Anderson Eliminated by Frank

Livello 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In four-way action to the Q♦J♣5♠ flop, the action checked to Calvin Anderson on the button and he bet the pot, sliding forward 250,000 in chips with fewer than that behind.

Brandon Adams in the small blind used three time bank extensions to fold while Andrew Ige folded swiftly out of the big blind. Christopher Frank moved all-in from under the gun and Anderson called for around 400,000.

Calvin Anderson: K♥Q♣J♥4♥
Christopher Frank: K♦Q♠Q♥7♠

The J♠ turn left Anderson with a single out and the A♥ river ended his run just shy of the money. Iaroslav Boiko was also eliminated to bring the field down to the last 70 contenders.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action made it all the way to the button where recent $10k PLO bracelet winner Lou Garza made it 75,000. The small blind folded and Jeremy Ausmus went into the tank. He thought for a moment before reraising pot, which would put Garza all in. Garza called.

Lou Garza: A♠10♣3♣Q♦
Jeremy Ausmus: A♦K♣7♦8♠

The 8♣5♦3♦J♦5♠ board gave Ausmus the nut flush. Garza would hit the rail before the money and miss out on a back-to-back bracelet opportunity.

Sethi Hits That Other Draw

Livello 16 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action folded to Chance Kornuth on the button who opened the action to 30,000. Vidur Sethi called out of the small blind and Eelis Parssinen called out of the big blind.

The 9♦7♥2♥ flop landed and Sethi checked. Parssinen bet pot for 102,000. Chance got out of the way and Sethi hit the pot button again to put Parssinen all-in. He called and they were off to a turn and river heads-up.

Eelis Parssinen: K♦4♦7♣7♠
Vidur Sethi: A♥Q♣J♠J♥

Sethi was on the nut flush draw and Parssinen was hoping for a board pair with his set of sevens.

The K♠ turn was a relative blank but gave Sethi a gutter to the nut straight. That straight would come in on the 10♠ river. Sethi hit the backdoor draw he needed and Parssinen hit the rail before the money.

On a three-way turn of 10♠2♣7♠10♣, action checked to Brandon Adams who bet 225,000 into the already bloated pot and Daniel Zack made the call while the other player got out of the way.

The river came the 9♠ and Zack checked once more to Adams, who thought for a few moments before he decided to check back as well.

Zack then tabled Q♣10♥9♣6♠ for the nut full house and Adams quickly mucked to award him the pot.

Lau Scores Massive Double Through Soverel

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After multiple limps including Josh Arieh, Sam Soverel, Dylan Weisman and Jordan Spurlin, Ka Kwan Lau raised the pot to 72,000 out of the big blind. Arieh from under the gun and Soverel called as they headed to the Q♦9♣3♠ flop. Lau asked for the size of the pot and then bet 125,000 into 277,000, forcing out Arieh and earning a call from Soverel.

After the 9♦ turn, Lau bet another 175,000 and Soverel came along to the 10♠ on the river. Lau checked with 517,000 behind and chip leader Soverel pulled the trigger by moving all-in.

Lau used three time bank extensions and then called all-in as Soverel flung his Q♥10♥8♦7♦ on the table. Lau had that beat with the K♣J♠10♣7♠ for a king-high straight and earned a huge double.

Despite losing this large pot, Soverel remained not far behind his opponent on the leaderboard.

"You called me with nothing?" Soverel joked.

Lau instantly replied "Nothing, I don't know."

Smith Chipping Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a heads-up river of 2♥6♥8♦J♦A♣, there was around 250,000 in the pot when Ky Nguyen checked over to his opponent Dylan Smith, who then set out a bet of 175,000.

Nguyen then went into the tank for a good while, using two of his time banks to debate this decision.

Before he used his third, Nguyen made the call but was then shown A♠J♥8♥3♦ by Smith for top two-pair and Nguyen mucked his hand.

Two hands later, Michael Russo opened to 27,000 and Smith three-bet to 94,000 and action folded back around to Russo who made the call.

Russo checked the flop of 3♥Q♥A♠ and Smith continued for 100,000. Russo went into the tank before making the call to see the 9♦ on the turn.

Russo checked once more and Smith announced pot for 417,000 and Russo shook his head and hastily mucked.
