Jukich Doubles Through Habib

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Mike Jukich
Mike Jukich

Mike Jukich shoved all in for 1,380,000 in the cutoff. Ubaid Habib looked at his cards in the small blind and then confidently announced a call. The big blind mucked. Jukich was dominated with {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop switched up Jukich's outs and he called for a jack-ball. One arrived: {j-Spades}.

"Easy," he said.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Jukich doubled.

Cada Shoves On Drokin

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

On the button, Joe Cada opened with a raise to 220,000. Volodymyr Drokin called in the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Drokin checked to Cada who put out a bet of 250,000. Drokin called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Drokin decided to lead out, making it 340,000. Cada raised, making it 1,180,000. Drokin thought for quite some time, then called.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and Drokin checked. Cada moved all in for about 2,870,000 effective, what was left of Drokin's stack. Drokin tanked for over five minutes but eventually he settled on a fold. Cada raked in the pot to move over seven million chips with no showdown.

Le Takes from Fletcher; Lynskey From Hutter

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot over on Table 447, Clayton Fletcher in the big blind check-called a bet of almost one million by Nghia Le with the completed board showing {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Le rolled over the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} and Fletcher mucked, then laughed and said, "Well, I can't put you on that."

Alex Lynskey defended his big blind and invested 675,000 on the {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Spades} turn against Barry Hutter. Both then opted to check the {K-Spades} on the river and Lynskey turned over {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair, which was good enough to claim the pot and further build his stack.

Gerrits Holds For a Big Double Versus Pollak

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Ivan Luca opened the action with a raise to 230,000 from early position and saw Martijn Gerrits three-bet in the next seat to 700,000. Benjamin Pollak was next to act and thought for a couple of minutes before he cold four-bet to 1.35 million. The action folded back around to Luca, and he quickly folded, which meant Gerrits had a big decision to make.

Gerrits gave himself a minute to think before he moved all in for 2.74M and Pollak called.

Martijn Gerrits: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Benjamin Pollak: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Board: {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was a classic race, and although Gerrits held his lead on the flop, Pollak had hit the nut flush draw. It was to be a tense few moments for Gerrits, but he came through with the full double after the board bricked for last year's Main Event bronze medalist Pollak.

Xi Doubles Through Cordell

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

After an early open to 225,000 and a button call, Ming Xi shoved for 1.3 million in the small blind. Mike Cordell reshipped in the big for about 5.7 million and that cleared out the other two players.

Mike Cordell: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Ming Xi: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop pulled Cordell into the lead but it was all over when the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn.

"Lucky!" Xi called to his rail. "Lucky!"

The meaningless river was a {10-Hearts}.

Mach Shoves on Loosli

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

On an {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board, Sylvain Loosli checked from the big blind to Jan Mach, who bet 1,075,000 in middle position. Loosli took his time before calling.

The river was the {4-Spades} and Loosli checked. Mach shoved all in for 2,570,000 and Loosli spent three minutes in the tank before mucking.

Queens Bring Lady Luck for Minkin

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

Kelly Minkin moved all in for 1.5 million from middle position and saw Mark Zullo reshove for 4.3 million from the cutoff. The rest of the players at the table got out the way, and Minkin saw she was in bad shape.

Kelly Minkin: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Mark Zullo: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Board: {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades}

Minkin, the last remaining woman in the Main Event, spiked a queen on the flop to take the lead, and her rail cheered in the ESPN Main Stage arena. The turn didn't help Zullo, and the river queen of spades only increased Minkin's hand to trips and secured her a lifeline.
