Lam Cracks Jordison's Aces

Michael Giacobbe

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

Jevon Lam opened the action with a raise to 20,000 in early position. Angela Jordison moved all in from the button for 132,000 and Lam made the call.

Angela Jordison: A♣A♦ All in
Jevon Lam: K♥Q♥

An action flop of 10♥7♣A♥ gave Jordison top set but Lam jumped into the lead after the 3♥ hit the felt. Needing the board to pair, the 4♦ river rolled off and Jordison was sent to the payout desk.

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

Koray Aldemir opened to 20,000 from under the gun before an opponent in middle position three-bet to 55,000. Action folded back around to Aldemir, who took some time reaching a decision. His opponent, meanwhile, was busy getting his phone ready to film the hand. Aldemir opted to flat to generate a sizable pot before the flop.

The flop came 3♣3♥9♥, prompting Aldemir to check. The middle position player continued for 40,000, then called with the slightly larger stack after Aldemir responded by moving all in for 178,000.

Koray Aldemir: 10♦10♠ All in
Middle Position Player: K♠K♥

Aldemir was in terrible shape with his tournament life on the line, that is until a miraculous 10♥ rolled off the deck on the turn. The 4♣ river completed the board to hand Aldemir a huge double while leaving the middle position player with dust.

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

After a raise from a player in early position to 20,000, Aram Zobian called on the button before Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet to 82,000 from the small blind. The initial raiser folded but Zobian reraised all in and von Kriegenbergh quickly called for 297,000 effective.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♠A♣ All in
Aram Zobian: J♠J♣

A preflop cooler in von Kriegenbergh's favor, the board ran out 7♥9♥2♣K♠A♥ and he doubled up.

Scott Blumstein jammed all-in for the last 109,000 from an early position and was called by Ala Aqel in the small blind.

The A♦3♠ of Blumstein were up against 7♠7♥ and turned a wheel draw on Q♠9♥2♣4♣. Instead, it was the old-fashioned Barry Greenstein to the rescue on the A♥ river to keep the former Main Event champ in contention.

Warnicke's Main Event Dream Flushed Away by Garcia

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.
