McCullagh Eliminated by Rosenblum

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

Jordan Griff raised to 300,000 and Ciaran McCullagh then pushed all-in from the button for around 2,200,000. Russell Rosenblum in the big blind asked for a count and then went all-in over the top to force out Griff.

Ciaran McCullagh: AQ All in
Russell Rosenblum: AK

In the previous all-in showdown on their table, Rosenblum had come from behind in the same scenario when he was at risk and history seemingly repeated itself on the Q63 flop. However, the K turn repeated the preflop order and Rosenblum further improved to trips with the K river to send McCullagh to the rail.

Astedt Doubles Up with Aces

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Stephen Song in the hijack opened to 300,000, then Niklas Astedt in the cutoff three-bet to 800,000. The button and the blinds folded, and Song decided to four-bet all-in. Astedt looked at his cards and snap-called.

Niklas Astedt: AA All in
Stephen Song: A3

Even if he had aces, Astedt was not guaranteed to win as the flop of J810 gave a flush draw to Song. The 2 turn didn't change anything, and Astedt was able to double his 6,100,000 chip stack after the 9 river.

The river was the 4 and Zakarian moved all in for 3,800,000. Latinois snap-called with J10 for a flush and Zakarian flashed AK before making his exit.

Aliaksandr Shylko: 1010 All in
Daniel Zadok: AK

Shylko's tens held up for a double as the board ran out a safe 73QQ8 and he gave a loud cheer and took a picture of the board after securing the double.

Zadok's Aces Stack Collins' Queens

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Daniel Zadok
Daniel Zadok

Naor Slobodskoy opeend from middle position to 400,000 and Daniel Zadok three-bet the button to 1,125,000. David Collins then four-bet from the small blind to 2,800,000, which got Slobodskoy to fold. Zadok then shoved all in, and Collins quickly called off his remaining 5,000,000 chips.

David Collins: QQ All in
Daniel Zadok: AA

Collins was way behind and didn't find any help on the 1025 flop. Only a queen could save Collins but neither the 10 turn nor 9 river was the Lady he was looking for, which meant he was elimimated.

Zadok on the other hand, now has a stack of around 24,000,000 chips.

Tang Outflopped By Xiao

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Danny Tang
Danny Tang

Shundan Xiao opened to 400,000 from middle position and Danny Tang announced a raise of 1,800,000 from the button, which was all of his chips. The action folded to the big blind and while he was thinking, Xiao made the call out of turn.

"That's good news. You were not happy about calling," remarked Tang.

The big blind did eventually fold, and Xiao's call stood.

Danny Tang; A10 All in
Shundan Xiao: A7

Tang was in the lead but soon fell behind on the K67 flop, though he did pick up a flush draw.

"We've been outflopped, but we have a flush draw or a ten," said Tang to his rail.

The Q turn added yet more outs of Tang as any jack would complete Broadway, but the 3 river didn't help him which meant he was eliminated.

Roller Coaster Double for Capps Against Coelho

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jesse Capps
Jesse Capps

Diogo Coelho raised to 400,000 in the hijack and Jesse Capps three-bet to 2,900,000 on the button with 25,000 behind. The blinds folded and Coelho pushed all-in, Capps called.

Jesse Capps: JJ All in
Diogo Coelho: AQ

"It is a flip, jacks versus ace-queen," Capps told his nearby rail.

When the flop came AK8, he sighed "oh no, an ace" but then jumped up high in the air several times when he spiked the J on the turn. Capps cooled down enough to tell his rail to wait with the celebration as he needed to dodge a ten.

The river was the 4 and his double-up was confirmed.

"Is this real life?" he gasped before sitting down to stack the chips.

On the other side of the table, Coelho just smiled as he paid off the double with a very calm demeanour.
