Chip Counts
John Gallenberg raised to 100,000 in middle position and Matt Affleck three-bet to 535,000 in the big blind, leaving himself with just 25,000 back. Gallenberg made the call.
The flop came 7♣10♣9♦, Affleck tossed the rest of his chips into the pot, and Gallenberg quickly called.
Matt Affleck: Q♣Q♥
John Gallenberg: 4♣4♠
Affleck was in great shape to double up, but the 8♦ turn and 6♥ river put a straight on the board, resulting in a chop.
Yannick Capocetti raised to 135,000 from middle position. Martin Mccloskey went all-in for 205,000 from the hijack. Dylan Kahn responded with a three-bet to 285,000 on the button. Capocetti opted to do a four-bet all-in and was snap-called by Kahn as Mccloskey and Capocetti were at risk.
Martin Mccloskey: J♥J♣
Yannick Capocetti: Q♥Q♣
Dylan Kahn: A♠A♣
It was pairs everywhere as Kahn had the best of it with his aces.
It was all Kahn on the flop of 8♣2♥A♦ as he improved to top set to all but close the door on his opponents.
The 2♣ turn sealed the deal, making the 10♦ river inconsequential as Kahn secured the double knockout.
The recently eliminated players all managed to ladder a couple of pay jumps this morning and took home $8,800.
Just 236 players remain, with the next pay jump at 224th place, where it will tick over to five figures and players will have locked up $10,100.
Level: 24
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
Seth Fischer raised to 60,000 from under the gun. Bradley Gafford three-bet to 260,000 in the big blind. Fischer then four-bet to 550,000, and Gafford called.
The flop came 8♠K♣9♥. Gafford checked, and Fischer tossed out a bet of 200,000. After a brief moment of thought, Gafford tossed his cards into the muck.
Richard Tuhrim raised to 65,000 from middle position before Scott Stewart re-raised to 175,000 from the cutoff. Tuhrim stuck around with a call.
The 9♠A♦7♦ flop led to a check from Tuhrim. Stewart continued for 120,000 and was called.
Tuhrim checked again on the 4♣ turn, which led to a bet of 310,000 from Stewart.
Tuhrim gave it considerable thought before he chose to fold as Stewart took it down without a showdown.
Freddy Caisson opened to 65,000 from the cutoff and Nianqing Wang called from the small blind.
The 3♣5♠Q♥ flop saw Wang move all in for his last 225,000. Caisson looked at Wang's stack, then opted to muck, allowing Wang to regain some chips.
Wang open-jammed the next hand and saw no takers, allowing him to scoop the blinds.
Chun Kwan opened to 60,000 from early position. Alexander Guerriero went all-in for 945,000 on the button in response. Bo Chen made the call out of the big blind, while Kwan made the fold to send Guerrierio and Chen to a showdown with Guerriero at risk.
Alexander Guerriero: A♣J♣
Bo Chen: 3♦3♣
Guerriero was behind, but the flop gave him additional outs when it came 5♦K♣5♣.
Guerriero spiked an ace on the A♦ turn to pull well ahead with one card to go.
The Q♦ completed the board and awarded Guerriero the double-up.
Richard Tuhrim opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Ignacio Sole called from the cutoff. Jason Wheeler three-bet to 215,000 on the button and only Sole called.
The 6♥3♠7♥ flop saw Sole check, Wheeler bet 140,000 and Sole jam for his last 710,000. Wheeler snap called for his last 630,000 and the pair tabled their cards.
Jason Wheeler: A♥A♠
Ignacio Sole: 10♣10♦
Wheeler was behind, but the 10♠ turn saw Sole take the lead. There was no coming back for Wheeler and he hit the rail just after the first break of the day after seeing the 2♠ fall on the river.
