Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Charlie Chiu opened to 85,000 from under the gun and was called by Pei Li from the hijack. Charles He and Andrew Dea called from the blinds.

Action checked to Li on the 8♥2♠2♣ flop, who bet 100,000. He folded before Dea made it 275,000. Chiu returned his cards to the dealer and Li called.

Li then called bets of 250,000 and 400,000 on the Q♥ turn and 3♣ river.

Dea turned over 5♣2♦ for trip deuces and Li mucked.

The 7♦ fell on the turn and both players checked to the 8♦ river. Wilson led for 225,000 and Bonacci made the call. Wilson tabled a busted straight draw with Q♥10♥, and Bonacci showed 2♦2♥ to drag the pot.

Li Gets Sucked Out of the Tournament

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In an earlier post, it was mentioned that Henry Li had been eliminated from the Main Event. He was kind enough to stop by the PokerNews desk to tell how it had happened.

Charles Melton raised to 80,000 from the button and Li three-bet jammed 840,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Melton made the call.

Henry Li: 10♥10♦
Charles Melton: 8x8x

The flop remained clean for Li with A♥K♠9♦, but the turn spelled disaster when the 8♦ gave Melton a set. No ten arrived on the K♥ river and Li was ousted from the tournament.

To add some salt to the wound, someone mentioned they had folded an eight preflop, making Li's bad beat a pure one-outer.

Peppin Celebrates Before It's Over

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Stephen Peppin was down to around 10 big blinds and shoved all in from middle position. Nathan Paytas was next to act and asked for a count before making the call. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were face up.

Stephen Peppin: Q♥Q♦
Nathan Paytas: K♥K♦

Not only did Paytas have the better of the two pairs, but he also had both of the suits covered. The flop came J♣10♠4♦ and Paytas was still in the lead. The Q♠ rolled off on the turn and Peppin clapped his hands to celebrate his set of queens. However, the A♣ hit the river and Paytas made a straight to eliminate Peppin.

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Frank Cucchiara of Next Gen Poker was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Keanu Tabali on a board of 8♥7♥A♠Q♠.

Cucchiara checked on the turn and his opponent bet 215,000. With his phone filming the action, the content creator jammed for his last 300,000 or so. Despite getting an excellent price, Tabali did not immediately call. After about thirty seconds, he did call.

Frank Cucchiara: 10♥7♦
Keanu Tabali: A♦A♥

Cucchiara had just a pair of tens to be drawing dead against the top set of Tabali as the 10♦ river confirmed the elimination of "Frankie."

The flop came A♠2♥8♥. Tosoc bet 45,000 and was called by his opponent.

Tosoc fired again on the 10♦ turn for 70,000 and it was enough to force a fold from Coakley.

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

According to French poker media, Masato Yokosawa soared near the top of the leaderboard a few minutes ago when he knocked out Clay Johnson in a four-bet pot when the latter called a shove on the 7♣6♠2♦3♠ turn with pocket nines. Yokosawa had pocket aces and held on the Q♣ river.

Yokosawa put the new found chips to use with a raise to 85,000 in the cutoff and Robert French defended the big blind. French check-called the A♦10♠3♦ flop for 55,000 and the 4♥ turn for 165,000.

French also checked the J♠ river and Yokosawa bet 400,000. The check-shove by French followed and Yokosawa instantly folded.

"He is human!" Christopher Kimmel in the nine seat exclaimed.
