Gavin Cochrane
Gavin Cochrane

Joao "Naza114" Vieira opened the action with a raise to 316,000 in the cutoff and Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane called ;on the button. Jens "Jeans89" Kyllonen "squeezed" in the small blind, making a pot-sized three-bet to 1.405 million. Vieira folded and Cochrane called, taking action heads up to a flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, where Kyllonen made a pot-sized continuation-bet of 3.267 million.

Cochrane clicked the raise button, going all in for 4.048 million and Kyllonen called.

Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Jens "Jeans89" Kyllonen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Cochrane had found himself having run top two pair into top set and was drawing thin to stay alive in the tournament. He was drawing dead by the turn {10-Clubs} before the river {5-Hearts} completed the runout to result in his elimination from the tournament in fifth place. Meanwhile, Kyllonen now finds himself firmly atop the chip counts with four players remaining and a stack of 16.3 million.

Cochrane Awaits Payment

Level 31 : 70,000/140,000, 0 ante
"gavz101"
"gavz101"

Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane was in the cutoff and opened to 367,000. Connor "blanconegro" Drinan called in the small blind and action went heads up to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Drinan checked and then called a continuation-bet of 472,000 from Cochrane to bring the turn {9-Hearts} on board, where both players checked.

The river fell {q-Diamonds} and Drinan checked once more. Cochrane fired out 1.26 million and sent Drinan deep into the tank. He thought for over a minute, and ultimately settled on a call.

Cochrane showed {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for one of the many possible nut Broadway combinations and Drinan mucked, unable to match it. The pot was sent to Cochrane who now finds himself up to 5.83 million.

"blanconegro"
"blanconegro"

Connor "blanconegro" Drinan raised to 311,000 in the hijack and saw action old around to Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane, who defended his big blind. The flop came {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Cochrane checked. Drinan checked back.

The turn was {10-Clubs}. Cochrane checked again and Drinan made a bet of 463,000, which Cochrane called. The river fell {5-Diamonds} and action went check-check to take the hand to showdown.

Cochrane showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top set, but it was no good to the straight of Drinan as he showed {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, making a jack-high straight on the turn that proved good to win him the pot.

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi Eliminated in 6th Place ($82,322)

Level 31 : 70,000/140,000, 0 ante
Talal Shakerchi
Talal Shakerchi

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi made a pot-sized raise of 490,000 under the gun for over two-thirds of his stack and action folded around to Joao "Naza114" Vieira in the big blind, who called. The flop came {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Vieira led out with a bet of 280,000, more than enough to put Shakerchi all in. Shakerchi called all in for 214,000 and both players' hands were tabled.

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Joao "Naza114" Vieira: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}

Vieira flopped a pair of sixes and had pulled out in front. Shakerchi was unable to find any luck on the remainder of the runout as the turn {k-Clubs} and river {9-Clubs} left him unpaired as Vieira improved to nines up and scored his second knockout of the day, sending Shakerchi to the virtual rail in sixth place.
