Hastings Wins on River

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Brian Hastings was on the button and opened to 35,000. He received a call from Andrey Zaichenko, defending his big blind, and the two saw a flop of {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Zaichenko check-called a continuation-bet of 35,000 from Brian Hastings and both players checked the {7-Spades} turn.

The river came {8-Hearts} and Zaichenko checked again. Hastings fired 156,000, a pot-sized bet, and Zaichenko went into the tank for around 90 seconds before mucking his hand.

No Money for Zhukov; Play Now Hand-for-Hand

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

The second to last player to leave without any money in Event #65: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship was Viacheslav Zhukov. Zhukov was all in against Chris Vitch for a little under 200,000.

Viacheslav Zhukov: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Chris Vitch: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The board was {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Vitch's aces remained way ahead of Zhukov's ace-king to end the latter's attempt in 31st place. Play is now hand-for-hand on the money bubble.

Vengrin Forces Fold, Keeps Chipping Up

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Matt Vengrin was recently seen having chipped up to over 600,000. In a recent hand, he was on the button and opened to 50,000. Bryce Yockey defended his big blind and the flop came {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Yockey led out for 40,000 and Vengrin called.

The turn came {9-Clubs} and Yockey checked. Vengrin cut out a bet of 60,000 into four stacks of three orange chips worth 5,000 each. By the time the fourth stack was cut, Yockey was in the process of mucking and Vengrin took down the pot as hand-for-hand play on the bubble continues slowly but surely.

Chabra Chipping Up

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Action has still slowed down to a crawl and big pots are far in between. A small one was played on table #410, where Ajay Chabra bet 50,000 on a {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} river.

Timothy Flanders pondered for a while before sliding in a call but had to muck when Chabra showed him {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a flush.

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Bryce Yockey

Andrey Zaichenko opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from middle position. Bryce Yockey was in the small blind and three-bet him to 112,000. With the hands on all three other tables finished, the spotlight was on Zaichenko momentarily as he thought about his decision for around a minute.

Eventually, he let his hand go and Yockey took down the pot as the tournament director instructed the dealers to deal another hand.
