Seymour Knocked Out by Vitch

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Over on the right hand feature table, Richard Seymour three-bet jammed for around 450,000 out of the blinds and initial raiser Christopher Vitch quickly called with the covering stack.

Richard Seymour: A♥J♥
Christopher Vitch: 6♠6♦

The A♦6♣2♣ flop left Seymour on the ropes but he gained some unlikely outs with the 2♦ turn. However, the miracle escape never happened for the NFL Hall of Fame member and he bowed out inside the top 300 spots.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matthias Auer limped the small blind, and Dean Lyall checked his option.

The dealer spread a flop of J♦10♠5♥, and Auer tossed in one big blind, betting 30,000. Lyall called.

The 7♣ hit the turn, and Auer paused for 30 seconds before firing a bet of 115,000, and that was enough to force Lyall out of the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Nathan Paytas opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Sung Lee three-bet to 185,000 from early position. Oscar Alache put in a four-bet to 315,000 from middle position and Hen Rosilio five-bet all in from the big blind for 940,000, folding out Paytas and Lee. Seemingly knowing what he was up against, Alache sighed and put in the call, putting Rosilio at risk.

Hen Rosilio: A♠A♦
Oscar Alache: K♠K♣

Alache failed to find a king on the 2♠4♣5♣5♠9♥ runout and took a major hit to his stack while Rosilio secured a full double up. Shortly after the hand ran out, Lee told the table that she had folded pocket queens.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Another two-hour session has concluded in the Horseshoe Event Center and the field has been reduced to just 286 hopefuls, all having locked up a payday of $50,900 for their efforts.

Some big names fell and arguably the most notable clash featured the departure of Chance Kornuth in a massive pot against Nicholas Rigby. Furthermore, the deep run of former NFL star Richard Seymour came to an end in a coin flip against Christopher Vitch.

Below are some of the most notable hands of level 22. When the action resumes, the blinds will be 20,000-40,000 with a big blind ante of 40,000.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Toby Lewis raised to 80,000 from the hijack before Clement Richez three-bet to 225,000 in the cutoff. Lewis then moved all in for 1,185,000 and Richez called.

Toby Lewis: A♠K♠
Clement Richez: A♦Q♦

Lewis had Richez dominated and made a flush on the 8♦9♠2♠7♣8♠ board to secure a double up.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

One of the biggest pots has just unfolded on the side feature table when Christopher Vitch was eliminated by Glenn Fishbein, who has become the new chip leader as a result.

On a Q♦6♥2♣5♥ turn, Fishbein's bet was raised to 525,000 by Vitch who then called the shove by Fishbein.

Christopher Vitch: K♠Q♣
Glenn Fishbein: Q♠5♣

The 8♦ river was a blank and the two pair of Fishbein were good enough for the knockout. Vitch was among average heading into the last break but crashed out a few minutes after the action resumed.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Denis Pisarev moved all in for 390,000 from middle position and was called by Luis Dorneles in the big blind.

Denis Pisarev: AxQx
Luis Dorneles: KxJx

Pisarev was ahead with his ace high holding but was left drawing thin following the 4♦2♣K♥ flop. No help came on either the 2♥ turn or 7♥ river to send Pisarev to the rail while adding some more chips to Dorneles' stack.
