Heyden Finishes Off Cheng

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Wen Chang was all in preflop for his last 12,000 and in dire straits against David Heyden.

Wen Chang: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
David Heyden: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop delivered the case ace which meant Chang needed to catch running cards to make Broadway. The {3-Spades} turn took away any chance of that happening as it gave Heyden aces full.

The meaningless {10-Hearts} was run out on the river and Chang hit the rail.

Ladies Lead to Lang's Demise

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Mike Lang
Mike Lang

Toby Lewis raised from early position and was met by a three-bet to roughly 3,500 from Mike Lang in the hijack. Action folded back to Lewis and he four-bet to 8,500, which Lang opted just to call.

When the flop came down {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}, Lewis continued for 4,000 and Lang, who earlier in the series won the 2019 Wynn Winter Classic Seniors Event, raised all in for approximately 20,000. Lewis snap-called and Lang discovered the bad news.

Mike Lang: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Toby Lewis: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Lang's ladies were no good and he failed to get lucky as the {3-Diamonds} bricked on the turn followed by the {a-Clubs} on the river.

Another Round of Chip Counts

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Gates Takes It on the Turn

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Garry Gates
Garry Gates

After a player raised to 600 from early position, 2019 WSOP Main Event fourth-place finisher Garry Gates three-bet to 1,800 two spots over in the hijack. Marko Pantelic came along from the small blind, the initial raiser did the same, and the trio took a flop of {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

The early-position player checked, Gates continued for 2,100, and Pantelic folded. The original raiser called and then checked for the second time on the {5-Hearts} turn.

Gates, who recently won a gold ring down at the WSOP Circuit International Aruba stop, upped his bet to 4,200 and this time it did the trick as his opponent wasted little time in folding.

Jazayeri Flushed By Pantelic

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Sean  Jazayeri
Sean Jazayeri

We missed the elimination of WPT champ Sean Jazayeri but Garry Gates, who was at the table when it happened, was kind enough to fill us in on some details.

As he told it, there was some action on a {j-}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop before Jazayeri got the rest of his chips in on the turn, which was a third diamond, against Marko Pantelic.

Sean Jazayeri: {k-Diamonds}{k-}
Marko Pantelic: {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Jazayeri had an overpair with a king-high flush draw, which he needed to hit as Patenlic already had the diamond flush with the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The {k-Spades} on the river gave Jazayeri a set but it wasn't good enough and he headed for the exit.

"They Didn't Follow Through"

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Stan Jablonski opened with a raise of 400 from the hijack and picked up callers in both blinds.

"It's going to be a big one," Jablonski said to us before the flop came down {10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Two checks saw Jablonski continue for 400 and both his opponents folded.

"They didn't follow through," Jablonski said with a smile as he pulled in the pot.
