Mitich Gone

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jacob Mitich came into the day with a healthy stack but that had been dwindled down to under 100,000 after the dinner break. Action folded to him on the button and he moved all in for his last 84,000. The small blind got out of the way but the big blind made the call with the covering stack.

Jacob Mitich: AQ
Big Blind Player: KK

Mitich had run right into his opponent's cowboys to leave himself drawing thin. No help came on the 7108 flop or the 10 turn. The 4 river completed the board, confirming Mitich's exit late on Day 3.

Garcia Takes Down Four-Bet Pot

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Garcia opened 11,000 under the gun, and the button called before Khamsy Bowles three-bet 36,000 in the big blind. Garcia put in the four-bet to 92,000, forcing the button out immediately. Bowles took about 45 seconds and made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of A44, and Bowles check-folded to a continuation bet of 49,000.

Brewer Approaching a Milly After Busting Szerszen

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Brewer and Czeslaw Szerszen saw a flop of 642 when Szerszen bet 50,000. Brewer then raised enough to put Szerszen all in for around 60,000 more, and Szerszen tossed in a call.

Czeslaw Szerszen: 77
Chris Brewer: 1010

Szerszen was already standing up from his seat and heading for the exit by the time the dealer turned over the Q turn and 4 river, sealing his elimination as Brewer moved on the cusp of 1,000,000.

Wu Doubles Through McNicholas

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After some preflop back-and-forth, Feifan Wu moved all in and Eaun McNicholas made the call to put him at risk.

Feifan Wu: A5
Eaun McNicholas: JJ

Wu needed some help to stay alive in this hand, and he sure got it on the flop of 2A8 to put him in the lead with his pair of aces. The turn 5 further improved him to two-pair and the river Q secured his victory for the double-up.

Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius

Patrik Antonius opened to 11,000 from middle position and received calls from Punnat Punsri in the cutoff and a player on the button.

The flop came 54J and Antonius made a continuation bet of 15,000, getting a call from Punsri while folding out the player on the button.

Antonius fired a second barrel for 75,000 on the 2 turn. Punsri made the call.

On the 8 river Antonius bet a third time for 70,000. Punsri responded by sliding a stack of green 25,000 chips forward, putting Antonius all in for his remaning 225,000.

Antonius went deep into the tank, drawing a crowd of spectators as the minutes passed by. After considering his options for just over 13 full minutes, Antonius sent his cards into the muck and Punsri collected a massive pot without showdown.
