O'Dea Chips Up on Short-Stacked Table; Whiteman Out

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Miller raised to 2,200 from the hijack and Eoghan O'Dea called on the button. Mikiya Kudo also came along in the big blind and the three saw a flop of A♥J♦5♠.

Kudo checked to Miller, who bet 3,000 chips. O'Dea called before Kudo folded. The 7♣ turn then checked through, after which O'Dea bet 6,500 on the 3♠ river.

Miller quickly check-folded as O'Dea received some chips on a table where the majority of players was below the starting stack.

On another table, Biran Whiteman's Main Event run ended.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Jamin Thomas had his opponent at risk for 9,800 and both hands were on the backs.

Opponent: A♣9♣ All in
Jamin Thomas: K♣Q♠

Thomas smashed the K♠10♠9♠ flop, making top pair and a straight flush draw. The J♠ turn improved him to a straight flush to send his opponent to the rail, and the 4♦ river was just a formality.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Following a raise to 2,500 and two callers, Muskan Sethi pushed all-in for her last 11,500 in the big blind. The initial raiser called but Brian Morgan then went all-in over the top to isolate successfully.

Muskan Sethi: A♠K♠ All in
Brian Morgan: A♦A♣

"Don't think I can fold this time," Morgan had mentioned right before the cards were isolated and Sethi caught no miracle on the 9♦5♦4♣10♦8♥ runout to bow out in the second level of the day.

Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Kabbaj opened to 2,300 from early position and was called by Faraz Jaka in the cutoff and the player in the big blind.

Action checked to Jaka on the J♦5♥A♦ flop and he bet 2,500. Only Kabbaj called.

The 5♠ fell on the turn and Kabbaj again checked to Jaka, who sized up for a bet of 6,000. This time Kabbaj let his hand go and Jaka added to his stack.

Meanwhile, Lindsey Kludt, Julien Martini, and Dominik Nitsche were all eliminated at other tables.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing K♣5♦2♣5♠ with roughly 26,800 in the pot.

Dylan Lemery bet 7,500 from early position, and Erik Seidel in the cutoff made the call.

After the 7♦ river, Lemery over bet the pot for 55,000. Seidel thought over his decision but decided to make the call.

Lemery tabled K♠K♥ for a full house, kings full of fives. Seidel patted the table and threw his cards in the muck.

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Margarita Stoycheva had three-bet Ethan Bennett's open preflop, with the latter calling. Bennett then checked on the 10♠Q♠2♦ flop, after which Stoycheva added 3,000 chips to the 13,500 pot.

Bennett put in a big raise to 25,500. Stoycheva took some time before announcing her all-in, covering Bennett's remaining stack of 55,500.

Bennett quickly let his hand go and left himself with half a starting stack.
