threadgill called in from the hijack and button. Jeremy Trojand then three-bet to 740,000 from the small blind, which was roughly three-quarters of his stack. Usterud called, but Moi and Threadgill folded.

The dealer laid out a 646 flop, and Trojand moved all in for 250,000. With little hesitation, Usterud tossed his cards into the muck, seeing Trojand double his stack without having to show his cards.

"Are you kidding me?" one of the other players said in disbelief.

To soften the blow of not seeing his cards, Trojand tabled the 6, but mucked the other three.

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sarmiento tabled 1086Xx for a full house, and Negreanu mucked his cards in defeat.

Costanzo Doubles Through Pärssinen

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matthew Costanzo limp-jammed for 365,000 and was called by big stack Eelis Pärssinen in the final hand on their table before everyone was set to be moved to new seat assignments.

Matthew Costanzo: QQ84 All in
Eelis Pärssinen: KK73

The superior pocket pair was cracked on the AQ8A9 runout and Costanzo survived once more.

Lahmani Leaves the Field

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Oshri Lahmani raised to 140,000 in the cutoff. Steven Sarmiento called in the big blind before Lahmani's remaining 350,000 flew in on the JQ5 flop.

Oshri Lahmani: AAJ9 All in
Steven Sarmiento: KJJ3

Sarmiento had flopped a set, leaving Lahmani drawing slim. The 4 turn and 9 river did not help him, and he said his goodbyes to the table before leaving to pick up his payout.
