Vaysman Goes Into the Tank After Young's River Bet

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

With around 1,400,000 chips in the pot on a board of 77573, Justin Vaysman had checked it over to Orson Young, who fired a big bet of 1,150,000 on the river. Vaysman was deep, deep into the tank and seemed in agony, but eventually laid his hand down and relinquished the pot to Young.

"I feel like someone's gotta call the clock there," remarked Young after he was awarded the pot.

"I don't see how extra time can help you. You either call or fold," said Laith Salem was also at the table.

Toghyan Crashes Out in Setup Hand

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

Hamid Toghyan raised for Daniel Jones to make it 130,000 to go. It folded back to Toghyan and he clicked it up to 360,000 and then called all-in when Jones pushed with the covering seven-figure stack.

Hamid Toghyan: KK All in
Daniel Jones: AA

"What is going on here? What is going on?" a stunned and flabbergasted Toghyan said as he was on the bad end of a cooler between the two premium pairs.

There was no escaping on the Q8753 runout and Toghyan went from middle of the pack to the payout desk.

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

Christopher Ewing moved all in for 155,000 from the cutoff and Fernando Rodriguez re-jammed for 290,000 from the button. Phil Ivey called from the big blind.

Christopher Ewing: A2All in
Fernando Rodriguez: 33All in
Phil Ivey: KK

The flop came K8Q giving Ivey a set of kings.

The A turn and the J river wasn’t enough to save the at-risk players as they stood from the table, having just given Ivey a big chip up.

Weng Gets Paid With Aces

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

Around 400,000 was already in the pot as Bin Weng and Craig Robertson went heads-up to the river on a board of 28KQ2.

Weng then bet 225,000 from the hijack and Robertson tanked for a few minutes before calling on the button. Weng turned over AA and Robertson mucked.

Wysocki Wins a Flip to Eliminate Cox

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

Szymon Wysocki raised from early position to 55,000 and Donavan Cox three-bet from middle position to 210,000. When it got back to Wysocki, he shoved, and Cox eventually called off his stack of around 1,000,000 chips.

Donavan Cox: AK All in
Szymon Wysocki: JJ

During his decision to call off his stack, Cox had mentioned that he felt like they both had the same hand, but that wasn't the case. It was a flip that went Wysocki's way as the 106534 runout kept his pocket jacks in the lead, which sent Cox to the rail.

End of the Road for Eichele

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

Robert Eichele had committed the entirety of his short stack to the pot from late position and was at risk against Dimitri Joubert in the small blind.

Robert Eichele: A7 All in
Dimitri Joubert: AK

The end was in sight for Eichele, already a significant dog preflop, once the first three community cards came 4102 to remove one of his three immediate outs. The 3 turn brought some faint hope in the form of a gutshot to a chop but Joubert instead made the nuts on the Q river to felt Eichele.

Wysocki Makes an Insane Fold

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

After just winning a flip, Szymon Wysocki just made a ridiculous fold to save himself some chips.

Wysocki raised from under the gun to 55,000 and Elton Beebe three-bet the minimum to 85,000.

"Is that a legal raise?" asked Wysocki. It was legal and once it got back to the Polish player, he made the call.

The action was checked to the river on the 75A2K board where Wysocki bet 140,000, then Beebe raised to around 400,000. Wysocki, at absolute lightning speed, snap-folded 55 face up for a set. The table seemed shocked, but when Beebe turned over KK for a rivered, bigger set, it made Wysocki look like a genius.

"What chance do we have when people are not paying off with sets?" commented Tony Dunst.

Zheng Sends Bickley to the Rail

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

Robert Bickley defended the big blind against Kai Zheng and checked the Q42 flop, then check-raised to 105,000. Zheng clicked it back to 210,000 only for Bickley to move all-in. Zheng sighed and called after a few seconds of consideration.

Robert Bickley: KQ All in
Kai Zheng: AQ

The kicker played as the 3 turn and 2 river sent the former WSOP Europe Main Event finalist to the payout desk.
