Nguyen Chips Up, Knocks Out Kim

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action started with a raise from the player in late position, which Tommy Nguyen three-bet from the hijack. Yoon Kim was in the cutoff and went all in. Late position folded and Nguyen called.

Yoon Kim: A♦Q♣ All in
Tommy Nguyen: Q♠Q♦

Kim commented he needed to get lucky and got some options on the J♥10♦9♣ board. Both players flopped an open-ender and Kim said he will happily take a chop.

The turn 2♥ and river 9♠ did not bring the desired straight for Kim, however, and he was eliminated.

Livello 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cristian Stival moved almost all in from the cutoff for 495,000 and Ben Gazzola big blind announced, "Call" but put in 600,000 and Stival flipped over his cards. The big blind stated, "I just called."

Stival said, "Oh well, my cards are up."

The flop came out with 7♦Q♥5♥ and Stival pushed in his last 100,000 out of turn and Gazzola called.

Cristian Stival: K♦10♦ All in
Ben Gazzola: A♥10♣

The turn 8♦ and river Q♣ gave Gazzola the best hand with a pair of queens with his ace-kicker.

Livello 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action started with a raise from the cutoff to 120,000. Andrew Kelsall went all in on the button for a bit over 400,000. David Cabrera Polop then reraised all in from the small blind. The big blind and the cutoff folded.

Andrew Kelsall: K♥7♣ All in
David Cabrera Polop: A♣Q♦

The flop was great for Polop; it was 6♣10♥A♥ giving him top pair.

The turn 6♥ gave Kelsall a flush draw, but it didn’t come in on the river. The river was the 10♠ and Kelsall was eliminated.
