Wang Shoves Out Lipauka

David Salituro

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

Yang Wang raised to 550,000 in middle position and Vadzim Lipauka three-bet to 1,800,000 in the cutoff. Wang called and they went heads-up to the K♥8♠4♦ flop.

Lipauka then continued for 1,050,000 and Wang called. The turn was the 6♠ and Lipauka bet another 3,000,000.

Wang used a time bank before announcing all in and Lipauka, who had around 3,500,000 remaining, quickly folded.

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

Sirzat Hissou opened in the hijack and only Troy Quenneville came along from the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦3♦2♠, and Quenneville check-called a bet of 500,000.

Both players checked on the K♦ turn and the 5♦ river. Quenneville tabled A♣K♠ for top two, and Hissou rolled A♠A♥ for top set.

"Wow, I'm glad I didn't three-bet!" Quenneville noted as Hissou pulled in the pot.

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

Christian Rudolph opened to 500,000 from under the gun and Paulius Vaitiekunas three-bet to 2,425,000 from the small blind, leaving just a single big blind behind. Rudolph reraised and Vaitiekunas quickly called it off.

Paulius Vaitiekunas: Q♥Q♦ All in
Christian Rudolph: A♠J♦

The flop came K♠J♥3♦ to give Rudolph a pair of jacks but Vaitiekunas was still out front with his pair of queens. However, the J♠ on the turn improved Rudolph to trips and Vaitiekunas was eliminated on the 4♥ river.

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

Three-handed on a flop of K♣Q♣10♣, Chris Klodnicki bet 600,000 from under the gun and Zhewen Hu moved all in for 1,975,000 on the button. Justin Carey called in the big blind, while Klodnicki also called.

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.

Two players saw the K♠6♦2♥9♣ turn and Rodrigo Selouan led for 850,000 into the pot of about 3,400,000. Matthias Eibinger went into the tank, using exactly 29 seconds before sliding a raise of 5,000,000 across the line. Selouan took a few moments before deciding not to put his tournament life on the life.

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.
