Liebeskind Scooped Twice to Bust

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 15 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

With one bet each three ways to the 10♠5♦4♥4♠ turn, the action was checked through and the J♦ fell on the river. Ben Lamb bet and Jake Liebeskind called. Lamb tabled his A♠K♠K♦8♠ for kings up and Liebeskind mucked the AxJx7x2x.

Shortly after on a four-way flop of A♦Q♠5♠, it checked to James Chen (US) and he bet for James Obst, George Wolff and Liebeskind to call. After the 5♥ turn, Obst and Liebeskind check-called a bet by Chen once more with the latter being all-in for the last few chips.

That led to the K♣ river on which Obst checked. Chen bet once more and the Aussie reluctantly folded.

Chen tabled his Q♥Q♣J♣9♠ for queens full of fives and the A♥10♥10♠7♥ of Liebeskind was no good as he hit the rail. Moments later, Mike Matusow lost his last few chips to Zachary Freeman and the field was reduced to the last 36 hopefuls with 32 spots paid.

Livello 15 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

It was heads-up by the river in a hand between Craig Chait and David Williams on a board that read 9♥J♣10♠5♦4♠.

Chait checked to Williams who put out a bet, which Chait was deliberating on whether to call, or not.

"Are you bluffing me?" Chait asked Williams, who declined to answer. Chait put in the call and Williams showed down A♥10♥9♣3♥ for two pair.

"I guess you were being honest," Chait said before mucking.

Christopher Stephan raised from early position and was three-bet by Jay Kerbel on the button. Stephan called and the two players saw a flop of J♠3♠3♦.

Stephan lead out and then called a raise by Kerbel. The 10♠ hit the turn and this time both players checked.

The dealer peeled the 6♣ on the river and Stephan's bet was called by Kerbel, who mucked after Stephan tabled Q♣9♦6♠5♠ for a flush.

Without any betting action on the K♣Q♦4♠ flop and J♠ turn, James Obst then bet the 6♣ on the river. George Wolff called instantly to get shown the A♣K♦6♠Xx by Obst, which he had beat with the A♥10♣4♥2♣ for broadway.

Ichinose Eliminated by Yass

Livello 15 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Kosei Ichinose had previously survived an all-in showdown to chip up by a small margin and then got it in with the A♠K♥J♥3♥ against fellow short stack Robert Yass.

The latter revealed the K♣Q♦7♣2♦ and made superior two pair on the K♠9♦8♠7♥3♦ board, as Ichinose's rivered kings and treys were no good.

On the tail end of a three-way pot to the 8♣6♣4♣J♥9♣ river, the action was checked through between Alan Sternberg, Damjan Radanov and Steve Chanthabouasy.

Sternberg's A♠8♥5♣2♠ for the nut low chopped with the A♣Q♥J♦2♦ of Chanthabouasy, as Radanov's A♥8♦4♦3♣ had two pair for the high portion of the pot.

Sam Farha raised from early position and was called by Christopher Stephan in middle position. The two players would check down a board of Q♥6♠10♣Q♣, when Farha put out a bet on the 8♥ river.

Stephan quickly called and Farha lamented, "you just call everything?" "I have nothing," and tabled A♦5♠4♥2♦ for ace high, while Stephan showed down A♣K♣9♥8♦ for a rivered pair of eights.

The dealer dealt out the 6♥ on the river to complete a board of 7♣7♠9♣10♥6♥ and James Chen checked to Ben Lamb, who thought for a moment before putting out a bet.

More for Chait; Five Tables Remain

Livello 15 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Pascal Leyo pondered about his decision on the K♦10♦8♠7♦A♣ river when he had checked and Craig Chait bet on the button. The Frenchman then mentioned that the ace was a bad card and mucked the 10♣10♠ face-up. "I also had a low but you probably had a better one," Leyo added.

In the meanwhile, Robert Campbell was eliminated by David Williams when he could not beat the K♦9♦9♥6♦ on a board of K♥9♠2♣Q♠J♥. Ari Engel followed to the rail shortly after to reduce the field to 39 hopefuls.
