Hunichen Folds Kings, Probes For Information

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Hunichen
Chris Hunichen

Chris Hunichen bet 9,500 on the {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} turn with about 11,000 in the middle. He was met with a raise to 22,000 by Masoud Jafari and went into the tank.

"Will you show me if I show you," asked Hunichen.

Jafari shook his head and Hunichen folded {k-}{k-} face up.

" I made a bad fold," asked Hunichen?

"Lucky," said Jafari. "Flush draw."

"You couldn't have had a flush draw," said Hunichen. "You would have to be suicidal to bluff me, I don't think you're suicidal."

"I told you," said Jafari. "Flush draw."

Kim Flushes Bracy and Hou

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Soo Jo Kim
Soo Jo Kim

Jorge Hou open-jammed for 10,700 from early position and Soo Jo Kim called from the cutoff before Tony Bracy squeezed for his last 29,000.

Kim hesitated before tossing his chips in for the call and all three players tabled their hands.

Jorge Hou: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Tony Bracy: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Soo Jo Kim: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Kim didn't like seeing that he was dominated by both opponents holding the same hand but the {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} runout gave him the nut flush and he scored the double elimination.

Wilke Rivers a Royal to Eliminate Randall

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dennis Wilke
Dennis Wilke

Dennis Wilke moved all-in on a board of {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and was snap-called by Amon Randall.

The hands were tabled and it was the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} held by Wilke that needed help against the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a flopped full house held by Randall.

The river card was the {a-Clubs} and completed the extremely rare royal flush for Wilke, which eliminated an understandably stunned Randall from the Main Event.

Kelly Rivers Quads Against Nut Flush

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Steve Kelly
Steve Kelly

After a couple limps and then a couple raises preflop, Steven Kelly and an opponent saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} and there was a bet and a call.

The {k-Clubs} came on the turn. The rest of Kelly's chips went into the pot and he was at risk against his opponent.

Steven Kelly: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Kelly had flopped a set but was behind the nut flush of his opponent. He was looking for the board to pair and the {5-Spades} spiked the river to give him quads as the case five completed the board and kept him alive with a healthy stack.

Seven-High No Good as Kade Busts

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Vanessa Kade
Vanessa Kade

Vanessa Kade was in the big blind and threw out two green 25,000 chips, announcing herself all in on the river with {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} showing. Jorge Ribeiro on the button went into the tank for several minutes before the clock was called.

Just as the tournament floor was about to reach zero, Ribeiro put in the chips to call. Kade turned over {7-Hearts}{4-Spades} for seven high, while Ribeiro had {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The stacks were counted down and Ribeiro's remaining 86,000 had Kade covered as she made her exit.

Richard Seymour, three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and 131st-place finisher in the 2019 Main Event, just registered for the tournament and took his seat at this table.
