Song Bricks Out

Tyler Boyer

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action folded to Stephen Song in the hijack, and he raised all in for 325,000. It then folded to the big blind Roland Rokita who made the call.

Stephen Song: K♣J♠ All in
Roland Rokita: A♠5♣

It was a fair fight but Song would need to improve past the ace high of Rokita to stay in the tournament. The board ran out Q♥7♥10♣6♥7♣ and the ace high of Rokita was still best, giving him the pot and eliminating Song.

On a board reading A♠A♦10♦9♣, Jeffrey Cormier and Sirzat Hissou were heads-up in a pot of around 1,000,000 chips. Cormier led out with a bet of 400,000 and Hissou double-fisted two stacks of chips into the middle, which was met with a snap-call from Cormier for his stack of 1,160,000.

Jeffrey Cormier: 10♥10♣ All in
Sirzat Hissou: A♥9♠

Cormier flopped a full house but Hissou turned a bigger one, leaving Cormier drawing to just a single out. The river was the 6♥ and Cormier was left shaking his head while Hissou has now taken over the chip lead.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind Ivan Emanuely who moved all in for his stack of 515,000, and the big blind Cole Keenan made the call to put him at risk.

Ivan Emanuely: Q♠10♦ All in
Cole Keenan: K♠9♥

Keenan was ahead with his king-high, and after the J♠6♥9♣ flop, Keenan improved to a pair of nines, but the flop gave Emanuely an open-ended straight draw, along with his two overcards as outs. But the board ran out 5♦ on the turn, and 7♥ on the river, and the pair of nines of Keenan were good enough to take the pot and knock out Emanuely.
