Tyler Foran

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Shiina Okamoto opened in the hijack and called a three-bet of 32,000 from Jerry Odeen on the button.

When the 8♥7♣4♠ flop hit the felt, Okamoto checked and Odeen pushed 300,000 across the line. Okamoto snapped off her 111,000 total and both hands were tabled.

Shiina Okamoto: A♠A♥ All in
Jerry Odeen: A♣8♠

Okamoto set the trap with her aces and the Q♠ turn and 4♣ river changed nothing.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jacob Stone limped in the hijack for 6,000. Andrea Roci raised to 22,000 from the cutoff. Boris Kolev then squeezed from the big blind to 50,000. Stone called before Rocci moved all in for 82,000.

Kolev then went into the tank before moving all in himself for around 150,000 to isolate Rocci's stack. Stone snap-called.

Andrea Rocci: J♠J♣ All in
Boris Kolev: A♥4♥ All in
Jacob Stone: A♠A♦

There was a sweat for Stone on the 10♠2♥7♥ flop but he held across the 10♣ turn and 8♠ river to secure a double knockout.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was caught with 45,000 in the middle and two players looking at a completed board of 9♠Q♣7♠J♣4♣.

Neel Murthy, in the small blind, bet out for 24,000. Maria Konnikova, in early position, responded by moving all in for 405,000, covering Murthy.

Murthy went deep into the tank for several minutes, thinking aloud as he did so.

"I have so many blockers" Murthy claimed, finally deciding to make the call.

Neel Murthy: Q♦10♣ All in
Maria Konnikova: A♣9♣

Konnikova held the nut flush, sending Murthy to the rail.

"Nice check on the turn" Murthy complimented Konnikova as he exited the tournament floor.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up with all in and call announced. Ren Lin was at risk versus the covering stacks of Nicolae Paunescu and Edward Quinn.

Ren Lin: 8♣8♦ All in
Edward Quinn: A♥K♣ All in
Nicolae Paunescu: J♣J♥

Lin was in bad shape and couldn't find an eight on the 7♣6♦Q♥ flop, nor the 3♥ turn. Paunescu was in prime position to scoop a big one before the A♦ hit the river, upgrading Quinn to a pair of aces.

Tyler Foran

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With roughly 90,000 in the middle, the completed board of A♣Q♣9♥8♦A♠ was already on the felt. Teun Mulder was in the big blind and checked to his only opponent in the hand, Jareth East who started the hand under the gun. East jammed, putting Mulder to the test for his 163,000, and Mulder instantly dropped a small stack across the line to make the call.

East tabled A♥8♥ for aces full of eights, but was shown the bad news as Mulder rolled A♦Q♠ for aces full of queens.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three players saw the 9♦7♥5♠ flop and Remy Murcia check-folded in the big blind to a bet of 10,000 from Cherish Andrews, while Moacir Caetano Filho called on the button.

The 2♥ fell on the turn, and Andrews pushed a bet of 40,000 across the line. Filho announced all-in for 187,000 and Andrews snap-called.

Moacir Caetano Filho: Q♣Q♦ All in
Cherish Andrews: 5♣5♦

Andrews was in great shape with a set of fives, but the Q♥ landed on the river, giving Filho the bigger set to stay alive and scoop the massive pot.

Cherish Andrews	465,000 -42,000	-42,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The pot had grown to 68,000 with two players looking at a flop of 5♥9♥10♣.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy, in the small blind, check-called a bet of 16,000 from Teun Mulder, on the button.

The 3♥ turn checked through to the 7♣ on the river. Troyanovskiy checked again and Mulder went into the tank. Mulder moved all in for 125,000, covering Troyanovskiy, and Troyanovskiy snap-called.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: A♥J♠ All in
Teun Mulder: 5♠5♣

Troyanovskiy's ace-high hero-call was mistimed as Mulder's flopped set quickly sent him to the rail.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dara O'Kearney raised to 15,000 from under the gun, an effective all-in with 500 behind the line. Yunsheng Sun three-bet to 36,500 from the small blind and Daniel Guerras cold four-bet jammed for approximately 200,000 from the big blind. Both O'Kearney and Sun called.

Dara O'Kearney: Q♣10♥ All in
Daniel Guerras: A♣K♥ All in

The board ran out Q♦J♥2♦9♣4♠; Sun's queens held to score a double bustout, as he claimed this monster pot alongside two mystery bounties.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was caught as David Dongwoo Ko and Niall Farrell, in middle position and the button respectively, were all in and at risk against Jose Nadal, in the big blind.

David Dongwoo Ko: A♣10♦ All in
Niall Farrell: K♠9♦ All in
Jose Nadal: A♥10♣

The board ran out 5♦2♥3♦A♦3♣; although both Ko and Nadal chopped the pot, only Nadel covered Farrell so he was the beneficiary of the mystery bounty token.

Although leaving in good spirits, Farrell was quick to remark "I hate these tournaments so much," as he left his seat.
