No Cash for Geci

Yori Epskamp

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With the bubble looming, short stack Endrit Geci was all in and at risk against Patrick Naylor and Jesse Rockowitz. There was also a small side pot between Naylor and Rockowitz, but neither active player added more to it during the 9♦7♣3♥4♥10♠ rundown.

Geci showed A♠K♠Q♥J♠ for ace-king, Naylor showed A♣J♥10♥6♣ for a pair of tens, and Rockowitz then revealed K♦K♣J♦7♦ for a pair of kings to take the pot.

Elsewhere, Steven Forman was also eliminated.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Polun Huang opened 28,000 in the hijack, and Tim Grau came along from the big blind.

When the Q♠7♥3♠ flop hit the felt, Grau pushed a stack of reds across the line and Huang called off his remaining 58,000.

Polun Huang: A♥Q♦9♦2♥ All in
Tim Grau: Q♣8♥6♠5♣

Huang was ahead with his top pair ace-kicker, but the 6♥ turn improved Grau to two pair to take the lead and Huang was unable to catch up as the J♣ completed the board on the river.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With the board reading 9♣3♦2♥K♦, Rostyslav Sabishchenko had a bet of 275,000 before him, and Quan Tran was in the tank. The bet was enough to cover his remaining stack, and after careful consideration, he slid in the calling chips.

Quan Tran: A♣10♦9♦3♣ All in
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: K♥6♦5♥4♦

Sabishchenko had top pair, a wrap, and an inferior flush draw against Tran's two pair with the better flush draw. The river 2♠ gave Sabishchenko a higher two pair to eliminate Tran.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Erick Lindgren limped in early position, followed by Daniel Swartz in the cutoff, and Benoit Galland in the small blind before Amnon Filippi checked his option.

All four players checked to the 10♥9♦6♣5♥ turn, where the action checked to Lindgren as he cut out a bet of 30,000. Only Galland made the call.

The J♠ completed the board on the river, and Galland check-folded to a bet of 45,000 from Lindgren.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action started with a raise to 21,000 from Joshua Ladines in early position. It folded around to Aditya Sadhu who three-bet from the small blind to 71,000. Ladines made the call, and they went heads up to a flop.

Sadhu checked over to Ladines on 10♠J♥9♠ who fired out 50,000. Sadhu check-raised all in for his last 180,000 chips. Ladines made the call, covering Sadhu.

Aditya Sadhu: A♠A♣K♣Q♠ All in
Joshua Ladines: K♥10♦10♥8♦

The board ran out 3♣4♠ and Sadhu's straight improved to a flush to win a massive pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aditya Sadhu	590,000 316,000	316,000
Joshua Ladines	140,000 -282,000	-282,000

Lin Misses the Money

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ren Lin started the day as one of the shorter stacks and couldn't turn it into a money finish. Five spots away from the payouts, Lin was holding AxKxQx9x double-suited against an opponent with Qx10x8x8x.

The flop brought an eight to send Lin packing, which has implications for Team NGNF in the 25KFantasy Draft who drafted Lin for a steep $55.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a completed board of 9♥6♥5♣2♦5♥, Eshaan Bhalla checked to Joao Vieira who fired a bet of 120,000. Bhalla responded with a raise to 407,000, putting Vieira in the tank.

After several minutes, Bhalla called the clock. With only five seconds remaining, Vieira announced a call to hear the glorious words, "You're good," as Bhalla tabled A♣10♣9♣6♠.

Vieira took down the pot with a flush as he showed A♥Q♣4♥3♥.
