It was a four-bet all in and call between Erick Lindgren and Andrey Kirillov. Lindgren had and his opponent from Russia double-suited for around 10 big blinds. Kirillov picked up a pair and a straight draw on the flop but was unable to improve further on turn and river, sending him to the payout desk in the very last hand of the level.
After a limped pot to the three-way flop, Erick Lindgren bet 6,000 on the button and Galen Hall check-called out of the big blind. The turn was checked through and Lindgren then bet 16,000 after the river. Hall tossed in a T5000 chip and then acknowledged the full house of his opponent with the words "****, man."
A short-stacked Francisco Izquierdo moved all-in for his last 11,000 and Kevin Saul reraised to 24,000. Millard Hale jammed pot - 90,500 total - leaving himself with 5,000 behind. It was folded back to Saul who went into the tank. "The last one didn't hurt too much. This one would," said Saul, as he mulled over what to do. Ultimately, he decided to make the call and the cards were turned over:
Hale:
Saul:
Izquierdo:
Upon seeing Izquierdo's hand, Saul said, "That's not very good for me." Upon seeing the flop come , Saul resolved, "That's good for me." He now had a spade flush draw. The turn and river were not good, though, as it came and Hale doubled up, Saul moved down to 225,000 in chips and Izquierdo was eliminated.
The turn was checked through between Brandon Paster and Matthew Humphrey and the start-of-the-day chip leader then bet 27,000 on the river. Paster showed the for the nut flush and Humphrey showed before mucking his other two cards.
The three-way action on the flop escalated between James Hoeland, Marcel Vonk and Erick Lindgren. Hoeland as shortest stack was all in for 90,000 after the flop, whereas Vonk had another 154,500 on top of that. Lindgren had them both covered.
Vonk:
Lindgren:
Hoeland:
An incredible setup with something for everyone involved, and the board would complete with the turn and the river. Lindgren lost a massive portion of his stack and Hoeland tripled up. Vonk also got out of the hand with some profit.
Raj Vohra was left very short after a previous battle with Kevin Saul got his last 28,000 in via three-bet shove. Derek Miller looked him up and we had the following showdown:
Vohra:
Miller:
Vohra took the lead after the flop, but the turn saw him in need of a jack or six in order to stay alive. The river completed the board and we are now down to 27 players. A complete redraw will take place and we will get that info up as soon as possible.
