Pettit Slams Flop for Double

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lawrence Pettit went all-in for his final 30,000 from early position and was called by Jeremy Dresch from the big blind to be at risk as they went to a showdown.

Lawrence Pettit: Q♦J♥All in
Jeremy Dresch: A♦K♥

Dresch had the edge preflop, but that changed rapidly after the first three cards hit the board when the dealer fanned out 10♣9♣K♦ to give Pettit a straight.

The 2♥ turn sealed the deal in favor of Pettit as the meaingless 2♣ hit the river.

Joel Vazquez raised to 5,500 in middle position to see Joao Simao three-bet to 18,000 in late position. In the small blind, Keven Stammen raised to 55,000 to see Vazquez fold, Simao jam for 110,000 effective and Stammen called to put himself at risk.

Keven Stammen: A♠K♠ All in
Joao Simao: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out 9♠6♥4♣8♠J♦ and Simao's queens held up to eliminate the WSOP bracelet winner from the tournament.

Vazquez told Simao as he raked in the pot that he tossed away pocket jacks.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kenneth O'Donnell opened to 5,000 from the hijack before Yurii Zabrodotskyi jammed for 66,000 from the cutoff, and O'Donnell called with the covering stack.

Yurii Zabrodotskyi: A♦10♥ All in
Kenneth O'Donnell: J♥J♦

The Q♣10♠7♦ flop added additional outs for Zabrodotskyi, but the board ran out 2♦2♣, and his Main Event run was cut short by the best hand in poker.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cards were on their backs on the Q♥9♦7♥ flop when Nobuaki Sasaki was all-in and at risk against Jagdeep Singh.

Nobuaki Sasaki: K♥J♥ All in
Jagdeep Singh: Q♦8♦

Sasaki's straight and flush draws had plenty of outs, but the A♣ turn and 8♣ river were not what he was looking for. He quickly snapped a picture of the outcome before heading out of the tournament area.

Cheng Wins the Tug of War

David Neiman was already all in for his last 48,500 from the big blind and covered by Gary Cheng in the cutoff. The pair had just flipped over their cards, and with Neiman at risk, he was standing at the table to watch the runout.

David Neiman: A♥Q♦All in
Gary Cheng: A♦K♣

Neiman was behind, but the Q♣10♠9♦ flop saw him improve to a pair of queens, which held on the 3♠ turn and 4♥ river. Cheng was left with just 33,000 after the hand, and Neiman sat on a more comfortable 100,500.

In the next hand, Cheng moved all in from the hijack and was called only by Neiman in the small blind, leaving the pair to go head-to-head again, but Cheng was the one at risk.

Gary Cheng: 8♥8♦All in
David Neiman: A♣Q♠

Neiman had woken up with ace-queen again, but Cheng already had a pair of eights.

The 8♠5♠3♥ flop saw Cheng improve further with a set.

A A♥ turn brought in a small sweat of Neiman taking back the pot, but Cheng evaded an ace as the 4♣ river was placed, and he retook his stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Picking up the action with roughly 90,000 in the pot and a board dealt to a 7♣Q♠8♥5♥ turn, Timothy Rutherford checked in the small blind. Scott Seiver bet 20,000 in middle position, but had fallen into Rutherford's trap, as he check-raised all in for around 105,000.

Seiver cut a frustrated figure as he toiled over what to do. Ultimately, he chose to release his cards and surrender the pot.

Matthieu Mary raised to 5,000 under the gun. Hugues Girard three-bet to 17,000, which Mary clicked back to 39,000 after some thought. Girard then moved all in, and Moore quickly called off his stack of 125,000.

Matthieu Mary: A♣K♣ All in
Hugues Girard: Q♦Q♣

Mary could not connect on the 8♠8♦10♠5♠J♣ board, sending him to the exit.

Brandon Guldenschuh bet the Q♥8♣4♥ flop for 4,000 but then folded when Guilherme Garcia and Noah Bronstein invested 13,000 each, which led a duo to the K♠ turn. Bronstein bet 14,000, and Garcia opted to fold.

Murphy's Kicker Helps Him Double

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With almost 60,000 already in the middle, David Murphy and James Cedrone were looking at a board of 2♥8♦10♠2♣, where Murphy led for 30,000 from the big blind. Cedrone took a few moments before making the call in middle position.

The 5♠ completed the board, and Murphy wasted little time moving all in, putting Cedrone to the test for his remaining 68,500.

Cedrone let out a loud sigh, stared Murphy down, then stacked up his chips before calling off for his tournament life.

Murphy tabled 10♥4♥ for tens and deuces, but Cedrone had him beat with J♣10♣ to win the pot with the same two pair and higher kicker.

Yi Ye in the hijack jammed for 25,000. Derek Chin in the small blind three-bet all-in for 34,500, and Steven Buckley in the big blind called.

Yi Ye: A♥2♥ All in
Derek Chin: Q♦Q♠ All in
Steven Buckley: A♣K♠

Ye managed to hit a runner-runner flush on a board of 3♥9♣10♣7♥8♥ to survive while Chin scooped the side pot.
