Blankenship Triples With Bullets

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After a preflop betting bonanza, Sam Blankenship got it all in against two other players, with him as the shortest stack.

Sam Blankenship: AAAll in
Player 1: JJAll in
Player 2: 33

Blankenship was very much a favorite going into this hand, and the runout of 97876 kept it that way to secure the main pot for the triple up while Player 1 took the side pot.

Yu Preserves His Stack

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A player opened to 18,000 in the small blind and Ben Yu three-bet to 50,000 in the big blind. His opponent responded by moving all in with the covering stack. Yu went into the tank as he considered a decision for a huge pot on the soft bubble of the tournament. Eventually, and with visible reluctance, he mucked his holding to preserve his stack a few spots away from the money.

Batey Triples Up and Secures Bounty

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gabi Livshitz kicked off the action with a raise to 14,000 from early position. Another player went all in for 52,000, and Andrew Batey also went all in from the big blind for 67,000. Livshitz asked the dealer for a count but ultimately decided to call both all-ins.

Livshitz revealed 99, Batey showed QQ, and the third player had J10. The board ran out 842810, eliminating the third player and allowing Batey to secure a triple up and a bounty.

Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Peiwen Wang opened to 12,000 from late position and then called after Ryan Riess moved his short stack into the middle on the button.

Ryan Riess: KJ All in
Peiwen Wang: KQ

Riess was in rough shape but picked up a flush draw on the 794 flop. The 4 turn and 3 river bricked out, however, to send the former main event champion out of the tournament short of the money.

Teusl Turns Boat to Double

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jessica Teusl
Jessica Teusl

After a player opened, Jessica Teusl three-bet to 40,000 and the player called to see a flop of Q27.

Teusl continued for 27,000, her opponent shoved to cover, and Teusl snap-called to put herself at risk.

Jessica Teusl: QQAll in
Opponent: A8

Teusl was well in the lead with her top set of queens, but she still had to fade the spade draw to stay alive. Fortunately for her, the 2 peeled off on the turn to give her a full house, locking up the hand. The board completed with the 8 and Teusl was pushed the substantial pot.
