Yokosawa Builds Heaps, Kornuth Goes to Dinner Fired Up

Adam Lamers

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Masato Yokosawa opened to 30,000 in middle position and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 90,000 on his left. The action folded back to Yokosawa who called to see a flop of A?9?2?. Yokosawa checked to Kornuth who continued with a bet of 60,000. Yokosawa check-raised to 165,000 and Kornuth called.

The turn was the 6? and Yokosawa led out with a bet of 180,000. Kornuth still called and the 7? completed the board. Yokosawa announced a bet of 500,000 on the river which put Kornuth in the tank. With the rest of the field going on dinner break, Francisco Benitez opted to call the clock after just two minutes.

"You're calling the clock on me when it's dinner break?" Kornuth questioned. "You're just mad because I owned you in a hand."

The floor eventually arrived at the table and gave Kornuth 30 seconds to act. As the timer was expiring, Kornuth announced a call. Yokosawa turned over A?J? for the nut flush and Kornuth slammed his 500,000 chips into the middle.

"You're such a child," Kornuth continued to Benitez. "I'm gonna slow roll the s*** out of you!"

Ryan Lashmar

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Keanu Tabali opened to 30,000 from early position and Doug Polk defended his big blind.

Polk checked the J?10?8? flop and Tabali bet 35,000. Polk briefly considered his options before moving all in for approximately 140,000. Tabali made the call to put Polk at risk.

Doug Polk: K?Q?
Keanu Tabali: A?Q?

Polk was in bad shape against the bigger queen but still had outs in the form of an ace or a nine. Polk did not get what he needed on the J?6? run out and his Main Event run came to an end while Tabali collected the last of his chips.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Cong Pham opened the action with a raise to 35,000 with the Q?9?. He was called by Jason Somerville with the J?J? in the hijack, while Jonathan Dimmig came along from the big blind with the Q?10?.

Dimmig flopped the nuts on J?9?8? and check-called a bet worth 60,000 by Somerville, while Pham got out of the way. Dimmig check-called another 150,000 on the 8? turn and the 6? river completed the board.

Dimmig, who was hiding his face inside a hoodie and behind sunglasses, checked the third street in a row. Somerville now bet 500,000 for most of his opponent's stack. Nearly three minutes of consideration later, Dimmig sent his cards into the muck but left a decent portion of his stack.

Jason Somerville	2,205,000 305,000	305,000

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up with preflop with Heather Alcorn all in and at risk against Iaron Lightbourne who had a covering stack.

Heather Alcorn: A?K?
Iaron Lightbourne: A?A?

Alcorn was in bad shape against Lightbourne's aces and remained so on the 10?8?3? flop. The Q? turn provided some outs to a broadway straight but the 8? river was a brick and Alcorn was sent to the rail while Lightbourne picked up a decent pot.

Andrew Knowles

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action was relayed to PokerNews after the fact. Having just been moved to the table underneath his 2011 Player of the Year banner, Ben Lamb opened the action on the button for 30,000 and Chris Battenfield moved all in for just over 400,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Lamb called for his last 370,000.

Ben Lamb: A?K?
Chris Battenfield: J?J?

It was a classic flip situation, but when the board ran out 10?5?2?7?Q?, it was the jacks for Battenfield that held up to send Lamb to the exit.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Raj Vohra raised it up from under the gun and Cody Daniels defended from the big blind. The flop came 10?9?5? and Daniels started with a check. Vohra continued with a bet and Daniels check-raised all in for his last 230,000 chips. Vohra quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Cody Daniels: 8?6?
Raj Vohra: QxQx

Daniels flopped a straight and flush draw but needed to improve to overcome the pocket queens of Vohra. The turn and river bricked out and Daniels bid his farewell to the table before heading over to do an interview with Jeff Platt. Daniels wished his table good luck and said he was so fond of the experience while they all gave him a round of applause.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby opened to 50,000 with the 10?7? and Jordan Grant called with the K?J? on the button. Gabi Livshitz three-bet to 250,000 out of the small blind with A?10? and Rigby was the only caller.

Livshitz appeared to sign on the J?6?4? flop but barreled for 175,000 anyways, which Rigby switftly called with his ten-high flush draw. Livshitz fired another bet worth 375,000 on the K? turn and Rigby came along to the 9? river, which missed both players.

Livshitz pulled the trigger and pushed all-in for 1,060,000 and Rigby folded.

Livshitz then called a raise by Renan Aziz while on the button with the K?8? and flopped top pair on K?10?7?. Aziz checked with the A?A? for the overpair and then check-called a bet worth 35,000.

The Q? fell on the turn and Aziz checked again. Livshitz made it 60,000 to go and Aziz called as the Q? river then paired the board. Aziz now bet for 55,000 and Livshitz paid it off very reluctantly to lose some of his profit.

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A player had open-raised to 35,000 before Mason Vieth put in a three-bet to 100,000. Darryl Ronconi then four-bet jammed for roughly 200,000 and the initial raiser rejammed for 25,000 more. Vieth called with the covering stack, claiming he would need to get lucky to win.

Darryl Ronconi: A?K?
Opponent: K?Q?
Mason Vieth: 10?6?

Vieth remained alive on the 5?8?2?2? runout and the 6? river sealed the fate of his two opponents. His pair of sixes eliminated them both from the tournament and Vieth increased his massive stack even more.

Luther Drags Five-Bet Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A player opened in middle to 30,000 before Nikita Luther three-bet to 105,000 in the cutoff. The small blind put in a four-bet to 285,000, forcing the middle position out of the hand.

The action was back Luther as she was deciding what to do, and the small blind stared her down. Eventually, Luther put in another raise to 500,000 and the small blind called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7?5?3?, and the small blind check-called a bet of 200,000 from Luther.

When the Q? fell on the turn, the small blind checked once more before Luther announced all in. The small blind asked for a count and went deep into the tank. The dealer let him know it was 1,300,000, covering his stack of about 1,100,000. After about three minutes, a tablemate called the clock, and the floor came with a countdown. At the end of the 30-second countdown, he still had not acted so his hand was ruled dead, sending the pot to Luther.
