Wilf Busts Full Over Full to Moroz

Christian Zetzsche

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The turn showed K♣Q♣Q♥7♥ and Saar Wilf bet 225,000 out of the big blind, which Yegor Moroz on the button called.

Wilf then led the 3♥ river for 200,000 and Moroz clicked it back to 600,000. After some consideration, Wilf made it 1,200,000 to go with around 450,000 behind. Only a few seconds later, Moroz pushed all-in and Wilf was stunned.

"Oh wow ... this is not happening. You got fuckin kings?" Wilf said as he leaned deep back into his chair. Around two minutes passed and Wilf then called all-in.

Moroz tabled the hand he had feared in K♥K♦ for kings full of queens and Wilf flashed the Q♠3♠ for queens full of treys to bust in the final level of the night.

At the same time one table over, Alexander Tkatschew knocked out Michael Jagroo when his A♦K♣ hit a four-card flush on the 7♣4♣2♦10♣2♣ runout.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

James Kohl raised to 150,000 in early position, Niklas Astedt three-bet to 400,000 in the cutoff, and Kohl called.

The flop came 8♦10♥3♦ and Astedt moved all in. "Okay, let's go," Kohl said as he called for 700,000.

James Kohl: A♦4♦ All in
Niklas Astedt: A♠K♠

Kohl had a flush draw against Astedt's superior ace, but he missed the 7♠ turn and 2♠ river as Astedt went past 9,000,000 with the bustout.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♠2♣K♣J♠ with over a million in the pot arleady, Kyosuke Nagami check-called a 540,000 bet from Kavin Shah.

The 5♣ completed the board and Nagami shoved for approximately two million, which was enough to put Shah all in for slightly less.

"Set no good?" Shah inquired as he weighed his decision. Nagami remained silent.

Shah eventually put in a call and Nagami turned over A♣J♣ for the nut flush.

Shah showed he held 8♣8♥ for a set of eights — eliminating him late in the evening.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The middle position player meant to make it 100,000, but failed to announce raise thus the action was ruled as a call. This prompted Kevin Killeen to raise to 250,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Brandon Cantu in the small blind and he made it 675,000. The middle position player folded. Killeen moved all in for around 2,400,000 and Cantu quickly called.

Kevin Killeen: KxKx
Brandon Cantu: JxJx

Cantu was in rough shape and remained behind after the Q♦2♦2♣ flop. However, the J♣ turn saw Cantu make a full house to take the lead ahead of the 3♣ river.

Cantu didn't even bother stacking his chips, and after pulling off the suckout, he went for a quick walk around the Horseshoe Events Centre.

Nazar Buhaiov raised to 100,000 in early position and Brad Anderson called. Adam Kharman then moved all in for 740,000 on the button, Buhaiov reshoved, and Anderson folded.

Adam Kharman: 9♣9♦ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: Q♦Q♥

Kharman was dominated by Buhaiov's queens as the Q♠6♥10♦ flop put him further behind Buhaiov's set. The rest of the board came A♥K♣ and Buhaiov took another pot to send Kharman to the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Abdullah Al-Shanti in the small blind and button Isaac Kempton got all of their chips in the middle before the flop.

Isaac Kempton: Q♥Q♠ All in
Abdullah Al-Shanti: K♣K♠

"It's my time. Hold one time, baby," Al-Shanti yelled out as he shot out of his seat to await the flop.

The dealer turned over 5♣10♦8♥, followed by the 7♠ and 9♠ as Al-Shanti earned the pot with his kings. The stacks were counted down and Al-Shanti had Kempton's remaining 1,700,000 barely covered, sending him to the rail.

"It's okay to show a little emotion," Al-Shanti said following the hand.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Abdullah Al-Shanti opened to 100,000 from under the gun before Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 375,000 from middle position.

James Reid moved all in for his last 865,000 on Tamayo's direct left. Action folded to Al-Shanti, who opted to fold after some brief thought. Tamayo put in calling chips for the cards to go on their backs.

James Reid: Q♦Q♥ All in
Jonathan Tamayo: A♥10♥

Tamayo paired up on the K♣10♠3♣ flop but Reid remained ahead. However, the A♦ turn gave Tamayo the lead.

Reid called for a jack but the 3♦ river confirmed his exit instead. Reid passed on his trusty shot glass to Tamayo.

Tamayo told the the table that he doesn't drink but would do shots of apple juice out of it instead.

Jimmy Gorham: A♥K♣ All in
Yegor Moroz: A♣A♠

Moroz's rockets sent Gorham to the rail after the J♥5♦5♠6♦7♦ runout.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

John Ciccarelli raised to 100,000 in early position before Hongru Zhang three-bet to 265,000 in the cutoff. Gabriel Moura four-bet to 450,000 on the button and Ciccarelli folded.

Zhang, though, checked the tournament clock to ensure he had made a pay jump before moving all in for 900,000 more. Moura snap-called.

Hongru Zhang: K♥K♠ All in
Gabriel Moura: J♣J♦

Zhang was far ahead and poised for a double up with his kings as the flop came 8♥10♠7♦. The 9♥ turn, though, gave Moura a straight, and he secured the knockout once the 10♥ completed the board on the river.

"I felt like it was coming after that flop," tablemate Adam Kharman said as Zhang made his unfortunate exit.

Francis Anderson was eliminated from this table a few hands earlier.
