All In Or Nothing

Nível 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

As stacks are getting shorter due to the blinds rising, the smallest stacks are now in a "push or fold" position.

Christian Cheng, Qiang Xu, Richard Smith and even John Ciccarelli are in this situation, so they have moved all in several times preflop, but nobody has called them. As a result, the blinds are simply moving from one stack to another for now.

Richard Smith Eliminated in 5th Place ($91,347)

Nível 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Once again, Richard Smith moved all in from the button for 16,300,000 chips. Christian Cheng folded in the small blind, but Jason Johnson in the big blind quickly called and stood up while revealing his hand.

Richard Smith: Q♥9♠
Jason Johnson: K♠K♥

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♣5♠A♦, which gave a pair of queens to Smith. However, he still needed another queen or a nine to avoid elimination. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't find the cards he wanted on the turn 5♥ and the river 6♣.

Nível 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

From the cutoff, Christian Cheng said "all in" for his 13,600,000 chips. Jason Johnson on the button folded, but John Ciccarelli in the small blind put all his chips in the middle too.

Christian Cheng: J♦7♦
John Ciccarelli: K♠Q♥

Cheng was lucky because he found a pair of jacks on the flop 10♦2♥J♥. The rail asked for a deuce or a four to secure his win. The 2♣ came on the turn, but it was the 3♠ on the river. Nevertheless, this card still helped Cheng, who doubled up.
