Kirsch Does His Best Weinman Impression by Spiking a Jack

David Salituro

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.

Martin Finger raised to 40,000 and earned three callers including table chip leader Lingkun Lu, the button and the big blind. They all checked through the Q♥8♥5♥ flop and the 6♠ turn was checked to Lu. His bet of 85,000 forced three folds and he won the pot without resistance to recover some previous losses.

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

Jesse Lonis raised from early position and was called by the player in the big blind. The 8♠Q♠7♣ flop was then checked through before Lonis bet 65,000 on the 3♣ turn.

The big blind check-called and the K♦ came on the river. The big blind checked again, Lonis fired a big bet of 270,000 chips, and the big blind folded after some thinking time.

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

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.

Cottrell van Wingerden

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

Picking up the action on the turn, Boris Kolev in late position was involved in a hand with Christopher Vitch in the big blind.

With the board reading 6♣8♥Q♠6♦ Vitch bet 80,000. Kolev made the call to see a river.

Vitch checked following the 9♦ river, prompting Kolev to bet 250,000. After some consideration, Vitch laid down his hand to take a hit to his stack while sending Kolev north of the three million mark.

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.
