Nessar Goes Runner Runner to Survive

Jeff McMillan

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were some celebrations and shouts from the corner of the room, which is expected with multiple final tables going on inside the horseshoe but upon closer inspection this celebratory cheering outburst was not coming from a final table but from a table in Level 2 of the Main Event.

The board told the story as it showed 6?10?8?2?2?. Bradley Nessar's winning hand of 8?8? had made runner-runner boat to upend the 9x7x flopped straight of his opponent to keep Nessar alive as he continued to celebrate with along with a bit of a rail supporting him.

Action was retold that Nessar had bet 6,000 on the flop, his opponent had raised to 15,000 and Nessar moved all in when he was snap-called to make it look like he was going to be eliminated before the savior ducks on the turn and river.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Abby Merk raised from the cutoff, receiving calls from David Williamson on the button and Assaf Zeharia, in the big blind.

The 10?7?4? flop saw the action check to Merk, who continued for 800. Both opponents called.

The 8? turn saw Zeharia check. Merk bet again, this time for 2,500. Williamson put in a raise to 6,000 and Zeharia called. The action was back on Merk who bumped it up to 18,000. Williamson stepped aside and Zeharia moved all in.

Merk went deep into the tank, eventually making the call for her tournament life.

Abby Merk: 6?5? All in
Assaf Zeharia: J?9?

Both players had turned a straight, but Zeharia had the superior of the two holdings. The K? river couldn't save Merk and she was sent to the rail.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Brad Owen was recently eliminated during Level 2 of the Main Event.

According to his former tablemates, a player in middle position opened and was called by Alvaro Vasquez in the next seat over. Brad Owen then three-bet to 3,500 in position, folding out the original raiser while Vasquez made the call.

On the rainbow 8?7x5x flop Vasquez checked, Owen bet 4,500, Vasquez raised to 11,000 and Owen called.

Vasquez moved all in on the 4? turn and Owen, who had about 40,000 behind and was covered, made the call and was at risk.

Brad Owen: K?9? All in
Alvaro Vasquez: 9?9?

Vasquez was ahead with his overpair but Owen still had several outs in the form of any club or king while a six would chop the pot. The 2? river was a brick and Owen was sent to the rail early in the day while Vasquez picked up a sizable early pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Robbie Schiffbauer in the small blind had a raise of 2,200 in front of him before the big blind reraised to 6,000. Schiffbauer called and they went heads-up to the J?J?8? flop.

The big blind then bet 7,000 and Schiffbauer came back with a raise to 25,000. His opponent took a minute before moving all in for around 38,000, and Schiffbauer snap-called.

All-In Player: A?A? All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: J?10?

Schiffbauer had flopped trips to leave his opponent's aces needing help to remain alive in the Main Event. The 10? turn improved Schiffbauer to a full house, while the river came the 5?.

The unfortunate player stopped to snap a photo of the board before making his exit early on Day 1a.

Yizhak Yerushalmi opened to 600 from under the gun and was called by Daniel Hachem in the hijack before Rob Kuhn three-bet to 3,000 from the button. Both Yerushalmi and Hachem made the call.

Action checked around to Kuhn who fired a 2,500 continuation bet on the K?8?7? flop. Yerushalmi made the call while Hachem got out of the way.

Kuhn bet again when checked to on the 6? turn, this time for 7,000. Once again Yerushalmi called.

On the 6? river Yerushalmi checked, Kuhn shoved for his remaining stack of 23,300 and Yerushalmi made the call. Kuhn tabled K?K? for kings full of sixes to score a full double up at Yerushalmi's expense.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Around 15,000 was in the pot as Andreas Wagner and Joshua Terebelo went heads up to a flop of A?K?9?.

Terebelo had a bet of 16,000 in front of him from under the gun before Wagner raised to 45,000 in the big blind.

"If you had aces, why would you do that? I can't believe I'm thinking about folding this," Terebelo said as he spent several minutes in the tank. He eventually folded and Wagner allowed him to choose one of his cards. Terebelo flipped over the K?.

"If the other one was a king and you just call the turn, you get it all on the river. I had a set of nines," Terebelo told him.

"Report that shit," he added as Wagner took down the big pot that could've been much larger.

As reported back to PokerNews by both David Williamson and Jon Pardy, Travis Darroch was eliminated on the very first hand of play at their table.
