Runner Runner Busts Reid

Jeff McMillan

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

Terrance Reid had been decimated not long before by quad kings and was down to just five big blinds where he was all in and at risk.

Terrance Reid:K♠9♥ All in
David Meschel: J♦8♦

The flop came 4♥K♥7♦ to make it look good for a double up. But turn was the J♠ and the river the J♥ to brutally crack the pair of kings and sent Reid to payouts.

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

A player in the small blind was all in for around 200,000, Larry Ormson shoved in his last 250,000 in the big blind, and Laith Salem had both players covered and at risk in early position.

Small Blind: 10♥10♠ All in
Larry Ormson: A♠Q♦ All in
Laith Salem: Q♥Q♠

Salem quickly went from being ahead and poised for a double knockout to drawing dead once the flop came A♦9♠A♥, giving Ormson trips. The rest of the board ran out 8♦3♦ and Ormson took the pot to virtually triple up and eliminate the small blind.

Earlier at this table, Biao Ding and Koray Aldemir tangled in a massive pot where Aldemir was all in for around 1,100,000 with two kings, but Ding woke up with two aces to bust the 2021 Main Event champion.

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

Nacho Barbero opened from middle position to 40,000 and was three-bet by the button to 110,000. Randy Perkins was in the big blind and shoved for 215,000, then Barbero announced a four-bet of 320,000, which got the button to fold.

Randy Perkins: 8♥8♦ All in
Nacho Barbero: A♣Q♣

"Flipaments," said a player at the table.

Indeed it was a flip and it went Barbero's way as he paired his ace on the 5♦K♠A♥J♦3♦ runout, which eliminated Perkins.

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

A pot of around 400,000 was already in the middle as Christopher Frank and Alejandro Lococo went heads-up to the river on a board of 2♠A♦Q♥10♣2♣. Lococo then slid forward a tower of chips, enough to put Frank all in.

Frank tanked for several minutes until he called for his last 520,000. Lococo showed K♠J♠ for the nut straight and Frank went to muck his hand, but the dealer retrieved A♣10♠ before Frank made his exit.

Gonzalez Busts Gill and Daniels

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Robert Gill was facing the prospect of losing half of his stack to the big blind and ante, and he moved all in from under the gun. Cody Daniels then moved all-in over the top for around 330,000, and behind them, Andres Gonzalez called and put both at risk.

Robert Gill: 9♥6♣ All in
Cody Daniels: J♥J♠ All in
Andres Gonzalez: A♠A♥

Before the cards were flipped over, Daniels used his one-time, but all hope of an even deeper run evaporated on the A♣8♦2♠ flop. The 9♠ turn left both shorter stacks drawing dead ahead of the 5♦ river, and the table broke right after.

One year ago, Daniels finished in 635th place, surpassing that result with a 590th place for $32,500.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tom Dwan raised to 40,000 in the hijack and Jans Arends defended in the big blind.

The flop came Q♣2♣10♣ and action went check-check, bringing the 3♦ turn.

Arends led out with a bet of 75,000 and Dwan moved all in for 405,000, putting himself at risk. Arends thought for a moment before flicking in the call.

Tom Dwan: 3♣3♥ All in
Jans Arends: K♣Q♠

The river brought the J♣, with Arends hitting a flush to crack Dwan's set of threes.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A player in the hijack was all in for around 250,000 and up against Jayphong Nguyen in the big blind.

All-In Player: A♦Q♠ All in
Jayphong Nguyen: A♥K♥

Any hope the all-in player had of staying alive in the tournament disappeared on the 3♥4♥10♥ flop as Nguyen hit the nut flush. The rest of the J♥5♦ board was a mere formality as Nguyen scored the knockout.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Luis Vazquez just eliminated another player after a massive pot that catapulted him to the top of the chip counts, and the table filled in the details.

A player raised in early position and Vazquez called in middle position, as did the small blind. The flop came K♦10♦8♣ and Vazquez bet 35,000. The small blind raised to 120,000, Vazquez reraised to 260,000, and the small blind called.

The turn was the Q♣, and Vazquez bet another 340,000. His opponent tanked for several minutes, and Vazquez called the clock. The small blind eventually moved all in for around 1,000,000, and Vazquez called with 9♦7♦ for straight and flush draws.

His opponent had K♣10♣ for two pair and his own flush draw, but the river was the A♦ as Vazquez completed his draw to win the pot and climb past 4,000,000.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action commenced with a raise to 35,000 and Joe Hamilton called from the very next seat. Santhosh Suvarna then three-bet jammed for his last 65,000 in the small blind and the initial raiser called. Hamilton reraised to 200,000 and isolated successfully.

Santhosh Suvarna: A♣10♠ All in
Joe Hamilton: A♦J♥

Suvarna was pipped by a notch but gained some equity until the K♣9♠5♣4♣ turn with his flush draw. However, the 4♦ river brought no help and the kicker played for Hamilton.

After battling out for several hands, including a memorable long one earlier today where Roberto Perez folded the river, Alex Keating ended the Spaniard's tournament by taking the last of his chips and finish their battle.

Keating complimented Perez as he headed to payouts. "You are a great player man" he said as he stacked his new chips to increase his stack to north of 3 million.
