The Rail Explodes as Moroz Takes Out Kim

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of Q♠2♦A♠ where Kenneth Kim bet 375,000 in the hijack. Yegor Moroz then raised to 850,000 in the cutoff.

Malcolm Franchi and Brian Hawkins folded as action went back to Kim who called. The turn was the 2♥ and Moroz bet 2,075,000.

Kim then moved all in for 6,050,000 and Moroz tanked for a minute before calling. Kim showed K♠Q♦ for two pair, while Moroz had A♦Q♣ for aces and queens.

"He's dead," Moroz's passionate rail yelled out when the cards were revealed. The river was the 3♦ and they erupted in celebration as Moroz raised his arms into the air, then ran over and embraced his supporters as the massive pot was pushed his way.

"Your rail is very subtle," tablemate Charles Russell told him when Moroz sat back down.

Malcolm Franchi opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Adrian Garcia called in the next seat as Gaston Martinez called in the big blind with a short stack.

Martinez led out for 225,000 on the flop of 6♥3♥5♣ and Franchi raised to 450,000. Garcia then three-bet to 2,300,000 and Martinez went deep in the tank before folding. Franchi then folded J♠J♥ face-up.

"I know you flatted aces because of the short stack in the big blind," Franchi told his opponent, who did not reveal his hand.

Martinez busted soon after when the final nine tables were set.

"Wrecking Ball" Davis Fills Up in a Monster Pot to Bust Sanchez

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of 9♠5♣2♠ where Brian Rast bet 850,000 from early position. Kevin Davis then raised to 1,800,000 in middle position.

Action then went on Francisco Sanchez in the big blind who moved all in for 7,000,000. Rast asked for a count of both opponents' stacks as he went into the tank for several minutes.

He eventually folded, but Davis snap-called to create a massive pot with more than 15,000,000 at stake.

Francisco Sanchez: A♠J♠ All in
Kevin Davis: 2♣2♥

Rast said he folded two jacks as Sanchez showed down the nut flush draw, while Davis had a set of deuces. The turn was the 5♦ and Davis improved to a full house to leave Sanchez drawing dead.

Sanchez cruelly saw the 8♠ fall on the river that completed his no-good flush and laughed it off as he filmed the action before heading for the rail.

"You're a wrecking ball, man," Rast told Davis, who moved up to 26,000,000 and into the tournament chip lead.

Nicolas Vayssieres: Q♠Q♦ All in
Robert Renaud: A♠A♣

Vayssieres had run into aces and couldn't hit his two-outer as the board ran out 8♦2♣6♠10♦J♣ to mark his elimination in one of the last hands before dinner break.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Niklas Astedt in the hijack opened to 240,000 with Q♠9♠, but Julio Trimmer on the button three-bet to 800,000. Rakan Abu-Saleh in the big blind then jammed for 1,420,000. Astedt folded but Trimmer made the call.

Rakan Abu-Saleh: A♦K♣ All in
Julio Trimmer: Q♣6♣

Abu-Saleh was on his way to double up after the flop of 3♠2♦8♠ and the J♣ turn. But the Q♦ river landed on the felt to give top pair to Trimmer and send him the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Gabriel Moura defended the big blind against a raise to 250,000 by Alexandru Brumaru. They headed to the J♦10♠9♠ flop on which Moura check-raised from 250,000 to 900,000. Brumaru clicked it back to 2,900,000 and then got it in when Moura shoved.

Alexandru Brumaru: J♠J♣ All in
Gabriel Moura: K♣Q♣

The flopped nut straight needed to avoid the board to pair and the 7♣ turn as well as 4♣ river did just that. Both stacks were counted and Moura covered to send Brumaru to the payout desk.

Heads-up on a board of K♥8♦9♥10♣, Giovanni Zanette bet 750,000 from the hijack and Marc Wolpert came back with a raise to 2,000,000 in the big blind.

Zanette called to the 6♠ river, where Wolpert bet another 2,000,000. Zanette spent several minutes in the tank before he called.

Wolpert showed A♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but Zanette had A♠K♣ for kings to win the pot. "Nice hand, good call," Wolpert said as he handed over the big pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Niklas Astedt in middle position opened to 240,000 with A♣J♠. Kristen Foxen with K♥K♦ on the button just called, and so did Tyler Montoya in the big blind with A♠J♥.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥7♣6♥ and Astedt continued for 200,000. Foxen called, as well as Montoya to find the 5♥ turn.

All three players checked this card, but on the 6♦ river, after Montoya checked, Astedt bet 200,000.

Foxen raised to 1,300,000, so Montoya went deep into the tank. He eventually folded his two pair. Same problem for Astedt, who folded the best hand as well.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Cameron Mixson shoved from the hijack for 1,700,000 and Daniel Kyosev called from the small blind.

Cameron Mixson: A♥8♠ All in
Daniel Kyosev: A♣J♦

Mixson needed a lot of help but never found it on the K♠9♦6♣ flop. There were some backdoor draws for Mixson, who asked for a seven from the dealer but instead a Q♥ fell on the turn.

"One time," said Mixson.

As if by magic, an 8♥ landed on the river which gave Mixson the pot, and kept him alive in the Main Event.

"That's my 'one time' used," joked a jubilant Mixson as he raked in the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Arthur Morris raised to 240,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 600,000 by Joe Serock in the hijack. It was folded back around to Morris, who announced he was all in for approximately 2,700,000 total. Serock snap-called to put Morris at risk and hands were revealed.

Arthur Morris: Q♥Q♠ All in
Joe Serock: A♣A♥

The J♣10♣8♦ flop gave Morris additional outs to a straight, but the 3♥ turn changed nothing.

Morris stood up from his seat and the dealer brought the 9♠ on the river. — filling Morris' gutshot to award him the double up.

"Lets go! Holy shi**!" Morris said. "Biggest suck-out of my life, probably."
