Iermolcheva Takes a Pot

Andrew Knowles

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Olga Iermolcheva opened to 125,000 from under the gun and only the player in the cutoff made the call.

The flop came A♠6♦2♠ and Iermolcheva continued for 60,000, which her opponent called. On the A♥ turn both players slowed down with a check to the 3♣ river.

Iermolcheva tossed out a bet of 100,000 and the hijack quickly let their cards go.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The under-the-gun player raised 125,000 and a player called in the middle before Michael 'Old Man Coffee' Jutte called on the button.

When the 9♥7♣5♣ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Jutte and he put out a bet of 125,000.

Both players quickly folded and Jutte said, "I should have never played this hand, I am that bored," while tabling 8♦6♦ for a straight on the flop.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Bruno Hernandez and his opponent were heads up to a flop of 4♠J♠10♠ and the latter had only left themselves one chip behind. Hernandez put his opponent all in and cards were on their back.

Bruno Hernandez: A♣K♠
Opponent: Q♣Q♦

Hernandez declared he needed a spade, but an ace, a king, or queen would also pull him ahead. The turn changed nothing with the 6♦ but the river completed the board with the 3♠, awarding the pot to Hernandez.

Hernandez was feeling good and settled in by extending his massage another thirty minutes.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Steven Chung raised under the gun to 130,000 and Garrett Fleetwood came along in the big blind.

When the 8♥6♥3♥ flop hit the board, Fleetwood check-called a bet of 2,000,000.

The A♠ turn was checked through to the 10♠ river and Fleetwood led out for 300,000. Chung wasted little time tossing his cards into the muck.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and it was Jonathan Butters at risk for 655,000 against Evan Rupley.

Jonathan Butters: Q♥Q♦
Evan Rupley: A♣K♠

It was a classic race as the board ran out 8♣6♥3♠K♥J♥, for Butters to make a pair of kings for the double-up.

"At least I'm still in!" exclaimed Rupley, seeing the positive side as he paid off the bet.

Andrew Knowles

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Manish Madan opened to 180,000 from early position and it folded to a player in middle position who moved all in for close to 1,400,000. The player in the small blind called for their stack of close to 1,000,000 and Madan also called for his last 795,000 total.

Manish Madan: A♥A♠
Small Blind: Q♠Q♦
Middle Position: K♠K♥

It was the ultimate cooler for both of Madan's opponents, and when the board ran out 10♥8♠4♦6♦7♥, it was the aces for Madan that held up to score a full triple up to over two million.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jared Powell jammed for 1,045,000 on the button and Shawn Gill made the call in the small blind. The big blind folded and Powell let out a sigh as both hands were tossed on their backs.

Jared Powell: K♦J♥
Shawn Gill: 7♦7♥

It was a classic coinflip, and the flop gave Powell some extra outs as it came A♦Q♣3♣, picking up a gutshot straight draw.

The A♣ turn was no help though, and the 7♣ river improved Gill to a full house as Powell waited for a payout slip.

Ortega Makes a Huge Call

Claudio Elizalde

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jacques Ortega raised in early position to 240,000 and was called by Brian Stanley, of Arkansas.

The flop rolled 9♣5♥10♥ and Stanley checked. Ortega bet 200,000 and Stanley made the call.

The turn peeled the Q♦ and Stanley checked again and faced a bet of 700,000. In response, Stanley went all in for his remaining chips, which amounted to around 2,000,000.

Ortega spent a good chunk of time piecing it all together but eventually declared a call.

Brian Stanley: J♣10♣
Jacques Ortega: J♥J♦

They both had the same straight draw, but Ortega's pair of jacks dominated Stanley's pair of tens. The river bricked and a very friendly Stanley wished his opponent good luck and congratulated Ortega on the call.

When PokerNews asked about his plans moving forward, Stanley said he'd be going on a nice dinner with his wife. He also made a point of saying what a great time he had and that this was only his third tournament ever.
