Aguero Benched

Ollie Garland

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After being left short by Bill Klein earlier in the level, Sergio Aguero's deep run came to an end.

As recounted by his former table, Aguero found himself all in and at risk for his last 6,000 chips, finding two callers.

Sergio Aguero: 5x5x
Opponent 1: Ax10x
Thien Chung WU: Qx10x

The pocket fives of Aguero couldn't hold as the board had Thien Chung WU's hand improve to a full house by the river.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Randy Ohel called a late position player's raise of 7,000 from the button. Nstantin Iftimia Marius-Co, the big blind, moved all in for 155,000. Ohel called, and the cards were turned over.

Nstantin Iftimia Marius-Co: A♦Q♣
Randy Ohel: 9♦9♠

The monotone K♠3♠4♠ flop most benefitted Ohel, who was the only one holding a spade. The flush completed on the 2♠ turn, and Marius-Co exited the tournament after the meaningless K♣ river.

"Good game," Ohel told Marius-Co.

Andy Frankenberger, also at the table, joined Ohel to provide analysis to PokerNews after the hand.

"I think it threw him off when I asked for a count," said Ohel. "I told him 'I called with a good hand. I wish it was a really good hand.'"

"His opponent said 'I also have a good hand,'" added Frankenberger. "I think Randy read into that. I figured he was begging for a call with ace-king."

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Peppin opened 7,000 in the cutoff and Rene Majed made the call.

The 10♦3♥2♠ flop hit the felt, and Peppin continued for 12,000. Majed put in a raise to 30,000 and Peppin paused for a moment before three-betting to 70,000. Majed called.

The 4♠ hit the turn, and Peppin fired another bet of 65,000. Majed stuck around, tossing in a call.

When the A♦ fell on the river, Peppin fired once more, this time for 75,000. Majed wasted no time making the call to see the K♣K♠ of Peppin before opening 3♣3♠ for a flopped set of threes.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was joined on the turn, with the board showing J♠4♠Q♥9♣ and over 100,000 already in the pot. Yuri Dzievelevski, the big blind, bet 62,000. Danny Pyke made the call from the button.

The A♠ hit the river. Dzievelevski bet four red chips, 20,000. Pyke took a few moments before announcing that he was all in. Dzievelevski began to think. He asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed the all-in bet to be 154,000. Dzievelevski continued to shuffle his chips as he considered whether or not to call. He looked at his cards once more, but did not make a decision. After several minutes, the clock was called. Before a tournament official could arrive, Dzievelevski announced the call.

Pyke turned over 2♠2♦ and held only a pair of twos. Dzievelevski showed Q♦J♦ for two pair to score the knockout and add a huge amount to his stack.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 6,000 and received a call from Farah Galfond on the button.

Both players checked the J♠6♥2♣ flop, leading to the Q♥ turn. The cutoff checked and Galfond bet 13,000 to force a fold from her opponent.

The next hand at the same table saw a player from middle position open to 5,500. Galfond called from the cutoff and another player called from the button.

All three players checked the 6♦2♣7♠ flop, which led to the 3♥ turn. The original raiser checked, Galfond bet 15,000, the button called and the original raiser from middle position opted to fold.

Both players checked the 7♥ river. Galfond tabled 3♦3♣ for a full house and her opponent quickly mucked his cards.

The next hand saw a player from middle position open to 5,500 and receive calls from Galfond on the hijack and a player in the big blind.

Action checked around to Galfond who bet 5,500 on the 7♣3♣2♣ flop. The original raiser folded and the hijack made the call.

Both players checked through the 4♥ turn and A♦ river.

Galfond tabled 5♥5♦ for the winner to take down her third consecutive pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Uri Reichenstein and Vitor De Souza Coutinho saw a flop of 6♠4♠3♥ with already around 70,000 in the middle and Matthew Silva all in from the big blind.

Coutinho led out for 37,000 from the small blind and Reichenstein called. The turn came the A♥ and Coutinho then checked over to Reichenstein, who fired out 32,000.

Coutinho took his time before he called as the J♣ fell on the river. He checked again and Reichenstein bet enough to put him all in.

Coutinho tanked for a few minutes before calling off his last 80,000 with K♥K♦. Reichenstein, though, had 6♣6♦ for the flopped set. Silva showed A♣Q♠ and asked to take a picture of the board before joining Coutinho on the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ren Lin eagerly got the attention of PokerNews to recount a hand in which one of his own bluffs backfired.

Juan Maceiras Lapido raised under the gun to 5,000, Ren Lin three-bet from the cutoff to 15,000 and Lapido called.

On a flop of 4♦6♦10♠, Lapido check-raised a bet of 13,000 from Lin to 36,000. Lin called.

The turned A♣ checked through to the 10♥ on the river. Lapido bet out for 60,000, then Lin raised to 120,000. Lapido made the call.

Ren Lin: 9♣8♣
Juan Maceiras Lapido: K♦Q♦

Lapido called down the river raise with just king-high and was correct in doing so. After recounting the hand to PokerNews, Lin was so impressed at the call he asked another player at the table to take a photo of both himself and Lapido together.

Juan Maceiras	482,000 110,000	110,000
