Team Unlucky: Moneymaker Goes Runner-Runner to Bust Glantz

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Connor Richards

Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened to 600,000 in middle position and Matt Glantz three-bet jammed a stack of 1,950,000 from the small blind. Moneymaker called.

Matt Glantz: 10♦10♥ All in
Chris Moneymaker: 9♦8♦

Glantz was in great shape with an overpair to Moneymaker's undercards, but the flop of 7♦9♥3♣ gave Moneymaker some hope. The 6♥ turn gave Moneymaker an open-ended straight draw and the 10♣ river gave Glantz a meaningless set as Moneymaker made the straight.

Glantz is a member of Team Lucky, pulled a million-dollar bounty at the 2022 WSOP and finished fourth in last year's Paradise Main Event for $685,000. Unfortunately, his luck has run out in the Super Main Event.

Carey and Klodnicki checked down the 10♠ turn and 5♣ river. Hu turned over A♠A♦, but Carey showed 7♣4♣ for a flopped flush. Klodnicki tossed K♠Q♠ into the muck while Carey scooped the pot to send Hu to the rail.

Level 22 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

A completed board of 9♣8♠6♦5♠10♥ was spread across the felt in what turned out to be a massive hand between Stephen Chidwick and Troy Quenneville. Chidwick had the Q♣Q♦ face up in front of him while Quenneville held K♠K♣ and the best hand.

It was unsure as to when all of the chips got in the middle, but the stacks were counted and Chidwick was deemed to be the player at risk for around 12,500,000. Quenneville collected the chips and joined the leaders near the top of the leaderboard.

Level 22 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Lewis Spencer raised to 500,000 on the button and Matas Cimbolas three-bet to 1,350,000 in the small blind. Spencer then moved all in for 3,800,000 and Cimbolas snap-called.

Lewis Spencer: A♥K♥ All in
Matas Cimbolas: Q♠Q♥

"Wow, standard. Who's going to win six million? Whoever wins this is going to win the tournament," Cimbolas said, as the flop came Q♦5♥5♦, giving him a full house.

Spencer was already up from his seat and heading for the exit, but had to be called back once the A♣ fell on the turn to give him some outs. The river was the 7♦ and Cimbolas took the pot to send Spencer walking back to the payout desk.

"Did I really say whoever wins this pot is going to win the tournament?" Cimbolas asked after the hand.

"You're 50-50 to win it now," tablemate Chris Klodnicki added.

Level 22 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Lou Garza opened 550,000 in early position and Lewis Spencer defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣4♠2♠, and Spencer check-called a bet of 600,000.

The 5♣ fell on the turn and Spencer check-called another bet of 1,600,000.

When the Q♣ completed the board on the river, Spencer checked for a final time and Garza announced all in. Spencer splashed a pile of time chips into the middle as he went into the tank.

After using four time bank cards, he decided to save his stack and pitched his cards into the middle.

Garza reacted by windmilling his A♥9♣ face up into the center of the table as he pulled in the pot.

Also building a massive stack at the same table is Sebastian Toro with 29,000,000.

The K♠8♦7♦10♣ turn was on the felt and Ermo Kosk checked it over to Chris Moneymaker who fired 2,400,000 into the pot of over 4,000,000. Kosk check-raised all in, putting Moneymaker to the test for his 9,700,000. Moneymaker made the call.

Chris Moneymaker: K♦9♦ All in
Ermo Kosk: K♥10♥
