Peters Can't Get Anything Going

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded around to Tomas Telek in the small blind who just limped in. David Peters was in the big blind with around 1,500,000 after coming into the day as one of the bigger stacks from the online portion of the event. Peters shoved his stack into the middle and was met with a snap-call from Telek.

David Peters: K♠10♥ All in
Tomas Telek: A♣8♣

Neither player was able to connect on the 5♥3♥2♠J♦5♠ runout and the ace-high from Telek was good enough to send Peters to the rail.

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jeff Platt was standing by the table preparing to interview Jeremy Dan when Dan got involved in a pot with Daniel Kyosev, putting his last 2,200,000 in the middle from the cutoff as Kyosev called in middle position.

Jeremy Dan: 10♣10♥ All in
Daniel Kyosev: A♥K♥

Dan was racing for his tournament life as the flop came J♣10♦2♥, giving him a set and Kyosev a straight draw. The 9♠ turn was safe for Dan, while the river was the J♦ and Dan improved to a full house to secure the double up.

After the hand, Platt asked Dan about sweating out that hand. "The sweat was seeing tens and having you breathing down my neck, but I guess it wasn't. The Jeff Platt curse is over," Dan declared.

Anatoly Filatov shoved for 1,380,000 in the hijack and Alex Foxen made the call from the big blind.

Anatoly Filatov: K♣Q♣ All in
Alex Foxen: A♠10♦

Filatov pulled out his phone to record as the dealer went to the 8♥8♠7♠ flop. "Wrong ones," Filatov said pointing at the spades instead of the clubs. The 10♥ turn and 7♣ river were no help as Filatov headed to the exit and Foxen continued to add to his stack.

Negreanu Loses Flip to Bust Super Main Event: "I Had No Fun Today at Any Point"

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Up at the feature table, a player raised to 240,000 under the gun with the K♦Q♥ and Justin Carey called from the button with the K♥J♥.

Daniel Negreanu then three-bet jammed from the big blind for 1.03 million and the original raiser folded. Carey, who was getting 2:1 on his money, thought for a bit before calling.

“If you have two overs you’re in good shape,” Negreanu shared.

Daniel Negreanu: 10♠10♣ All in
Justin Carey: K♥J♥

“Come on, baby, let me win a flip one time,” Negreanu said hopefully. Unfortunately for him, the proverbial coin didn’t come down in his favor as the 9♠J♦4♦ flop paired Carey’s jack.

However, the Q♣ made things interesting as Negreanu picked up an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately for the GGPoker Ambassador, the 6♣ river was a brick and his Super Main Event came to an end.

“I had no fun today at any point from the start … so tilt,” Negreanu lamented. He finished in 170th place for $67,300.

Vaitiekunas then bet 950,000 and Melogno again called. The river was the 7♥ and Vaitiekunas bet 2,150,000. Melogno then moved all in and Vaitiekunas, with around 2,000,000 remaining, shook his head before throwing his cards into the muck.

Chris Klodnicki raised to 280,000 in the cutoff before Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 800,000 on the button. Klodnicki four-bet to 2,000,000 and Moneymaker called.

Both players checked the K♥Q♦10♠ flop. Klodnicki also checked the Q♥ turn and Moneymaker then bet 1,000,000. Klodnicki quickly called.

Klodnicki once again checked the A♦ river. "This might be the worst board I've seen in my life," Moneymaker said as he checked behind.

"Straight," Klodnicki announced, showing J♠J♥.

"Jacks are good. I should've bet the flop, but I don't think you're folding any street. Very bad river," Moneymaker added.

Aram Sargsyan: A♦J♣ All in
Rainer Kempe: A♣K♦

Level 19 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

With roughly 500,000 in the middle the flop read J♠9♦8♦, and Pieter Aerts checked from the big blind to Alex Foxen in middle position who fired 265,000. Aerts tank-called.

Pieter Aerts: 8♠7♠ All in
