Coleman Busts Shebat With Kings Versus Kings

Brandon Bloom

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Samuel Laskowitz opened to 3,000 from middle position, Joyace Owens flatted the cutoff, and Chris Shebat jammed for 17,500 on the button. David Coleman called in the small blind and everyone else folded.

Chris Shebat: K♠K♦
David Coleman: K♥K♣

A chop was likely with all of the kings accounted for, but the 8♣7♣6♣ flop gave Coleman a freeroll. The 10♣ hit the felt on the turn to leave Shebat with a single out for the chop, but the Q♣ completed the board to eliminate him on the unfortunate runout.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The board read 7♠9♦Q♥J♣, and Byung Shin had checked in the big blind. Yu-Chieh Cheng shoved from under the gun for Shin to make the call with the bigger stack after considering it for a bit.

Yu-Chieh Cheng: 10♥10♦
Byung Shin: A♣Q♣

The river completed the board with the 2♥ for Shin to hold with the flopped pair of queens.

"Scared of jacks, huh?" Giuseppe Pantaleo remarked after Cheng had left the table.

"That was the first thing I thought, but then it didn't make sense," Shin responded before discussing the hand further, with some other table mates chiming in too.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kitty Kuo raised to 4,500 from the cutoff and Landon Tice made the call from the button. Anthony Zinno three-bet to 21,000 from the small blind for Nick Schulman in the big blind and Kuo to fold while Tice made the call.

The flop came 7♥2♠6♥ for Zinno to shove for 60,000 and for Tice to snap-call with the bigger stack.

Anthony Zinno: A♣J♣
Landon Tice: A♥A♦

The rest of the board was completed with the J♦ on the turn and the 6♦ on the river for Zinno to hit a pair on the turn but to not get any further help to bust in the penultimate level of the day.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Peter Hengsakul was all-in from middle position with a shorter stack, Michael Rossitto was all-in from the big blind with a larger stack, and both players were at risk against David Dongwoo Ko in the hijack.

Peter Hengsakul: J♠8♠
Michael Rossitto: A♣Q♥
David Dongwoo Ko: Q♠Q♣

The board ran out 9♠6♦4♣3♣2♦ and the ladies held to add to Ko's huge stack, while Rossitto and Hengsakul were eliminated.
