Holskyi Does it Again

Tyler Foran

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Nicholas Seward shoved all in on the button and Konstantyn Holskyi called off his 4,600,000 in the small blind before Akinobu Maeda mucked his hand.

Konstantyn Holskyi: A♠J♦ All in
Nicholas Seward: 10♠9♦

The 7♥5♥3♦ flop missed both players as Holskyi still had the best hand with ace-high. The 4♦ turn and the 4♠ river meant Holskyi found another double as he threw up his arms to flex.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Sitting on the button, Nicholas Seward raised to 1,600,000, and with just 2,500,000 left, Konstantyn Holskyi went all in. Seward called after Akinobu Maeda folded in the big blind.

Konstantyn Holskyi: A♥5♥ All in
Nicholas Seward: 10♠6♣

Holskyi hit a pair of fives on the 5♦J♥4♠ flop, leaving Seward needing a ten or six to eliminate him. However, the 9♠ turn and the A♦ river favored Holskyi, giving him another double-up.

Nicholas Seward opened 12,250,000 on the button and David Coleman called off his 12,950,000 from the small blind.

David Coleman: 7♠7♦ All in
Nicholas Seward: K♠5♣

Coleman was in great shape until the K♦J♦5♦ flop hit the felt, giving Seward two pair. Coleman still had a flush draw to go with a seven but he was unable to improve as the board completed with the 10♠ turn and the 6♣ river.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Nicholas Seward, in the small blind, went all in after everyone else folded, prompting David Coleman to snap call upon seeing his hand.

Nicholas Seward: J♥10♦ All in
David Coleman: A♠Q♣

The flop 5♦8♠K♣ didn't change Seward's situation, who was at risk. However, the river J♦ paired Seward's jack, moving him closer to a double-up.

The 2♥ on the river confirmed Seward's double-up.

Akinobu Maeda moved all in on the button and Nicholas Seward called off his 4,025,000 from the big blind.

Nicholas Seward: J♠10♣ All in
Akinobu Maeda: 9♣6♠

Seward had the lead with jack-high and the A♣10♦7♦ flop extended the lead with a pair of tens. Maeda had a gutshot straight draw but the 2♣ turn and the 5♠ river were bricks as Seward took his seat to collect the double.

The flop 3♥8♠2♦ came out cleanly for Coleman, and the turn 6♣ sealed the elimination for Angelou.
