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

Pot-Limit Omaha

The action was joined with a board dealt to a 6♥8♠A♠9♥ turn, and roughly 350,000 in the pot.

Through a series of bets, Juha Helppi manoeuvred his entire 2,075,000 stack into the middle from under the gun, and was at risk versus Dan Smith on the button.

Juha Helppi: A♦10♦8♣7♠ All in
Dan Smith: A♣Q♦9♠8♦

Helppi had turned the nuts, and when Smith found no help on the 4♣ river, he moved his stack into the middle to be sent across the table.

It was not immediately clear which player had which covered, but once the stacks were checked, Helppi had a full double up, and Smith was left with just a handful of big blinds.

No-Limit Hold'em

Naoya Kihara opened to 100,000 from under the gun, and Eelis Parssinen flatted from the button. The two went off to a flop of A♠8♦9♠.

Kihara checked it over, and Parssinen bet out for 90,000. Kihara took some time before sticking in the call, and checking again on the 9♣ turn. Parssinen didn't slow down and put 245,000 forward. Yet again, Kihara made the call, bringing in the Q♦ river.

Action checked through, and Kihara promptly tabled A♥4♥ for aces up. Parssinen let his cards go.

Dan Smith: Q♠Q♦

There was no help from the deck to be found for Riordan, with the 5♠4♣10♣J♥3♦ board confirming his elimination.

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

Pot-Limit Omaha

Dan Smith open-potted to 105,000 under the gun, with cutoff Lou Garza and big blind Dylan Linde both making the call.

On a flop of 2♣K♣2♥ Linde checked, and Smith moved all in for 350,000. Garza folded, and Linde stuck in the chips.

Dan Smith: A♦Q♣9♦8♣ All in
Dylan Linde: A♣9♣7♥7♠

Smith had an inferior flush draw, as well as just a pair of twos, as he just needed to hit in order to survive. The A♥ turn gave him the instant lead, and he faded his opponent's outs on the 3♥

Pot Limit Omaha

Action was picked up on the flop between four players including Carlo van Ravenswoud on the button, Michael Mizrachi in the small blind, Eelis Parssinen in first position, and Lou Garza in the hijack.

The board read 10♣5♦4♣ and Mizrachi moved all in for 430,000 to see Parssinen fold, Garza pot it, and Van Ravenswoud fold.

Michael Mizrachi: 7♠7♦6♥3♥ All in
Lou Garza: 9♣8♥7♥6♣

A runout of 6♠5♣ gave a straight to Garza and he raked in the pot, while the WSOP main event champion was eliminated.

Michael Mizrachi opened under the gun, before Eelis Parssinen put in a three-bet to 160,000 two doors down. Nick Schulman peeled his cards on the button and moved all in for 1,150,000. Mizrachi got out of the way, but Parssinen stuck in the chips.

Nick Schulman: 10♥10♦ All in
Eelis Parssinen: K♥K♠

It was a ten and a ten only for Schulman, who didn't even pick up as much as a backdoor on the 8♣5♠3♥ flop. He hit the post with the 9♠ turn, and the 4♣ river confirmed his elimination.
