Paytas Scores Double Up; Akanuma Hits The Rail

Andrew Knowles

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action was picked up when all the chips were in the middle preflop between Yuichi Akanuma and Nathan Paytas, who was the player at risk for his last 1,380,000.

Nathan Paytas: 8♥8♠
Yuichi Akanuma: A♦K♠

It was a coin-flip preflop, but when then board ran out Q♠J♣3♣2♣7♠, it was the eights that held up for Paytas to score the double up and leave Akanuma short.

On the next hand, Akanuma shoved for 705,000 in early position and it folded to Logan Hoover on the button who made it 1,600,000 to go. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were shown.

Yuichi Akanuma: A♦9♥
Logan Hoover: A♥K♦

Akanuma was in rough shape and in need of some help to stay alive. The board ran out K♣J♥10♠6♥3♥, and the ace-king for Hoover held up to send Akanuma to the exit.

Pierpaola Lamanna opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and called when Charlie Chiu jammed for 2,510,000 from the small blind.

Charlie Chiu: K♦10♦
Pierpaola Lamanna: 10♠10♣

Chiu had just three immediate outs and failed to find a king on the 9♣4♠2♠ flop. The Q♦ turn gave Chiu a gutshot but the Q♥ river confirmed his departure.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Patrick Tardif was all in and at risk for 2,200,000 against fellow Ontario resident Pavel Dyachenko.

Patrick Tardif: Q♠Q♣
Pavel Dyachenko: A♠K♣

The flop landed Q♦10♠3♣ to improve Tardif to a set but to give Dyachenko hope with a Broadway draw. That hope was crushed as the Q♥ peeled off on the turn to give Tardif quads and the 7♣ river changed nothing to earn him a double.

"At least if you win, it will bring people to Ontario," Dyachenko said optimistically.

Player	Chips	Progress
Patrick Tardif	4,400,000 2,360,000	2,360,000

Pavel Dyachenko	3,900,000 -2,175,000	-2,175,000

Anirban Das opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and was called by Daniel Scroggins on the button. Clemen Deng then three-bet to 720,000 out of the big blind, forcing a fold from Das but getting called by Scroggins.

Deng continued for 350,000 on the 3♦K♦Q♣ flop and Scroggins just called.

The J♠ hit the felt on the turn, prompting Deng to check to Scroggins, who fired off 1,050,000. After considerable thought, Deng waved the white flag to put a significant dent in his stack.
