Upeshka De Silva

Charania Calls Wong on the River

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

On Table 7, the board showed {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Danny Wong bet 2,400 into the pot that was around 3,500. Mohsin Charania thought for a few moments before making the call and Wong tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for a pair of kings with an ace kicker. Charania then flipped over {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair and enough to take down the pot.

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Natasha Mercier
Natasha Mercier

On Table 10, Jacob Baumgartner raised to 300 from the under-the-gun position and was only called by Natasha Mercier in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Mercier checked. Baumgartner bet 400, Mercier raised to 1,200, then Baumgartner reraised to 4,000. Mercier shoved and Baumgartner snap-called with the slightly bigger stack.

Natasha Mercier: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Jacob Baumgartner: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Mercier was hoping for another club for her flush to complete as Baumgartner had flopped a set of treys. The rest of the board was completed with the {A-Spades} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river to take Mercier out of the shootout.

Shortly after, on the same table, Joe Cada eliminated Brandon Butler from the tournament.
