Successful Stab for Amadi

Kirk Brown

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bao Huynh opened to 1,600 and was called by Kelechi Amadi, but then Charlie Nguyen three-bet to 6,500. Huynh and Amadi both made the call and the three players saw a flop of 2♦K♣K♦.

Nguyen checked to Huynh, who also checked, and then the action was on Amadi who fired at it for 7,000. This resulted in hasty folds from both of his opponents to award him the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way turn of J♣3♣10♠, there was already over 55,000 in the middle when Chad Melerine ripped his stack into the middle, followed by a shove from Danylo Turov for more. The action was then on Zhong Wilkerson, who was deep in the tank debating her options.

After a good thirty seconds, she set out her stack to make the call and the cards were on their backs.

Chad Melerine: Q♦J♦
Zhong Wilkerson: K♣Q♥
Danylo Turov: 3♥3♠

Turov had the best of it with his set of threes, he just needed to fade an ace or a none that would give Zhong the nut straight. Fortunately for him, the river was the brick 2♣ and he was awarded the massive pot while his two opponents made their way to the exit.

Han Feng opened to 1,500 and was then three-bet to 5,000 by Jose Montes. Han responded by four-betting to 15,000 and Montes quickly moved all in, which Feng snap-called to put him at risk.

Jose Montes: 9♠9♦
Han Feng: K♥K♣

The board ran out 6♣4♠Q♦6♦4♦ for Feng's kings to hold and he was awarded the pot while Montes exited the tournament area.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up turn of J♠10♠J♥5♥, there was already around 27,500 when Sang Ngo led for 6,000 and was raised to 14,200 by Joshua Thibodaux. After some thought, Ngo re-raised to 31,000 and Thibodaux moved all in for a little more, which Ngo quickly called.

"I just have a jack," Thibodaux said as he tabled Q♦J♦ for trip jacks while Ngo flipped over 9♥9♣, needing to improve.

The river came the blank 2♥ and the pot was pushed over to Thibodaux for a full double.
