Dwan Forces Out Two

Jeff McMillan

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was a three-way pot going on as the board read Q♣8♠7♣3♠. The pot had around 43,000 in it. Tom Dwan was in middle position and took some time before acting. Eventually he bet 32,000. Bradley Mercer called in the big blind and an early position player with the shortest stack came along as well with the call to build the pot even more.

The river came the 9♦. Dwan was again deliberate with his action as he stood up to assess both stacks of his opponents, with the early position player having about 42,000 effective. After over a minute, Dwan fired 65,000.

Mercer quickly folded and so did the early position player and Dwan took down the chunky pot.
--
Shortly afterwards, Dwan eliminated the same early position player when he shoved for about 62,000 with A♠K♠ and Dwan's QxQx held up in the run out.

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Domenico Micillo checked from the small blind to Jason Raber in middle positon. Raber then jammed all in on the 9♠10♣8♣4♠ board for a bet of 57,500, slightly less than the pot.

Micillo tried to get some information out of his opponent before putting in a call with the covering stack.

Jason Raber: Q♦J♣ All in
Domenico Micillo: 5♣4♣

Raber just needed to fade a club and he did just so when the 4♥ river gave Micillo a no-good three of a kind.

Howard Makes the Right Call

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nicholas Howard was heads-up from the big blind against the player on the button on a flop of K♥7♠2♥.

Howard proceeded to check-call his opponent down. First for 4,000 on flop, then for 21,500 on the 3♠ turn, and finally for 24,000 after the J♦ completed the board.

The button could only show 5♥4♦ for a busted straight draw and Howard turned over 10♦7♣ for a pair of sevens to claim the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Cutoff: A♠K♣ All in
Chad Lipton: A♦Q♠

The board ran out J♦9♠A♣5♠Q♣ and Lipton caught his queen on the river to stack his opponent and inch near the 500,000-chip mark.

P(e)eling His Opponents

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tyler Rueger opened the action under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Zephyr Peling, in the small blind, three-bet to 21,500, which Rueger called.

On the 3♣5♠10♦ flop, Peling led with a bet of 14,000, and Rueger called.

The 10♣ on the turn prompted Peling to go all in, covering his opponent. Rueger agonized over his tournament life at risk but ultimately made the call.

Tyler Rueger: 8♣8♦ All in
Zephyr Peling: A♦K♣

Rueger was ahead, but his hopes were dashed when the dealer revealed the K♥ on the river, sending him to the rail.

Kai Cocklin

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There were around 75,000 chips in the pot on a board of 4♦6♠J♦9♥ when Joseph Mcmahon checked to Quan Zhou, who fired a bet of 19,500. Mcmahon called.

On the flush-completing 3♦ river, Mcmahon checked again and was then faced a bigger bet of 100,000 from Zhou. Mcmahon thought for some time before he dropped in the call.

Zhou tabled J♥J♠, and Mcmahon gave up the pot. As Zhou was raking in the chips, Mcmahon showed A♣A♦.

On the same table, Loni Hui is up to around 850,000 chips.
