Eveslage Gets the Knockout and the Double

Jeremy Geist

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sean Winter opened the action to 85,000 from under the gun off a short stack. It folded to Joao Vieira in the small blind who reraised pot to 285,000. Next to act was Chad Eveslage who also announced "pot" and put in the remaining 695,000 in his stack. Winter and Vieira both called. The players were off to a full board.

Sean Winter: K♦Q♦Q♠9♠
Chad Eveslage: A♠A♦3♦2♠
Joao Vieira: K♥K♣5♠5♥

The full board would run out 9♦7♥A♣Q♥J♣ giving Eveslage top set, Winter middle set, and Vieira just a pair of kings. Winter hit the rail, Vieira's stack was punished, and Eveslage got over a pure double and a very healthy stack going into the final levels of the day.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After some preflop betting, Ben Lamb and Espen Myrmo managed to get all of the chips into the middle, with Myrmo at risk of elimination.

Espen Myrmo: A♦9♦9♣8♣
Ben Lamb: A♠Q♥J♠4♥

"Well you're ahead right now," Lamb told Myrmo as the cards were tabled.

Unfortunately for Myrmo, the board ran out 2♠3♣6♣5♦3♠ which gave Lamb a wheel straight with his ace-four and Myrmo was eliminated.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The all-in showdowns keep coming at a rapid pace and the latest to fall was Kane Kalas. He got it in with the K♣K♠Q♠7♣ and Bradley Kil looked him up with the A♥J♥8♦2♦. An ace on the flop was followed by another thereafter and that spelled the end for Kalas.

Also no longer in contention is Brandon Adams, who had been nursing a shorter stack for a while.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A raising war broke out on the K♦Q♠10♥ flop and Hani Mio declared "okay, I call" for the 700,000 he had behind when Andriy Lyubovetskiy had applied pressure with the bigger stack.

Hani Mio: K♥J♦10♣5♣
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: A♠A♣J♣4♦

Mio was up against broadway and needed a king or ten to avoid the elimination. Nothing changed with the 3♦ turn and Mio initially celebrated on the J♠ river before he realized that his exit in 49th place was sealed.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 3♥3♠6♠ Chance Kornuth led out for 165,000 from the big blind and Andriy Lyubovetskiy called from the button to see the 10♣ on the turn.

Kornuth continued for another 265,000 and Lyubovetskiy thought about it for a few seconds before he slid out the proper calling chips.

On the river 9♥, Kornuth fired again for 330,000 and Lyubovetskiy quickly slid his cards into the muck.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

David Eldridge got it in preflop for around 365,000 and was up against Mads Amot as a small rail gathered behind them.

David Eldridge: A♦Q♣Q♥7♦
Mads Amot:A♠A♣7♠4♥

The board ran out A♥Q♠3♠J♥10♦ and the set of aces knocked out Eldridge. Robert Cowen and Ky Nguyen followed to the payout desk and there are now fewer than 50 players still in contention.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ben Lamb raised and was called by Brandon Schaefer. Paul Volpe then jammed his last 175,000 and Lamb came along while Schaefer folded.

Paul Volpe: A♣A♥K♣8♠
Ben Lamb: K♥Q♣J♦10♠

The A♠10♣4♠5♥5♦ board was a tease for Lamb but Volpe doubled with aces full.

"I rather you have aces than him ... unless I beat him," Lamb said and glanced at Schaefer who has a big stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ben Lamb	3,150,000 100,000	100,000

Vieira Hits Winter with a Cold Deck

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After significant action before the flop Joao Vieire checked to Sean Winter on the button with over 1,000,000 already in the pot looking at a board of 4♥9♠7♣. Winter didn't take long before raising pot and putting Vieira all in.

Vieira went into the tank for over a minute with his tournament on the line. Eventually he stuck in the chips and the cards hit their backs.

Joao Vieira: A♠Q♠Q♦10♦
Sean Winter: A♦A♣K♠6♣

Winter was in great shape to score the knockout. The turn brought a 6♦ keeping winter in the lead but the Q♥ river would give Vieira top set and get him a much needed double just after the bubble burst.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joao Vieira	1,875,000 1,175,000	1,175,000

Sean Winter	250,000 -700,000	-700,000
