O'Neill Turns a Knockout

Ryan Gray

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jack O'Neill had raised to 10,000 from middle position when an early position player reraised to 38,000 all in. O'Neill considered the all in while other players at his table goaded him. He found the call, and saw that he was behind.

Early Position: A♦Q♦
Jack O'Neill: A♠J♠

The 8♣Q♣10♠ flop gave the early position player top pair, but also gave O'Neill plenty of opportunities to turn the tables. One of them hit immediately on the turn, K♠, and the early position player rationalized as he stood up, "It's okay. I wanted you to call." A 2♦ river made the bust out official.

"Call this one 'O'Neill Gets It in Bad and Gets Lucky'," suggested another player to a round of laughs.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Somerville and Diego Ventura built a pot of around 70,000 heading to the turn on a board of K♠3♠4♣2♥ when Somerville, in early position, bet 30,000.

Ventura, to his direct left, then moved all in and Somerville snap-called for around 30,000 more. Ventura showed A♠A♣, but Somerville had outflopped him with K♦K♣ for top set.

The 3♣ fell on the river and Somerville secured the double up while leaving Ventura on a short stack.

A huge pot of 135,000 was already in the middle when the action was caught on a completed board of 8♦9♣K♦5♥10♣. Jules Dickerson was sitting in the big blind and went all-in for an overbet against Lawrence Chang on the button. Chang played 171,000 back and was facing a decision for his tournament life.

He mulled it over for a bit but eventually opted to let it go, shipping a massive pot Dickerson's way.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Philip Chun raised to 4,000 and got called by Alfonso Timoteo on the button and the small blind.

The flop showed 2♥4♠7♣ and the trio checked to see a 4♣ on the turn. The small blind checked to Chun who bet 6,000, only called by Timoteo.

The river was the 10♠ and Chun bet 12,000. Timoteo replied with a raise to 38,000 and Chun went deep into the tank.

"You show it if I show my hand?" asked Chun before tanking two more minutes, and eventually folding.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gabriel Andrade had just won a pot with a pre-flop shove before moving all in again the next hand, this time for around 40,000. Action folded around to Shota Nakanishi in the big blind and he snap-called.

Gabriel Andrade: 7♠7♣
Shota Nakanishi: Q♠Q♦

Andrade needed help to survive but none arrived on the 2♦3♥K♥4♣4♥ board as his chips were absorbed into Nakanishi's massive stack.

"Lucky," Nakanishi said as he climbed up to 600,000.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

6-time WSOP bracelet winner Brian Hastings raised to 7,000 in the small blind and in the big blind, young gun Michael Jozoff called.

The flop rolled out J♣9♠Q♠ and Hastings continued for 10,000 which Jozoff called.

On the 10♥ turn, Hastings bet again, this time to the tune of 12,000 and Jozoff called once more.

The river peeled off a 7♠ and Hastings moved all in for 81,200 effective and Jozoff went into the tank.

"In theory I need to call," Jozoff lamented "but I do not want to."

After some more time passed, he tossed his hand into the muck and Hastings took down the pot.

"I'm not busting the main event," Jozoff stated "not like that."
