Hunichen Moves In

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jungyeon Won was seen betting 65,000 from under the gun on a board of 2637 before Chris Hunichen in the big blind moved all in for approximately 350,000.

According to a player at the table, Won opened preflop and was called by the blinds. He continued for 16,000 on the flop, but Hunichen check-raised to 42,000 and was called to find the turn.

After a very long moment, Won eventually folded, leaving the pot to Hunichen.

Atchison Tests, Oliveira Passes

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There was a large pot brewing with 125,000 in the middle on the river as Naiquel Oliveira from the big blind and Eric Atchison from the hijack saw a completed board of 973K8.

Oliveira faced a decision for his tournament life, facing an all-in from the covering stack of Atchison. With 125,000 left in his stack, Oliveira made the call to put himself at risk.

Naiquel Oliveira: J10 All in
Eric Atchison: A10

Oliveira backdoored the third-nut flush while Atchison went for the courageous bluff with the dry ace of clubs, and a massive pot was sent in the direction of Oliveira.

Big Slick Wins Flip for Tschernia

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was picked up preflop, with Arnaud Mattern facing a tough decision. With significant action already having taken place, Jerome Finck moved all in for 42,000 from the small blind. Early position opener Paul Tschernia had then rejammed for 110,000, leaving Mattern on his left in a spot. After a bit of thought, he folded AQ face up.

Jerome Finck: 1010 All in
Paul Tschernia: AK

The 43K flop fired Tschernia into an immediate lead. The 64 runout did nothing to change that, and Mattern was happy to have made the correct decision.

From Starting as Chipleader to Starting Over

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gaspar Fernandez
Gaspar Fernandez

From the big blind, Day 2abc chipleader Gaspar Fernandez tossed a bet of 45,000 on the completed board of 96246. Shane Carreja quickly looked him up with a call.

Fernandez tabled Q6 for trip sixes, but it was no good as Carreja had turned a straight with 53 to take the pot.

Fernandez was left with exactly a starting stack, still worth 20 big blinds at this point in the Main Event.

Lampropoulos Spikes Turn to Double

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Alexander Lampropoulos went for it when he jammed for 33,500 on the button. Anirudh Seth woke up with a hand he was willing to call with in the big blind to put Lampropoulos at risk for his tournament life.

Alexander Lampropoulos: J10All in
Anirudh Seth: K9

Seth flopped best when the dealer fanned out 965 to maintain his lead.

The turn was all Lampropoulos, however, when it came the J to give him top pair. Lampropoulos was not out of the woods yet, as Seth had plenty of outs with a flush draw.

That did not come to pass on the 4 river and Lampropoulos held to secure the double-up.

Bagley Sends Sewell Home

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ronald Sewell limped from early position and his neighbor Martin Zamani called. Keith Bagley was in the cutoff and raised to 13,000, and both players called.

The 84A flop saw Sewell and Zamani check. Bagley bet 22,000 and Sewell jammed for his remaining 48,000. Zamani got away quickly, but it took a little while for Bagley to make the call.

Ronald Sewell: 67All in
Keith Bagley: JJ

Sewell flipped over his hand and quickly stood up from the table. He was hunting for the gutshot straight, and up against Bagley's pocket jacks.

With the 3 turn and 10 river completing the board, Sewell was eliminated from the main event. After the hand, Bagley let out a sigh of relief and said, "It didn't feel good in the middle there with that Ace."

Assorted Counts in Paris Black

Moryousef Knocks Out Mizrachi and Ulhaq

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Paul Mizrachi
Paul Mizrachi

Three players vaulted out of their seats with Usman Ulhaq and Paul Mizrachi up against Ludovic Moryousef, with the latter two holding near-identical stack sizes right in front of the feature table area.

Usman Ulhaq: 22 All in
Paul Mizrachi: AK All in
Ludovic Moryousef: QQ

Mizrachi predicted the deuce to come for Ulhaq, which it did on the 7332 turn. However, there was another twist to the story as the river brought the Q to propel Moryousef back into the lead.

"Most overrated hand in poker," James Kohl mentioned while the chips were being counted.

"Please tell me I still have chips," Mizrachi said, but that wasn't the case as his 229,000 was covered by Moryousef's 241,000.

Mizrachi left the table with a smile on his face despite his elimination and even took a selfie with Moryousef before they parted ways.

"That is a gentleman right there. His dad is the same," Kohl added after he had shaken the hand of Mizrachi on the way out.
