Livello 17 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 0 ante

Louis Hillman raised on the button and was three-bet by Philip Sternheimer in the small blind. Action folded back to Hillman, who made it four bets to go. Sternheimer called all in for his remaining stack and hands were revealed.

Philip Sternheimer: K♦10♥
Louis Hillman: A♦5♠

The A♣7♥4♠ flop left Sternheimer drawing slim and the 2♦ turn left him drawing dead. An irrelevant 3♠ completed the board and Sternheimer was eliminated in 18th place.

Livello 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Koray Aldemir was left short in a dust-up with Philip Sternheimer after both of the short stacks got it in against one another. Aldemir had K♣J♠ and Sternheimer had K♠Q♥. The board ran out 5♦A♣J♣10♠4♦ to give Sternheimer the straight and leave Aldemir with 6,000.

On the next hand, Aldemir committed his last 6,000 from the button. Mori Eskandani called and Ben Yu came along from the button.

Both remaining players checked through the 8♥J♣9♥2♦9♦ and the cards were turned up. Yu had A♠3♣, Eskandani had 5♦5♥, and Aldemir had A♦10♦. Eskandani took the pot with nines and fives and Aldemir hit the rail in 21st place for $16,000.

Eric Wasserson Bubbles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Eric Wasserson raised form the hijack and action folded to Yong Wang in the big blind, who three-bet. Wasserson called with a single small bet behind.

The flop came J♥4♥6♥ and Wang bet, which was enough to put Wasserson all in.

Wasserson agonized for some time before eventually committing the last of his chips to the pot.

Eric Wasserson: K♠Q♦
Yong Wang: 9♥9♣

Wasserson was drawing slim, but live.

The A♦ turn gave Wasserson a Broadway draw but the 8♥ river failed to improve Wasserson and eliminated him just shy of the money.

Shimizu Wins With a Flush

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Joe McKeehen raised and Nozomu Shimizu was the lone caller from the big blind.

The flop was 3♠5♠8♣ and Shimizu check-called a bet from McKeehen.

Both players checked the 8♠ turn and the river was J♠. Shimizu checked and then called when McKeehen bet.

"Jack," McKeehen said as he turned over Q♣J♥. "Flush?"

Shimizu indeed had the flush and he turned over Q♦7♠ to take the pot.

McKeehen lost the hand but he has been floating around the 1,000,000 mark as the tournament navigates its way through a long bubble.
