Mor Gets More After Double Elimination

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Scott Franklin raised to 80,000 from early position and Adam Geyer three-bet all in for 330,000. Ofir Mor was in the big blind and reraised all in as well. Franklin snap-called for his last 630,000.

Scott Franklin: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Adam Geyer: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Ofir Mor: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

It wasn't good for the two at-risk players holding each other's outs, but the {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop gave them gutshot outs and a backdoor flush draw for Geyer. The turn {2-Clubs} and river {10-Spades} didn't help either player and Mor scored the double knockout to moved over three million chips.

Who Won the 888poker "8-Team" World Series of Poker Main Event Competition?

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

888poker ran an "8-Team" competition during this year's World Series of Poker Main Event. Seven professional poker players from seven different countries selected a wingman and an 888poker qualifier to their team. The team that accumulated the most points by going the deepest in the WSOP Main Event won 3 Main Event packages for the 2019 World Series of Poker. Russia's Team Captain Arsenii Karmatckii was the last of the 8-team members to bust the World Series of Poker Main Event in 268th place for $42,980. Was that enough for Russia to win the "8-Team" event?

Kopp Doubles Through Liebeler

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

All the money got in preflop between William Kopp and Eric Liebeler with Kopp at risk with the shorter stack of 745,000.

William Kopp: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Eric Liebeler: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, which put Kopp in a deep hole as he now needed to catch just straight outs or running cards to stay alive, but the turn was the {J-Diamonds} which now improved Liebeler to the straight but gave Kopp a full nine outs to a full house. The river was one of those as the {K-Diamonds} rolled off, pairing the board and earning the double for Kopp, leaving Liebeler with just 675,000 chips.
