Ko Ascending

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Robbie Ko
Robbie Ko

Action was picked up on the flop between Robbie Ko in late position and a player on the button.

The flop came out 3J5 and Ko checked to his opponent who bet 1,100,000 and Ko called before his opponent even finished putting out the bet.

On the 3 turn, Ko checked with a large stack of 100,000 chips in his hand ready to call his opponent who bet out once more to the tune of 1,600,000.

The river peeled off an 8 and Ko immediately moved all in for 6,000,000 which saw his opponent fold. Ko flashed a K as the pot was pushed.

Negreanu Doubles Up In A Flip

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

A player raised to 600,000 on the button and in the small blind, Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 2,375,000. Action folded back to the button who asked for a count and called.

Daniel Negreanu: 55
Opponent: AQ

The first two cards that peeled out on the flop were the 59 followed by a 9 which ended any flush draw sweat that his opponent could have had. The turn 4 left no chance for victory for the button and the J river was a mere formality.

The six time bracelet winner found himself on the right side of a coinflip as the field dwindled down to under 100 players.

Simon's Heater Didn't Last Long

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

A player in early position raised and Mark Simon from the hijack jammed all in for his remaining 1,000,000. The original raiser called.

Mark Simon: AQ
Early Position: 44

The board ran out Q2KA8. Simon's two pair gave him the much-needed double-up.

Unfortunately, as PokerNews was writing the double-up hand Simon approached the payout desk informing us on his way that the very next hand he lost with pocket fours against the pocket jacks of the big blind putting an end to his deep run.

Quintin Falls To Slyvinskyi's Straight Flush

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Bohdan Slyvinksi raised to 600,000 in early position which saw action fold around to Shea Quintin in the hijack who moved all in for 3,700,000 which Slyvinski called.

Shea Quintin: A10
Bohdan Slyvinskyi: 99

The flop of 8104 gave Quintin a pair of tens to pull ahead, but the turn Q left him with no outs to survive and the river J gave Slyvinskyi a straight flush and Quintin exited the tournament.

At another table, Justin Arnwine was eliminated.
