Tyler Foran

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Smiljkovic opened 50,000 in the hijack, and Gregory Jensen three-bet 200,000 from the small blind. Smiljkovic called.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♣8♥4♠, and Jensen continued for 200,000, which was enough for Smiljkovic to surrender the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Everyone folded to Matthias Eibinger in the small blind, who decided to limp. In the big blind, Jeremy Ausmus checked his option, and both of them discovered the flop 9♦J♦2♦.

Eibinger checked at this point and then called Ausmus's bet of 30,000. On the turn K♠, he check-called a second barrel of 105,000.

The 9♠ came on the river, and Eibinger checked for the third time. Ausmus fired out a bet of 345,000, which was almost his entire stack as he only kept a single red chip worth 5,000.

Eibinger used a time bank to make his decision. And after a minute, he called. Ausmus showed 6♦3♦ for a flush hit on the flop. Eibinger mucked his cards and let Ausmus double up.

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

With about 500,000 in the middle on the 9♠6♦2♠6♠ turn, Fedor Holz checked to Alejandro Lococo who used a time bank before betting 125,000. Holz made the call.

The 2♦ completed the board on the river, and Holz checked to Lococo as he tossed three time bank chips into the middle. After about a minute, Locooco pushed forward a bet of 560,000. Holz went into the tank, this time he was the one to throw in a time bank chip. Eventually, Holz mucked his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Lococo.

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

Justin Saliba opened from early position and was called by Henrik Hecklen in the small blind and Johannes Straver in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♠K♥6♣, and Saliba made a continuation bet of 55,000. But Hecklen raised to 170,000.

On his left, Straver wasn't done yet and he prepared a three-bet to 300,000. But Saliba didn't back down, and decided to four-bet to 430,000.

Clearly unhappy, Hecklen folded. But it wasn't Straver's option as he moved all-in for 1,100,000 chips. Saliba took a few seconds to think about it and called.

Johannes Straver: 8♣8♦
Justin Saliba: 6♠6♦

Both players hit a set on the flop, but Straver had the better one. The 7♣ and the Q♣ didn't change anything, and Straver doubled up.

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

Andrew Lichtenberger limped the small blind before Scott Seiver put in a raise to 125,000. Lichtenberger made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥J♠2♦. and Lichtenberger check-called a bet of 60,000.

The 8♦ fell on the turn, and once checked to, Seiver fired another bullet of 225,000. Lichtenberger called once again.

When the 7♦ completed the board, Lichtenberger checked, and Seiver took the full 30 seconds before deciding to check back. Lichenberger tabled J♥10♣ for a pair of jacks but it was no good as Seiver showed A♠Q♦.

Heimiller Dusts as He Loses Flip

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dan Heimiller was seen in the tank as he already had 245,000 across the line and was faced with an all-in jam from Stanley Tang for 860,000. Heimiller had 790,000 total and tanked for his entire allotted time bank before saying, "I think you have ace-king, I call."

Dan Heimiller: 10♥10♦
Stanely Tang: A♣K♠

Heimiller was correct but the A♥9♠7♠ flop paired Tang's ace as Heimiller let out a quiet "F*Ck."

The 7♦ turn and 5♦ river were no help as Heimiller exited the tournament.
