The Next Batch of Casualties in the Money

Christian Zetzsche

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

Table 113 was short-handed as Henry Hull and Fahredin Mustafov hit the rail. One of the bigger stacks before the money, Hull had to settle for a min cash while Bradley Anderson and Brandon Schaefer chipped up significantly. Dimitrios Michailidis and Ben Lamb arrived to balance the field, which has already dipped below 60 hopefuls.

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

Bryce Yockey opened to 110,000 from the button and Andjelko Andrejevic immediately three-bet to 355,000 from the small blind. The action folded back around to Yockey who made the call and the two went to a flop of A♥6♦9♠.

Andrejevic led out for 100,000 and Yockey went deep into the tank as he only had 250,000 left in his stack.

After burning three time banks, he finally decided to let it go and the pot was awarded to Andrejevic.

Jordan Spurlin was eliminated on table 114 when Hani Mio flopped a straight and rivered a full house.

Shortly after, John Hennigan was all-in with the A♣A♠7♠6x and Andriy Lyubovetskiy turned a third club with the Q♣J♣10♦3♦ to reduce the field further.

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

The chips went flying on the K♥J♠6♠7♦ turn when Dylan Weisman ended up all-in and at risk for 1,200,000, and he was looked up by Gregory Nerenberg with the superior stack.

Dylan Weisman: A♣K♠Q♣7♠
Gregory Nerenberg: 8♥5♦4♥3♥

The wrap of Nerenberg missed with the J♣ river completed the board and Firas Kashat then joked to Weisman "you hit the lotto, you know what that means?"

Kashat had even more words to share, this time for table neighbour Nerenberg. "Somebody was gonna get the fish ... you are the fish," he said straight to the face of Kashat.

No reply followed and the next hand unfolded.

Dylan Weisman	2,950,000 1,950,000	1,950,000

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

On a heads-up flop of A♠5♦7♠, Dylan Weisman moved all in to cover the shorter-stacked Daniel Barriocanal.

Barriocanal went into the tank for a bit before he finally moved all in to put himself at risk.

Daniel Barriocanal: A♣J♥10♣7♥
Dylan Weisman: K♦7♦7♣3♥

Barriocanal had flopped top two-pair, but unfortunately for him, Weisman had flopped a set of sevens. The board ran out 10♦9♠ and was no help to Barriocanal and he was sent to the rail while Weisman increased his stack to 3,750,000.

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

Gregory Nerenberg arrived at his new table and didn't unrack his chips yet before he was involved in another all-in showdown.

On a flop of 10♦3♠2♣, Richard Gryko was all-in with the 5♥4♠3♦3♥ for the middle set and a straight draw.

"What you have, a set of treys? Sh*t," Nerenberg said. He then started cheering for spades on the J♠ turn.

"Wouldn't that be bad if I hit spades?" Nerenberg groaned and indeed hit the 5♠ on the river.

While Gryko was on the way out of the tournament area and to the payout desk, Nerenberg added "he is so mad ... what an idiot, middle set."

Also no longer in contention is Christopher Frank, as the field rapidly shrinks after the bubble had burst at the start of this level.

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.

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.

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.
