Winter Gets Paid With Rivered Flush

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 2♦Q♦5♥, Sam Laskowitz bet 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Sean Winter in the hijack and big blind Axel Hallay.

All three players checked the 3♥ turn as the K♦ fell on the river.

Hallay and Laskowitz checked once again to Winter, who this time fired out 161,000. Hallay used his last time bank card before he called, while Laskowitz frowned and took a last look at his cards before mucking.

Winter turned over 10♦9♦ for a rivered flush to take the pot.

Eskenazi Forces Out Koon in Four-Way Pot

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of 9♠4♠9♦ as John Hennigan bet 40,000 from the hijack and Scott Eskenazi called on the button. Jason Koon, in the small blind, then raised to 95,000 and big blind Justin Liberto got out of the way.

Hennigan also folded, but Eskenazi stuck around to see the K♦ turn. Koon slowed down and checked before Eskenazi fired out 115,000. Koon flung his cards up in the air and into the muck as Eskenazi took down the pot.

"Did I want a spade," he asked Eskenazi. Tablemate Bin Weng claimed he saw the 10♣ in Koon's hand when he mucked.

"You did see a black ten," Koon replied.

D'Ambrosio Holds on to Double Off Schutten

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brek Schutten raised to 25,000 from the button and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind. Jimmy D'Ambrosio, from the big blind, then moved all in for around 105,000, Schutten reraised, and Negreanu got out of the way.

"Protection," D'Ambrosio said as he turned over A♥8♠. Schutten had K♣Q♦ and needed to improve to secure the knockout but found no help on the 10♥3♠3♦5♠7♥ board as D'Ambrosio doubled up.

Ruan Calls Off With Third Pair

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With around 130,000 in the pot on a board of 3♠A♣8♦J♠, Brock Wilson bet 125,000 from the small blind as action went on Zhuang Ruan in the cutoff.

Ruan went through three time bank chips before he called for the last of his chips with K♥8♥ for a pair of eights. Wilson, though, had A♦10♠ for top pair and held on through the J♣ river to send Ruan to the rail.

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Samuel Laskowitz raised to 20,000 from early position and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind. Lichtenberger checked when the flop came J♦5♦10♥, Laskowitz bet 18,000, and Lichtenberger called.

Lichtenberger checked again when the K♣ hit the turn, leading Laskowitz to bet 53,000, eliciting a call from Lichtenberger.

The 5♣ came on the river. Lichtenberger checked to Laskowitz, who bet 140,000, then cinched his brown hoodie and burrowed deep inside. Lichtenberger gave the bet a long consideration from inside his orange hoodie before mucking.

Soverel Doubles as Wolff Gets Away

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

George Wolff raised to 25,000 from the under the gun before Sam Soverel moved all in for 247,000 next to act. Action folded to Espen Jorstad in the small blind and he reshoved.

Wolff, with around 350,000 behind, went through three time bank cards before letting out a deep sigh and folding.

Sam Soverel: 10♣10♠
Espen Jorstad: A♠Q♣

Soverel was racing for his tournament life and remained in front on the 2♦4♠4♦6♥8♥ board to double through the Main Event champion.

Wolff later admitted he would've been second best. "I beat his hand," he told Soverel, saying he would've beaten Jorstad.

Livello 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mitchell Halverson three-bet to 85,000 out of the small blind and Ren Lin called in the hijack.

The flop came Q♣6♥3♣ and Halverson continued for 97,000. Lin quickly called as the 7♦ fell on the turn. Halverson this time moved all in for 281,000.

"Ace-king," Lin asked as he mucked. "Ay, ay, ay, show one time," he added as Halverson returned his cards face down to the dealer.

"Ace-queen right in the muck. What a tight player," tablemate Justin Saliba said to Lin after the hand.

"I folded ace-queen. I folded the best hand," Lin replied as he began slapping his hand.

John Riordan was all in for 105,000 on a board of Q♣7♦A♣J♣4♥ against Andrew Lichtenberger. When asked their holdings, Lichtenberger said he had A♠9♠.

"Hah, I had the computer hand, Q♥7♠." said Riordan. The computer hand's flopped two pair was good enough to beat Lichtenberger's pair of aces and double up Riordan.
