Trofimov Gets Lucky

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dragos Trofimov
Dragos Trofimov

Jeff Gross opened to 100,000 in early position and Dragos Trofimov moved all in for 825,000 in middle position. Siddharth Mundada was sat on his left and he went all in for 1,000,000. Back on Gross and he told Mundada that he would fold as he thought he had two queens. Gross wasn't too far off when the cards were turned over.

Dragos Trofimov: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Siddharth Mundada: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Trofimov was looking for an ace and there was one in the window on the {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop. With no case king on the {5-Clubs} turn or {4-Spades} river, the pot was Trofimov's. Relieved, the Moldovan said "phew, that was a big one!" as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cajelais and Russell Ousted by Anderson

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Erik Cajelais
Erik Cajelais

Three players were all in preflop. Erik Cajelais was down to fumes and had got it in, as had Kyle Anderson and Matt Russell.

Kyle Anderson: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Matt Russell: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Erik Cajelais: {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

It was a cooler for Matt Rusell, who'd run a very premium hand into Anderson's aces and when the completed {3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board was out, it was a double knockout scored for Anderson, who is on the rise.

Aiken checked the {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Cohen continued for 80,000 and Aiken came along. The dealer spread the {3-Spades} turn, and after Aiken checked again Cohen moved all in, which got a check-fold from Aiken.

With the bustouts still rolling in and expensive blinds, there has been a lot of change in the counts. It has been a great day so far for Maxwell Young and Jonathan Tamayo who are both chipped up right now.
