Fewer Than 100 Players Remain

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The clocks dipped to just 99 players remaining and responsible for the latest elimination was Isaac Haxton. He grinned while saying "I played that hand great" when his 9♦9♠7♠7♦ flopped middle set on a board of K♥9♥4♠6♠10♥ to knock out his direct table neighbour.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was opened to 25,000 in middle position by Bradley Kil. It then folded to Joseph Liberta in the small blind who called. Isaac Kempton was in the big blind and announced "pot" to 100,000. Kil called and action was back on Liberta.

Liberta went into the tank for a moment before putting in the back four-bet to 400,000. Kempton called off for about 225,000 and Kil got out of the way.

Isaac Kempton: A♠K♦Q♥10♠
Joseph Liberta: A♦A♣K♣7♦

The full board ran out Q♠2♥3♥7♠3♠ giving Kempton a flush on the river and keeping his tournament alive.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dylan Weisman limped in and so did the cutoff. Jonathan Azoulay then raised the pot on the button only for Weisman to repot for 230,000 total. That got rid of the limper but Azoulay stuck around.

On a flop of 9♥7♠3♣, Weisman jammed for the last 76,000 and Azoulay called.

Dylan Weisman: K♦K♥6♥5♥
Jonathan Azoulay: A♦8♣6♣4♦

Azoulay's wrap made a pair on the A♣ turn but Weisman spiked a straight thanks to the 8♦ river.

Smith Chipping Up

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a heads-up river of 2♥6♥8♦J♦A♣, there was around 250,000 in the pot when Ky Nguyen checked over to his opponent Dylan Smith, who then set out a bet of 175,000.

Nguyen then went into the tank for a good while, using two of his time banks to debate this decision.

Before he used his third, Nguyen made the call but was then shown A♠J♥8♥3♦ by Smith for top two-pair and Nguyen mucked his hand.

Two hands later, Michael Russo opened to 27,000 and Smith three-bet to 94,000 and action folded back around to Russo who made the call.

Russo checked the flop of 3♥Q♥A♠ and Smith continued for 100,000. Russo went into the tank before making the call to see the 9♦ on the turn.

Russo checked once more and Smith announced pot for 417,000 and Russo shook his head and hastily mucked.
