Gottlieb Out Before the Money; Hunichen Gets a Boost

Calum Grant

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Seth Gottlieb moved all in for 925,000 from the cutoff before Chris Hunichen rejammed for 1,975,000 from the button. Jonathan Jaffe folded in the small blind to put the action on Taylor von Kriegenbergh. He thought over his options before flicking in calling chips.

Seth Gottlieb: A♦7♠ All in
Chris Hunichen: A♠10♥ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♥3♥

The 3♣ was in the window but followed by the 10♠8♦ to keep Hunichen ahead. Gottlieb was in rough shape and was eliminated after the K♥ turn and J♦ river. Hunichen took both the main and side pot for a big boost to his stack.

Calum Grant

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ben Heath jammed for 2,475,000 from hijack and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called off his stack of 2,350,000 from the big blind.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 8♦8♣ All in
Ben Heath: A♠J♠

Vaskaboinikau's pair remained best and he left Heath short after the 7♥9♣3♥5♦10♠ runout.

The following hand, Heath put in his last few chips. Chris Hunichen made it 400,000 from the button and Phil Ivey defended his big blind.

The K♣Q♣9♣ flop checked through to the 5♦ turn. Ivey led out for 300,000 and was called.

Ivey then check-called for 750,000 on the K♥ river.

Hunichen had trips with K♦7♣ but Ivey flopped a straight with Jx10x. Heath's 10♣8♦ went into the muck along with Hunichen's cards, and then he left the feature table.

Negreanu Flushed Away By Gottlieb

Connor Richards

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna opened from under the gun and Seth Gottlieb three-bet to 800,000 from the next seat before Daniel Negreanu four-bet jammed a stack of 2,275,000 from the big blind. Suvarna folded and Gottlieb went in the tank.

"I gotta do some math here," he said. "Alright, I gotta do it."

Daniel Negreanu: J♥J♠ All in
Seth Gottlieb: A♥10♥

Negreanu was in front with jacks but the flop of 8♥Q♠3♥ gave Gottlieb plenty of outs with a flush draw. When the 5♥ then landed on the turn, Negreanu refrained from throwing his selfie stick but did drop it on the table before picking it backing and filming his eulogy as the 3♦ bricked off on the river.

"That's alright. You punted, but you got there!" Negreanu said lightly before once again asking Jeremy Ausmus to sing his pocket jacks song.

"Find it on YouTube," Ausmus said into Negreanu's camera. "Like and subscribe."

Connor Richards

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sam Soverel opened on the button and called off with his stack of around 2,500,000 as Brian Kim three-bet jammed in the small blind with a slightly larger stack.

Sam Soverel: K♠Q♣ All in
Brian Kim: A♥9♥

Soverel took a big lead on the flop of Q♠2♦2♥ and nothing changed on the 8♦ turn. However, the river brought the A♦ to mark Soverel's elimination as the dealer confirmed Kim had him covered.

Jaffe Cracks Aces to Bust Schulman

Calum Grant

Level 16 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Nick Schulman opened to 320,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Jaffe defended his big blind.

Jaffe check-raised to 625,000 over a bet of 240,000 on the J♣10♣6♣ flop. Schulman called.

Jaffe sized up to 750,000 on the K♦ turn, and again, Schulman stuck around.

Jaffe, the bigger stack, jammed on the 10♥ river. Schulman, who had around 2,250,000 behind, used up two of his three time banks before flicking in a one-chip call.

Jaffe tabled K♣Q♣ for a flopped flush, besting Schulman's A♠A♥ to send the latter to the rail.

Connor Richards

Level 15 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened to 270,000 in the hijack and Jeremy Ausmus called in the cutoff before Nick Petrangelo three-bet jammed a stack of 1,930,000 from the small blind. Tollerene called and Ausmus got out of the way.

Nick Petrangelo: 6♦6♥ All in
Ben Tollerene: J♥J♦

Petrangelo had the worse pocket pair and couldn't improve as the board ran out 9♠5♥9♦10♠3♠ to mark his elimination.

Lichtenberger's Rollercoaster Comes to an End

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Adrian Mateos from the cutoff. Matthias Eibinger then moved all in for 2,275,000.

Eibinger covered Lichtenberger, holding around 500,000 more. Lichtenberger called for his tournament life before Mateos folded.

Andrew Lichtenberger: A♠Q♣ All in
Matthias Eibinger: Q♠Q♦

The 6♦5♣5♠ flop was of no help to Lichtenberger, who headed out of the tournament area after the 2♣ turn and 7♣ river sealed his fate.
