Nível 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

At Martin Zamani's table, a player in middle position was at risk for his last 22,000 chips against Francis Pasqualino, who called from the big blind.

Middle Position: A♦8♥
Francis Pasqualino: 2♣2♥

The middle-position player had a hand with good odds on J♠J♦9♣10♥, as he was looking for aces and he had a straight draw. Unfortunately for him, the K♥ landed on the river to send him to the rail.

Different Fortunes Against Kim

MaximeTaldir

Nível 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After an open under the gun by Steven Kim, the hijack moved all in for 56,000 chips. Everybody folded to Kim, who called.

Hijack: A♣K♣
Steven Kim: A♠9♠

Even though he was leading preflop and on the flop A♥4♣7♦, the hijack lost everything because of the turn 9♣. The river card was the 2♥, and Kim busted out the player. His stack increased to over 500,000.

On the very next hand, from the big blind, he called another player at risk for 44,000 chips.

Cutoff: A♣J♦
Steven Kim: J♣10♠

This time, Kim wasn't as lucky as in the previous hand because the button stayed in the lead and doubled up on 3♥5♥2♠K♥9♥.

No Bubble Needed

Nível 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

When all dealers were standing up, the floors counted all players remaining. There were 646 of them. And as there were 646 places paid, all players were in the money.

At one table, one player was standing up as he had been eliminated on the last hand. According to the table, Ben Yu opened to 15,000 in middle position. Jeppe Bisgaard called from the hijack, as did the button and the big blind.

The dealer revealed a flop of 7♣Q♥10♦ on the table. Yu continued to 15,000, and Bisgaard called once again. But the button raised to 85,000, keeping only 10,000 chips with him. The big blind folded, as well as Yu. But Bisgaard called.

Button: KxQx
Bisgaard: K♣K♠

A queen, and only a queen, could save the player at risk. But it was the 8♥ and the 9♦ on the river, and the player has been eliminated outside of the money. At this table, Chan Saechao reached the money with a mere 4,000 chips or half of a blind.
