Ng Bluffs Off His Stack, Miscikowski Benefits

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

There were already around 350,000 chips in the pot on the turn with the board reading A♠2♥5♠2♦ when Dennis Ng checked, and David Miscikowski fired 160,000. Ng then made a very small raise to 325,000, and Miscikowski called.

A K♥ filled out the board on the river and Ng shoved for 505,000. Miscikowski thought about it a while and elected to call, which put Ng at risk.

Ng sheepishly turned over 8♠6♦ for eight-high, and Miscikowski revealed A♦J♦ for a pair of aces, which eliminated Ng.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jerome Zerbib opened to 60,000 from early position and Richard Dixon shoved for his last 260,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Zerbib, who verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Dixon at risk.

Richard Dixon: 5♥5♦ All in
Jerome Zerbib: Q♥10♥

The 10♠4♠J♣K♥J♠ runout paired Zerbib's ten to leave him best and Dixon was eliminated.

"That guy's my coach," Zerbib said as he pointed to fellow tablemate Ren Lin.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Phil Ivey's run in the Main Event just came to an end at the hands of Zakhar Galper, and the table filled in the details.

According to a player at the table, Galper raised before Ivey jammed for 400,000 with two jacks. Galper called with AxQx and the flop came Kx9x9x. The A♠ fell on the turn to give Galper the lead with two pair, and Ivey couldn't hit his two-outer on the river to stay alive as the 11-time bracelet winner was sent to the rail.

David Salituro

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jean Lhuillier raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Rudy Cervantes called on the button. David Wintersberger then three-bet to 300,000 in the big blind and Lhuillier folded. Cervantes, though, moved all in for 810,000 and Wintersberger snap-called.

Rudy Cervantes: 9♦9♠ All in
David Wintersberger: 10♠10♥

Cervantes was dominated by Wintersberger's better pocket pair and found no help on the K♦3♠6♦8♣5♣ board as he was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, action folded to Ren Lin who raised to 100,000 in the small blind. Nicholas Howard then three-bet to 275,000.

Lin reraised to 600,000 and Howard quickly folded.

"Show the bluff," a tablemate said.

"$200 cash," Lin replied as, with no money forthcoming, he mucked his cards facedown.

"No cameras, no bluff. Aces. That's the last time you'll three-bet me," Lin told Howard as he took the pot.

Nakladal Delivers a One-Two Blow to Eliminate Crockett

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A brutal two hands for Adam Crockett saw him eliminated from the Main Event.

Firstly, Crocket opened the hijack to 65,000 and got called by Jan Nakladal on the button & Carlos Sanchez Diaz in the big blind.

On the 3♠7♦4♠ flop, Diaz checked, Crockett bet 75,000, and only Nakladal called.

The 10♠ landed on the turn and Crockett fired another bet of 225,000 into the pot, which Nakladal called.

Crockett slowed down with a check on the A♣ river, and Nakladal made a bet of 500,000. Crockett thought it about it for a while before he made the call.

Nakladal tabled A♠9♠ for the nut flush, and Crockett mucked saying he had 6x5x for a straight.

The very next hand, Crockett shoved for 150,000 from middle position and Nakladal made the call from the cutoff.

Adam Crockett: J♠10♠ All in
Jan Nakladal: A♦Q♦

Crockett flopped a Royal Flush draw but couldn't connect with any of his outs as the board ran out K♠Q♠7♣5♦K♥, which ended his Main Event run.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jan Nakladal	3,100,000 690,000	690,000
