Song with the Boom

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Kevin Song checked from the small blind before Arthur Peters bet out 3,500.

Charles Dolan called, as did Assani Fisher, before Song check-raised to 15,200.

Peters, Dolan, and Fisher all quickly folded, and Song collected the pot to move to 75,000 in chips.

Simao Applies the Pressure

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the board reading {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} and around 25,000 in the middle, the cutoff led out for 8,000. Joao Simao was on the button and raised to 16,200, just over the minimum. His opponent called and the {10-Spades} was dealt on the river.

Simao's opponent checked and he bet 37,000, putting his opponent's tournament life at risk should he call. His opponent was left with just 28,200 and needed to make a decision. He scratched his head and played with his chips for over three minutes. He finally looked toward Simao and asked a question, but Simao sat with his headphones on and gave no reply. The cards were finally pushed away and Simao raked in the pot.

Hunichen Busts Floyd

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Chris Hunichen
Chris Hunichen

The board was all but rushed away and Brooks Floyd left the table while Chris Hunichen's {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} were still tabled as he raked in the pot. According to Hunichen, he raised to 1,800 and Floyd moved all in for 15,200. William Conway called the all in of Floyd, but folded {A-}{Q-} to the isolation shove of Hunichen.

The board came {Q-}{10-}{4-}{Q-}{A-} and Floyd was sent to the rail. "Ace-king is the worst hand I shove there," Hunichen said in table chat to Conway.

He checked and his opponent checked behind. Jaka tabled {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for top pair with no kicker and it was good enough to win the pot.

Weisner Folds to a River Bet

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Both players checked to the [8d on the river. The small blind fired again, this time for 12,000 and Weisner thought for a couple moments before releasing her hand to the muck.

Warburton's Stack Vanishes in Two Hands

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The cards of Steven Warburton were already in the muck and he paid off the all in of Dylan Nguyen on the river of a board {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Nguyen had rivered a straight with {8-Spades}{6-Spades} and took more than half of Warburton's stack.

Soon after, Warburton got into a clash with table neighbor Mike Schneider and got the remainder of his 32,000 stack in preflop.

Steven Warburton: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Mike Schneider: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Warburton said "you got more" before quickly heading to the exit.

Schneider Getting Shorter

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in the hijack called, the small blind called, and Tom Schneider checked his option.

The flop fell {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and the small blind checked. Schneider bet 1,000, the hijack called, and the small blind folded.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and Schneider checked. The hijack bet 1,200 and Schnieder folded, leaving himself with less than 10 big blinds.

K.O. For Doug Polk

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Doug Polk opened from the cutoff with a raise to 1,800. Action folded to the small blind player who called and the two took to a flop of {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. The small blind checked to Polk who bet 2,000 and the player called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the small blind led out with a bet of 5,000. Polk called.

On the {8-Hearts} river, the small blind moved all in with a stack of just a bit over 20,000. Polk snap called.

"Good call," the small blind player said.

Polk turned up {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} while the small blind showed just {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} for king high.

"See, if you hadn't done all those stupid videos about king blockers he might still be in the tournament!" Sam Grafton said to Polk after the hand. Doug smiled and shook hands with the small blind player as he made his exit from the tournament.
