Steindl Saved

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ashish Gupta made it 35,000 and Chance Kornuth bumped it to 88,000.

Sam Steindl shoved all in behind for almost 300,000 and after Gupta released, Kornuth called with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

Steindl was way behind with the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and looked to be felted through the turn with the board running out {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. However, the {a-Spades} river came down and saved his tournament life.

Sapitavicius Sends Stack to Wolters

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

From early position, Arunas Sapitavicius moved all in and chip leader Derek Wolters in the big blind asked for a count. The Lithuanian was at risk for 221,000 and Wolters elected for the call.

Sapitavicius: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Wolters: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The flop {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} was a big one for Wolters, as he had the straight draw and higher flush draw. With the {3-Diamonds} turn, some outs disappeared but the {4-Spades} river was all the American needed to bust his opponent. Sapitavicius headed to the rail in 10th place and picked up a payday of A$9,415.

Yan is Taking a Chance

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Just a few minutes ago, Chance Kornuth had raised and then four-bet to 177,000 against David "MissOracle" Yan and the New Zealander had folded. The two would clash again with Yan raising to 30,000 and Kornuth calling in the big blind. On the flop {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Kornuth check-raised from 40,000 to 117,000 and Yan called.

The {9-Hearts} turn now saw Kornuth check-call a bet of 135,000 before Yan emptied the clip with an all in for 246,000 on the {10-Diamonds} river once his opponent had checked to him.

"Looks like you got me," Kornuth said and pondered about his decision for a while. Ultimately, the American folded and Yan raked in the big pot.

Sergio Aido
Sergio Aido

Sergio Aido checked to Derek Wolters on a {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop. Wolters led for 45,000 and Aido called.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn, and when the river came the {9-Diamonds}, Aido checked again. Wolters led out for 100,000 and Aido shoved for 298,000 more.

Wolters tanked for a minute before announcing a call. Aido stood up as he turned over the {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, figuring it could not be good. It wasn't. Wolters showed the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} straight and took the chip lead as Aido hit the rail.

Peng's Pressure Works

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Sergio Aido lost a pot to table neighbor Derek Wolters when both players checked down the river {9-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Wolters showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a full house. Then, Arunas Sapitavicius min-raisd to 24,000 and Aido defended his big blind to check-fold the flop {8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

Two hands later, Wolters limped in from the small blind and Tang Peng squeezed to 30,000. Wolters called and check-called a continuation bet on the flop {K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. On the {A-Clubs} turn, Wolters faced a bet of 100,000 by Peng and that resulted in a fold of the American.
