Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

[Removed:422] limped in and then called a pot-sized raise by Alex Foxen for 270,000 from the next seat.

On a flop of 8♦6♠4♣, Soyirgaz jammed for 385,000 and Foxen called.

[Removed:422]: K♣K♠Q♠J♠
Alex Foxen: A♠K♦J♦8♠

The 2♠ turn and 10♣ river secured the double for Soyirgaz to leave Foxen with just 185,000 in chips.

Foxen opened to 180,000 one hand later and Danny Hannawa defended the big blind, then tossed in a single chip on the J♣9♥2♦ flop for Foxen to call all-in.

While they waited, Hannawa was asked "have so many people ever cheered for you, Danny?" Once the other tables completed the action, the cards were revealed.

Alex Foxen: A♦Q♠5♠3♣
Danny Hannawa: J♥9♦8♣7♥

Hannawa was ahead with two pair and made a straight on the 10♣ turn and 10♦ river runout. Foxen was out before the money while $25,000 PLO High Roller bubble boy Hannawa retained his chances of a deep run.

Livello 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Anthony Marsico raised to 150,000 from under the gun and the action folded to start-of-day chip leader Alex Foxen in the big blind. After a while, he made the call and the two subsequently checked through the J♦J♣5♥ flop.

The turn double-paired the board with the 5♠. Foxen now led out for 155,000, upon which Marsico responded by going all-in, covering Foxen's 655,000 stack. Foxen snap called and the cards were tabled.

Alex Foxen: Q♦J♠9♥9♠
Anthony Marsico: A♦A♣9♣6♣

Foxen flopped trips and when no ace came on the 7♠ river, he doubled up.

Livello 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 210,000 and was called by Matthew Wantman before Sam Soverel, on the button, potted to 930,000.

"How could I not bust this hand," Soverel said as Lonis called. Wantman got out of the way and the flop came 2♦9♣Q♣. Lonis immediately put Soverel all in, and Soverel called for his last 430,000.

Sam Soverel: A♦Q♥10♠9♥
Jesse Lonis: 9♦8♥6♥5♥

Soverel was ahead with two pair as the board ran out J♥7♥, improving him to a straight and securing his double up near the money bubble.

"You really went for it, dude," tablemate Noah Schwartz told him following the hand.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With the cards already on their backs, Chance Kornuth was all-in with a short stack and up against PLO specialist Jonas Kronwitter.

Chance Kornuth: K♠Q♥J♥6♠
Jonas Kronwitter: Q♣9♦7♣3♦

The 10♣2♦2♥ flop changed nothing just yet but Kronwitter pulled into a narrow lead with the 9♠ turn. Kornuth still had a full wrap at his disposal but bricked the A♦ river.
