Livingston Claims a Late Night Victim

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alex Livingston opened to 50,000 on the button, and a player defended in the big blind.

Action checked to Livingston on the A♣10♥8♦ flop, and he continued for 40,000. The big blind made the call after stalling for some time due to an impending pay jump.

The turn came 5♥, prompting the big blind to bet out 65,000. Livingston snap raised enough to cover his opponent, who, after tanking for a few minutes, called off for his remaining 125,000 or so.

Big Blind Player: J♣10♠ All in
Alex Livingston: A♥3♥

Livingston had flopped top pair to leave his opponent drawing fairly thin. The river came 7♠ to confirm the pot and knockout for Livingston as play on Day 4 draws to a close.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Diogo Veiga was all in for 410,000 in the hijack, Pascal Pflock stuck in his last 80,000 in the big blind, and the button had both players covered and at risk.

Pascal Pflock: J♣8♣ All in
Diogo Veiga: 6♣6♦ All in
Button: A♥7♣

The 8♦6♠3♠ flop gave Pflock top pair, but Veiga spiked a set and held up through the 10♠ turn and K♠ river to win the pot and send Pflock to the rail while doubling up off the button.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Shawn Rice raised to 40,000 in early position and a player on the button called. The big blind then three-bet to 430,000, leaving just around 50,000 behind, and Rice called. The button quickly folded.

The flop came 10♠9♣8♥ and Rice bet enough to put his opponent all in. The big blind looked up at the tournament clock and waited a minute before calling.

All-In Player: K♠Q♠ All in
Shawn Rice: A♦A♥

Rice was ahead with his aces and the at-risk player couldn't catch up on the 2♣ turn and 4♥ river as he was sent to the rail in the closing moments of Day 4.

The button then admitted he folded two eights. "Once you called, I knew you had a big hand," he told Rice.

Sherwood Eliminated by Tkatschew

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Sherwood moved all-in for 245,000 in the hijack and Alexander Tkatschew asked for a count one seat over before he called, all players behind folded.

Robert Sherwood: A♣10♥ All in
Alexander Tkatschew: 9♠9♣

The J♥4♦2♠ flop kept Sherwood with some hope, but that all vanished when the 9♦ turn improved Tkatschew to a set of nines and left the Brit drawing dead. That made the K♣ river a formality and Sherwood headed to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of 10♥8♠7♣4♣, Biao Ding bet 250,000 from the cutoff before James Kohl moved all in for 640,000 in the big blind. An early-position player called for his last 540,000 and Ding tanked for a few minutes before folding.

The all-in player showed K♣10♣ for top pair and a flush draw, while Kohl had 6♣5♣ for a straight. The river was the K♦ and Kohl took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

"I wanted his chips. If you folded a set, that's a hell of a fold," Kohl told Ding after the hand.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The remnants of a hand were being sorted and the details were told afterwards. Joe McKeehen jammed for about 400,000 over an early position raise. Jeffrey Copeland called.

McKeehen had 9x9x and was up against the AxKx of Copeland who would hit a king on the runout to eliminate the last Main Event champion remaining in the field

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in early position moved all in for around 400,000, another opponent reshoved for 650,000, and Daniel Kirsch had them both covered and at risk.

Early-Position: Q♦Q♥ All in
Middle-Position: A♣K♣ All in
Daniel Kirsch: J♠J♦

With most of his stack in the middle, Kirsch found himself dominated until the flop brought J♣8♥6♠, giving him top set. The rest of the board ran out 5♣2♠ and Kirsch scooped the entire pot to eliminate both players.

"Jacks have sunrun this table. They haven't lost once," tablemate Jayphong Nguyen said.

"I don't know if it's a good omen, but last year's champion had the same hand against queens and ace-king," Nguyen added.

"Actually it was kings," another tablemate replied.

"Kings? That makes it worse," Nguyen said.

The chips of Anthony Nguyen went into the middle with the A♣K♦ and he was up against the A♠A♦ of Yong Han.

There was a glimpse of hope with the K♥8♥5♠ flop but neither the 3♠ turn nor the 9♥ river brought any further help to send Nguyen to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Andrea Dato raised to 125,000 in late position, leaving himself with just 20,000 behind. Action folded around to Danielle Andersen in the big blind, who had him covered, and moved all in. Dato made the call for the rest of his chips.

Andrea Dato: A♦J♦ All in
Danielle Andersen: A♥A♣

The board ran out 9♥2♠5♥6♥10♠ and Andersen's pair of aces held to send Dato packing.
