Zerbib Flips Kyablue to the Rail

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xavier Kyablue moved all in for 142,000 from the hijack and Jerome Zerbib called in the small blind.

Xavier Kyablue: 10♥10♠ All in
Jerome Zerbib: A♣K♥

Kyablue was flipping for his tournament life, but the J♣A♦8♠ flop improved Zerbib to top pair and left Kyablue needing a miracle to stay alive. He didn't find any help on the 2♣ turn or J♥ river and Zerbib took the pot to send him to the rail.

There was a three-way all in going on with Ryan Franklin having the best of it and the chance to eliminate two players at once.

Frederic Delval: 7x7x All in
Tyler Smith: 10x10x All in
Ryan Franklin: KxKx

The flop came 6♠Q♦J♠. The turn was the 8♥ and just as Delval called for a lucky seven the 7♥ came on the river to save his tournament life and give him a triple up.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were over 200,000 chips in the pot on a board of A♥10♠5♣K♣ when Benjamin Grise got in his stack of around 175,000, with Carl Oman looking to score the elimination.

Benjamin Grise: 10♥10♦ All in
Carl Oman: A♣Q♣

"No club!" shouted Grise, who was in a great spot to double-up.

Unfortunately for Grise, a club did come as the 2♣ filled out the board which eliminated him, as Oman improved to the nut flush.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vincent Procopio was under the gun and got his last 178,000 in the middle against an opponent in early position.

Vincent Procopio: A♠A♣
Opponent: K♥K♦

Procopio was far ahead with aces against kings and held up through the 7♣8♣Q♣Q♠J♠ board to earn a double up, leaving his opponent with just one chip behind.

At the same time at another table, Max Kingstone got his last 150,000 in with A♠Q♣ but Mathias Pedersen had A♣K♣. Both players paired their ace on the flop, but Kingstone improved no further and Pedersen took the pot to send him to the rail.

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Arriving on a turn of A♣3♥10♠K♠, Preben Stokkan in the small blind checked to Yiannis Liperis in the cutoff. Liperis bet 20,000 chips before Stokkan moved all in.

Liperis made the call to put Stokkan at risk, and the cards were tabled.

Preben Stokkan: A♦3♦ All in
Yiannis Liperis: K♥Q♦

Stokkan's two pair had a monster lead over Liperis' pair and gutshot. However, the J♣ river gave Liperis Broadway to eliminate Stokkan from the Main Event.

On another table, Day 1a chipleader Joshua Feiger was eliminated after he ran his final few blinds into pocket aces and could not win.

He was joined by Scott Blumstein, Jack O'Neill, and Matt Waxman, among others.

Warnicke's Main Event Dream Flushed Away by Garcia

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Garcia opened from middle position to 20,000 and David Yokoyama called from the hijack. Richard Warnicke then three-bet the minimum to 30,000, which both Garcia & Warnicke called.

All three players saw a flop of 6♥8♦5♣ which Warnicke checked, Garcia bet 30,000, Yokoyama folded, and Warnicke raised to 80,000. After thinking for a while, Garcia called.

On the 8♥ turn, Warnicke led out for 150,000, and Garcia called.

A 9♥ landed on the river and after around thirty seconds, Warnicke shoved for around 250,000. Garcia took just two seconds before he flicked in a call, which put Warnicke at risk.

Warnicke confidently tabled 7♥4♥ for a flopped straight that backdoored a flush, but Garcia had A♥5♥ for a bigger flush, which ended Warnicke's run in the Main Event.
