Good Energy For Everyone

Claudio Elizalde

Level 19 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

According to Wesley Fei, it's all about skill AND energy. Earlier at the final table he went all in from early position off a decent stack and when everyone folded he showed Q♣10♦ and Pete Chen laughed out lout, to which Fei said, "I've bluffed in a $3,000,000 pot, this is nothing!". Chen, perhaps humbled, couldn't help but agree.

His most recent all in was called by Brady Hinnegan and Pete Chen, all Fei could do was remind them about the energy.

Brady Hinnegan: A♣K♠
Wesley Fei: 9♠10♠
Pete Chen: K♠K♥

Always a sweat, the dealer presented Q♦7♦10♦, despite no one having a diamond, everyone was still live to scoop.

The turn brought the 4♦ and all the players were up on their feet sweating the river when it rolled off the 2♦ making it a decidedly chopped pot.

"Energy! Skill is a scam!", exclaimed Fei as he gave his rail high fives and took a picture.

Level 18 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Wasserson lost the bulk of his chips with A♠9♥ when he called the all in of Dong Meng, who held 10♦9♠. Meng flopped a ten and when the turn and river bricked, he doubled through Wasserson.

The very next hand, Wasserson was in the small blind and when it folded to him, he decided to go all in blind, as he was only left with a few hundred thousand in chips. Kevin Eyster made the call in the big.

Eric Wasserson: 9♥4♦
Kevin Eyster: A♦5♦

The flop rolled out A♥Q♥Q♦, which was bad news for Wasserson. When the turn peeled the 6♥ Wasserson was left with no outs as the useless 8♣ rolled off on the river.

Kevin Eyster	6,200,000 700,000	700,000

Dong Meng	2,600,000 1,250,000	1,250,000

Super Pro Triples Up

Level 18 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Brady Hinnegan open-shoved from under the gun for around 1,000,000 and action folded around to the resident Super Pro, Wesley Fei, who moved all in for less.

Then big stack Dong Meng made the call to put them at risk and the cards were tabled.

Wesley Fei: A♦A♥
Brady Hinnegan: A♠Q♣
Dong Meng: A♣K♣

"Yes!! I Did it! Super pro! All skill!" Fei jumped up and shouted as the dealer set up the cards.

The flop came out 6♣5♠4♦ and Eric Wasserson began calling for a seven as a potential back door chop. And just like that, the 7♦ peeled off on the turn to give all the players an open-ended straight to chop it all.

"Queen river!" Hinnegan shouted, and the dealer must have have been a really good listener as the Q♣ smacked on the river for Hinnegan to stay alive by winning the side pot while Fei got the lion's share of the pot for 2,000,000.

"Well done Wesley, I would have played it the same way," Wasserson joked, which got a round of laughs from the table.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Wesley Fei raised to 200,000 and was called by Kevin Eyster in the big blind. Heads up, they saw the 4♣A♦10♦ and Fei sized down to 150,000. Eyster made the call.

The turn brought the 10♣ and both players checked. The river peeled the J♦ and Eyster led for 450,000. Fei made the call. Eyster showed the Q♥10♥ for turned trips and Fei tossed his hand into the muck.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After Kevin Eyster opened to 160,000, Drew Gonzalez moved all in for 650,000. The action folded back around to Eyster who thought for a second before making the call to put him at risk.

Drew Gonzalez: J♥J♦
Kevin Eyster: A♥6♥

Gonzalez was a favorite to double up in this spot, but the flop of 2♦A♠5♣ provided Eyster with an ace to take the lead.

The runout of 4♣3♥ gave both players a straight on the river, and the table thought they chopped it, but Eyster held the six for the bigger straight to take the pot, eliminating Gonzalez in 8th place.
