Coelho Wakes Up with Kings; Apicella Departs

Calum Grant

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Diogo Coelho opened to 50,000 from middle position before Benjamin Horgan three-bety to 190,000 from the big blind. Coelho then moved all in for 680,000, and Horgan called after some time in the tank.

Diogo Coelho: K♥K♣ All in
Benjamin Horgan: 10♦10♠

Horgan was left with one out after the A♥6♥4♥ flop, with Coelho holding out on the 7♣ turn and 4♦ river to collect the double up.

While that hand played out, Austin Apicella was flushed out by Gabriel Moura, whose K♦5♦ rivered a flush on the 3♠3♦6♦J♠9♦ after the chips went in on the flop.

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

James Moran raised to 60,000 under the gun before Andrew Hanna three-bet to 175,000 in the hijack. Moran called and they saw a flop of 8♣5♣J♣.

Moran led out for 200,000 and Hanna called. The turn was the K♥ and Moran moved all in for 900,000. Hanna snap-called and turned over K♦K♠ for top set.

"I'm drawing dead," Moran said, showing A♦J♥. The inconsequential river was the Q♠ and Moran stopped to snap a photo of the board.

"First hand," he added as he waited for his payout slip.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Oren Haziza raised from under the gun and then called the shove by Paul Cicero on the button.

Paul Cicero: Q♠Q♦ All in
Oren Haziza: A♣9♣

The 9♦4♠2♠ flop gave Haziza a pair and while the 7♦ turn was a brick, the 9♠ river was not as Haziza improved to trips.

"It felt like it was a good spot for him to steal," Haziza shrugged in table chat.

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

John Andress opened to 50,000 from early position and Stephen Wangler three-bet the button to 225,000. Once the blinds folded, Andress shoved for 515,000, and Wangler called.

John Andress: A♦K♣ All in
Stephen Wangler: A♣Q♣

Wangler didn't seem happy at the situation and didn't get any happier as the runout of 10♦9♥6♥K♠5♦ left him short-stacked.

John Andress	1,100,000 535,000	535,000

Small Double for Ahmadian

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Elia Ahmadian moved all in for his last 125,000 from early position and was called by Brannon Hertel in the big blind.

Elia Ahmadian: K♦J♥ All in
Brannon Hertel: J♦9♠

Ahmadian had his opponent dominated and was in good shape to double. The board ran out J♣A♠3♦8♥K♥ to improve him to kings up, keeping Ahmadian's main event dream alive for at least a little longer as Hertel took a relatively small hit to his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brannon Hertel	680,000 -90,000	-90,000
Elia Ahmadian	285,000 160,000	160,000
