Jared Bleznick Eliminated in 11th Place ($93,730)

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dean Lyall raised his button to 260,000. Shaun Deeb folded the button, but Jared Bleznick jammed all in for 2,625,000 from the big blind. Lyall made a quick call, and Bleznick slammed the table in reaction.

Jared Bleznick: A♣4♥ All in
Dean Lyall: 9♠9♦

The J♣Q♦2♣Q♠ runout brought some counterfeit outs for Bleznick's three-bet shove, but it was not to be as the K♣ river saw Lyall's nines hold.

After carefully counting the chips, it was determined that Lyall covered Bleznick by a few big blinds. Bleznick said his goodbyes to the table as the ten remaining players were on the bubble of the unofficial final table.

Roberto Perez: A♠Q♥

Ben Heath raised to 255,000 from under the gun, and was three-bet by Jared Bleznick on the button, to 750,000. The action folded back to Heath, who made a small four-bet to 1,245,000.

Bleznick went deep into the tank, spending two time banks before eventually mucking his cards and surrendering the pot to Heath.

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Noel Rodriguez opened the action with a raise to 260,000 from under the gun, receiving calls from Samuel Laskowitz in the hijack and Shaun Deeb in the small blind.

On the 4♣4♥3♣ flop, Deeb and Rodriguez checked to Laskowitz, who bet 275,000. Only Deeb opted to call.

The 8♥ on the turn prompted a check-call from Deeb for 1,125,000.

Both players then checked through the 3♥ river, leading to a showdown. Deeb revealed a full house with 8♦8♣, perhaps anticipating another sizable bet from Laskowitz on the river.

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded to David Stamm in the small blind, who made a raise to 260,000 chips. Yingui Li called in the big blind and a flop of 9♠7♠8♠ was spread.

Li continued for 150,000 chips and Stamm check-called, after which the J♦ turn appeared on the felt. Stamm checked to his opponent once more, and he made a bet of 550,000.

Stamm spent one time extension before releasing his cards, after which Li showed the 10♠, much to the amusement of the table.

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

David Stamm raised to 240,000 from the hijack and both Nick Schulman on the button and Roberto Perez in the big blind made the call.

They all checked through the 3♦9♠7♣ on the flop to the 6♣ on the turn—Perez bet 180,00 for Stamm to fold but for Schulman to come along.

The river completed the board with the 4♣ and Perez continued with a bet of 180,000. Schulman called to see Perez show the K♥J♣ for king-high. Schulman quickly flipped over his 4♠4♦ for the rivered set to claim the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 240,000 in the cutoff before Samuel Laskowitz defended his big blind. Laskowitz then checked to Deeb on the 10♠3♣4♥ flop, after which the latter put out a continuation-bet of 205,000.

Laskowitz tanked for a little while before sliding in a raise to 700,000, and Deeb made the call.

The 4♦ turn and 6♥ river were then checked through. Laskowitz tabled K♦J♠ for king-high, while Deeb had the best hand with A♥3♠ for flopped bottom pair.

Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In the very first hand after the break, Andrew Ostapchenko pushed all in with his last 940,000 chips, and Yingui Li made the call.

Andrew Ostapchenko: A♦4♦ All in
Yingui Li: J♥10♠

Li picked up outs along the way, with the 9♥5♥7♠ flop and the K♥ turn, but the river was one of his original outs, the 10♦. That dashed Ostapchenko's hopes as it gave Li a pair of tens, sending him packing.
