Another Main Event Champion Falls

Calum Grant

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

On the side feature table, Joe Cada moved all in for 11,100 from early position and was at risk to Eliran Pilo, who was on the button.

Joe Cada: 4♦4♣ All in
Eliran Pilo: K♥K♠

The A♦K♦5♣ flop saw Pilo make a set to leave Cada drawing thin. The 8♦ turn gave Cada some hope with a flush draw but the 2♠ river was a brick and Cada exited on Day 2d.

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

Around 30,000 was in the pot as Elliot Smith and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 4♦2♥6♠7♠.

The cutoff then bet 20,000 before Smith, in early position, moved all in for 75,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision.

Smith spent the time kneeling on the ground as his opponent continued to tank. The cutoff eventually apologized to the table and slid his cards back to the dealer as Smith took down the pot.

Chris Hunichen and Daniel Lowery were recently eliminated from this section.

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

In a five-way pot, action on the 9♣6♣4♠ flop was checked through before Rahul Deevara bet 4,300 from the cutoff on the 3♥ turn.

Abdullah Al-Shanti then raised to 11,000 on the button as the table folded fold to Deevara, who moved all in for 38,000. Al-Shanti called with 7♣5♠ for a turned straight, while Deevara had 6♠6♥ for a set.

Deevara needed to fill up on the river to survive, and the dealer flipped over the 3♣ to complete his full house and earn Deevara a double up.

"The Indian poker wizard," Deevara said.

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

Logan Hoover raised to 2,200 and earned three callers including Ethan Yau in the small blind. The flop brought 9♥6♣4♦ and the action checked to Hoover, who bet 1,800. It folded back to Yau who went for a check-raise to 7,000 and Hoover came along for the ride.

Yau then led the K♥ turn for 14,000 but Hoover came back with a raise to 35,000 for Yau to call.

The 3♥ river was checked by Yau and Hoover tossed in a green T-25,000 chip for a final stab at the pot. Yau called and no showdown followed, as Hoover sent his cards into the muck.

Having started the day with a shorter stack, Yau has more than quadrupled the amount since.

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

Melanie Weisner had already raised from the cutoff and was three-bet to 7,000 by Nhan Nguyen on the button. Action folded back to Weisner, who made it 18,000 to go. Nguyen called.

Weisner shoved for 42,000 on the 10♥Q♣9♣ flop and Nguyen called to put Weisner at risk after tanking for a bit.

Melanie Weisner: K♦K♥ All in
Nhan Nguyen: J♥J♠

Weisner was ahead, but still had plenty of outs to fade. The Q♥7♣ runout bricked out for Nguyen, however, and Weisner was awarded the double up with her kings.
