The Morris Comeback Show Continues

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

Following a cutoff raise by Arthur Morris and a big blind defend by Xuejun Huang, the board showed J105Q and Huang had checked. Morris pushed all-in and Huang was sent into the tank.

"You cover me?" he asked and Morris shook his head, then counted his remaining 2,600,000. Huang pondered about it for another half a minute and called.

Arthur Morris: KQ All in
Xuejun Huang: Q9

Both had top pair and a straight draw, but Morris was ahead. The river was the 10 and Morris doubled once more, then jumped to his nearby rail to celebrate.

Vaysman Takes From Renaud and Latinois

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

Robert Renaud opened to 400,000 from the hijack and was called by Malo Latinois on the button and Justin Vaysman in the big blind.

Action checked through on the Q109 flop and it was checked to Latinois on the 6 turn. Latinois bet 850,000 and both Vaysman and Renaud called.

The K river shut down the action as everyone checked.

Vaysman turned over 106 for two pair and both Renaud and Latinois mucked to send the pot Vaysman's way.

"I had aces," Renaud commented as Vaysman collected the pot.

Shundan Xiao opened to 400,000 in middle position and Jonathan Tamayo called in the next seat as Marc Wolpert defended his big blind.

Wolpert and Xiao checked on the flop of 810A and Tamayo bet 400,000. Wolpert check-raised to 1,200,000 and Xiao went deep into the tank before cold-calling, while Tamayo folded.

Wolpert then bet 1,700,000 on the 5 turn and Xiao put him to the test by raising to around 9,000,000. Wolpert had only 2,500,000 behind and opted to hold onto it by folding.

Lopez Takes the Rest of Wolpert's Stack

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

Marc Wolpert raised for all but the last 50,000 in the small blind and Adrian Lopez came along in the big blind to see the 986 flop, on which the last few chips trickled into the middle.

Marc Wolpert: K10 All in
Adrian Lopez: AJ

Lopez was ahead, yet he asked for diamonds to lock up the elimination. The Q turn gave Wolpert more outs with a double gutshot but the A river only improved Lopez to a pair of aces, reducing the field to the last 64 players with another pay jump in sight.

Shylko Dodging the Coolers

Aliaksandr Shylko
Aliaksandr Shylko

Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 400,000 from under the gun and Robert Renaud three-bet to 900,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Shylko, he put in the call.

The dealer put out a flop of 5102 which saw Shylko check-call a bet of 700,000 from Renaud.

Both checked the A turn and the 2 river.

Shylko flipped JJ but Renaud had the winner holding QQ.

"Boom!" shouted Shylko as he moved his arms and body in a way that shows him dodging things.

"I should go broke preflop. I should go broke on the flop," remarked a very smiley Shylko, who seemed positive despite losing that pot.

Kim Catches Lightning on the River to Eliminate Huang

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Brian Kim
Brian Kim

Xuejun Huang shoved for his last 2,600,000 on the button and was called by Brian Kim in the big blind to put Huang at risk.

Xuejun Huang: JJAll in
Brian Kim: 33

Huang was in great shape to double up and stayed that way on 57Q flop and 5 turn. However, the dealer brought the 3 on the river to improve Kim to a full house, which got a yelp from Huang as his Main Event ended in heartbreaking fashion.
