Jesse Lonis Eliminated on the Stone Bubble

Brett Slezak

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened to 70,000 on the button, Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 280,000 from the big blind Lonis jammed for around 800,000, and Petrangelo snapped it off.

Jesse Lonis: A♠J♣ All in
Nick Petrangelo: A♦Q♦

Lonis was in deep trouble until the K♣J♥6♣ flop vaulted him into the lead. However, the 10♦ turn gave Petrangelo broadway and left Lonis drawing to a chop which didn't come on the K♥ river as he hit the rail on the stone bubble.

The remaining players are guaranteed €119,800.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Morten Klein limped from the small blind. Jesse Lonis asked how much Klein had behind and shoved from the big blind, which was enough to put Klein all-in for 500,000 total. Klein snap-called and hands were revealed.

Morten Klein: A♦A♣ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♥7♠

It was the best possible situation for Klein, but the A♠6♠J♠ flop gave him a real sweat against Lonis' flush draw.

The 2♥ turn changed nothing and the 2♠ river gave Lonis a flush while also improving Klein to a full house for the double up.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened the button to 75,000 and then called after Sean Winter jammed 260,000 from the big blind.

Sean Winter: A♠4♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: 6♥6♣

The board ran out 7♣4♥2♥9♠7♠ as Winter paired his four but it was not enough against the sixes of Lonis which held to eliminate Winter two spots from the money.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Vladimir Korzinin opened from middle position and was called by Leonard Maue in the big blind.

The flop came 3♥J♣10♠ and Maue checked to Korzinin, who shoved for a bit over 200,000. Maue snap-called and a showdown was held.

Vladimir Korzinin: AxQx All in
Leonard Maue: J♥10♦

Korzinin found himself drawing thin against Maue's flopped two pair, and the 2♥3♦ runout provided no help to Korzinin to make him the second casualty of the final table.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sean Winter opened the hijack to 50,000 before Patrik Antonius jammed for 329,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Steve O'Dwyer rejammed while Winter got out of the way.

Patrik Antonius: J♦10♦ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♥A♣

Antonius ran into a monster hand but the A♠K♠2♥ gave Antonius broadway outs. The 3♥ turn was no help but the Q♣ peeled off on the river in dramatic fashion to save Antonius as he found the full double.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened to 60,000 from middle position and found one caller in Patrick Antonius in the big blind.

Antonius checked to Lonis, who continued for 43,000 on the 6♥K♠5♦ flop. Antonius check-raised to 125,000 and, undeterred, Lonis clicked it back for a re-raise to 187,000.

Antonius laid his hand down after a bit of thought and Lonis revealed K♥Q♥ before collecting the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was called by Leonard Maue in the cutoff and Vladimir Korzinin in the big blind.

Korzinin checked to Lonis, who bet 43,000 on the 3♣8♠2♥ flop. Only Maue called.

The A♦ fell on the turn and it was again checked to Lonis, who fired a bit over 100,000 into the middle. This time Maue let his hand go and Lonis took down the pot.
