Lamb and Zack Tangle Near the Bubble

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The two big stacks, Daniel Zack and Ben Lamb, just played out a pot in which both invested 145,000 on the 10♦9♣2♣ flop. There was no further action on the 8♥ turn and Q♥ river after which Zack flashed his Q♠Q♣ for a set of queens.

Lamb had that beat with the A♦10♥7♦6♠ for a ten-high straight and won the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The cards hit their backs.

Quan Zhou: K♣Q♦10♦4♣

Zhou was leading with two pair, tens and fours, while Smith had a pair of aces with a flush draw.

The 9♣ turn gave Zhou a flush draw as well and the 2♣ river would give him the winning flush to send Smith to the rail in 70th place.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

More than one and a half dozen hands are concluded on the soft and stone-cold money bubble with just one elimination as there are 69 remaining.

The action runs very slow and no further all-in showdown has taken place yet.

In the latest hand, Mads Amot bet the Q♦10♦7♠3♣A♥ river for 60,000 and Yuri Dzivielevski then raised the pot to 370,000 in the cutoff. Amot gave it some thought and folded the J♦J♠ face-up.

"I bluffed the bluff," Dzivielevski replied with a smirk and raked in the chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mads Amot	1,800,000 1,070,000	1,070,000
Yuri Dzivielevski	1,015,000 215,000	215,000

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Philip Wiszowaty opened preflop and short-stacked Eugene Lee moved all in. The action folded back around to Wiszowaty who made the call to put Lee at risk on the stone bubble.

When all of the hands were finished the cards were then tabled.

Eugene Lee: A♣J♦10♠9♠
Philip Wiszowaty: Q♦10♣5♥3♠

The much-anticipated board ran out J♣6♣4♠9♣A♦ for Lee to win with aces and fives to survive with a double.

"Yeah! F*ck all of y'all!!" Lee shouted and laughed as he gave all of the onlookers the two-finger salute.

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

In the first hand of the new level, Quan Zhou raised to 65,000 in the hijack. Danny Hannawa jammed for 210,000 in the cutoff and Zhou called after brief consideration as both players already revealed their cards, then turned them over again until all other tables were completed.

Danny Hannawa: Q♦Q♣8♣8♠
Quan Zhou: 9♥5♦3♥2♥

The K♠J♣3♣ flop gave Hannawa a flush draw while Zhou had the bottom pair. Two black cards followed with the 9♠ turn and 2♠ river to give Zhou two pair and let the bubble burst.

Quan Zhou	3,025,000 1,175,000	1,175,000

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

Gregory Nerenberg and Firas Kashat apparently agreed to a deal that both take sips from their beverages at the same time and they were also involved in a three-way single-raised pot with Dylan Weisman. They checked all the way to the Q♠10♦5♦Q♣6♣ river with Weisman checking first.

"I win," Weisman declared and Nerenberg inquired "how do you know?"

Weisman revealed the K♣10♠10♥Xx for tens full of queens and that was indeed a winner.

Gregory Nerenberg	2,800,000 200,000	200,000
