Hillman Rebuilding

Nível 26

Louis Hillman has been battling a short stack and after a recent double-up from less than 100,000, he was at risk again shortly after.

Hillman raised on the button and got three-bet by Michael Rodrigues in the small blind. Hillman called, then after Rodrigues drew one, he drew one as well.

Rodrigues bet and got a call from Hillman, and the players each drew one again.

Hillman then faced another bet for his final 60,000 and he put it in the middle.

One card each was still needed and Rodrigues revealed what Hillman would have to beat.

It would be a tall order as Rodrigues showed 8x6x5x3x2x, while Hillman held 7x4x3x2x.

Miraculously, he peeled a 5x to make a wheel and survive in incredible fashion.

Charles Tucker Eliminated in 14th Place ($7,222)

Nível 26

Michael Rodrigues raised in the hijack and got three-bet by a short-stacked Charles Tucker in the cutoff. Action folded back to Rodrigues, who just called, leaving Tucker with 30,000 behind.

Each player drew two and after Rodrigues checked, Tucker committed his final chips, which Rodrigues called.

Rodrigues drew one, while Tucker still needed two. On the final draw each drew one then revealed what they were drawing to.

Charles Tucker: 6x4x3x2x/Xx
Michael Rodrigues: 8x7x4x3x/Xx

Rodrigues revealed first, drawing a 9x, meaning Tucker needed any nine, eight, or seven to survive.

Unfortunately for him, he peeled another 4x, eliminating him from the tournament.

Chip Leader Damm Puts Schneider on the Short Stack

Nível 27

Picking action up on the first draw, Tom Schneider drew two from early position while Josh Damm took three on the button.

Schneider then check-called a bet from Damm from his dwindling stack. The former WSOP Player of the Year still needed two cards, while Damm only took one.

Schneider then check-called another bet before the final draw, where each player needed one card.

Schneider now led out, leaving himself just 125,000 behind. Damm called and Schneider showed 8x5x4x4x3x for a bluffed pair of fours.

Damm picked him off with Kx7x6x5x3x for the winner to rocket to well over two million chips.
