Zegal Building a Stack

Nick Becker

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Rayan Chamas raised to 70,000 under the gun, Stanislav Zegal flatted on the button, and Tony Parker defended in the big blind.

The flop came 2♥9♣9♦, Parker checked, Chamas bet 80,000, Zegal called, and Parker folded.

The 7♦ turn went check-check, bringing the J♠ river. Chamas led out with a bet of 120,000 and Zegal bumped it up to 425,000.

Chamas took some time to think through his decision before ultimately giving up his hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stanislav Zegal	4,050,000 2,790,000	2,790,000

Rayan Chamas	1,725,000 295,000	295,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dumitru Pora opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from middle position, before Pavel Ignatov three-bet all in for his stack of 90,000. It folded back to Pora who made the call to put Ignatov at risk.

Pavel Ignatov: A♦2♠ All in
Dumitru Pora: K♦10♦

Ignatov was ahead with his ace-high, and once the board ran out 4♦J♣7♣3♠J♥ the ace high of Ignatov was still best, giving him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dumitru Pora	775,000 775,000	775,000
Pavel Ignatov	255,000 -1,100,000	-1,100,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matthew Wantman opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Kristen Foxen defended from the big blind. The flop fell J♦3♣2♥ and Foxen check-called a bet of 50,000 from Wantman.

The J♥ paired the board on the turn and Foxen checked again. Wantman splashed in a bet of 135,000 and Foxen check-raised to 300,000. Wantman called and the 7♠ landed on the river. Both players tapped the table and Foxen revealed Q♦2♦ for two pair but Wantman rivered a bigger two pair with 8♥7♥.

"I should've raised on the flop," Foxen said in hindsight.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Daegeon Shon opened to 65,000 in early position and Chris Brewer flat-called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of 9♠8♦6♣ and Shon check-called a bet of 65,000 from Brewer.

The 6♥ paired the board on the turn and Shon checked again. Brewer sized up a bet of 180,000 and Shon quickly called to see the 10♣ on the river.

Shon checked for the third time and Brewer reached back for a bet of 475,000. Shon snap-called and Brewer tabled 5♣3♣, playing the board, while Shon held K♠K♣ for an overpair.

"Scary board," Liv Boeree said with a smile.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe raised to 65,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Arthur Conan in the hijack, he three-bet to 175,000. It folded back to Jaffe who made the call.

The flop came A♣6♠Q♣ and both players checked to the Q♥ on the turn. Conan then called a bet of 85,000 from Jaffe.

After the 5♣ on the river, Jaffe bet out 325,000, before Conan moved all in for 645,000. Jaffe then sat in the tank, using multiple time banks, before tossing in the chips to make the call.

Jaffe turned over 6♥6♣ for a full house, sixes full of queens, but Conan had the winner with A♠A♥ for a bigger full house, aces full of queens, to secure the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jonathan Jaffe	4,300,000 -340,000	-340,000
Arthur Conan	1,535,000 1,095,000	1,095,000

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Just a couple hands after sitting down with a fresh stack, Jamie Gold moved all in from middle position and was called by Juan Pardo on the button who had the covering stack.

Jamie Gold: 10♣10♥ All in
Juan Pardo: A♣K♥

Pardo pulled ahead on the 6♣8♥K♠ flop, pairing his king. The 8♣ turn and A♦ river offered no help to Gold, and the 2006 WSOP Main Event winner was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Juan Pardo	4,475,000 -1,350,000	-1,350,000

Tyler Cornell raised it up in middle position and Mario Mosboeck called from the big blind. The flop came A♥J♣7♦ and Cornell continued with a bet of 30,000. Mosboeck check-raised to 115,000 and Cornell just called.

The turn was the Q♣ and Mosboeck jammed all in for 310,000. Cornell snapped him off and tabled 7♥7♣ for a set. Mosboeck showed 10♦8♣ for a two-way straight draw and the K♠ on the river completed that straight for a double up.

Level 13 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dong Chen and Alejandro Lococo got involved in one of the largest pots of the tournament thus far with roughly 800,000 in the middle and the board reading K♠K♥4♣3♠.

Chen led out with a bet of 525,000 in the small blind on the turn. Lococo called from the hijack and the 7♣ completed the board. Chen counted out another bet of 1,125,000 and Lococo moved all in for 2,735,000.

Chen asked for a count and burned through all of his time banks before the clock eventually ran out. Chen flashed the K♦ before his cards went into the muck. Lococo responded by showing A♠8♠ for a missed flush draw and raked in a monster pot.
