Himmelbrand Soaring Up the Counts

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

A player open-jammed for their remaining 940,000 from early position and Greg Himmelbrand looked him up from the small blind.

Early Position: A10 All in
Greg Himmelbrand: AQ

Himmelbrand was in good shape with the dominating ace as the J42 flop offered no help to either player. The board ran out 82, leaving Himmelbrand's hand best as his kicker played to score a knockout.

Weng Finds a Double

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Bin Weng limped from the small blind and Bijay Lama checked his option in the big blind.

On the 852 flop, it was unclear whether or not Weng had led, but Lama had 200,000 in front of him. Weng responded with a raise to 570,000.

After some deliberation, Lama announced all in as the covering stack and Weng snapped off his 1,520,000 stack.

Bin Weng: 1010 All in
Bijay Lama: 97

Lama went for the bluff with his gutshot straight draw, but he was in terrible shape against Weng's tens. The 9 turn gave more outs to Lama, but the 8 river paired the board, leaving Weng's tens best for the full double.

Neri showed KQ for trips, but Soares had AQ and was ahead with his ace-kicker. The river was the 2, and Soares earned the double up.

Bob Russo: A10 All in
Opponent: AK

Russo found himself dominated going to the flop, which came K89. The turn was the J, while the Q fell on the river to give Russo a straight and the double up.

At the same time at another table, Bin Weng related that Tom Matacale just doubled up when his A10 made a royal flush against ace-jack.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Will Failla opened to 125,000 from middle position and was called by the hijack.

On the 1095 flop, Failla led for 150,000 and his opponent called.

Failla led again on the 8 turn for 250,000, earning another call as Failla advised, "Your ten is no good."

On the 3 river, Failla fired a final bet of 300,000, getting a quick fold from his opponent.

"Three of diamonds not the card you're looking for?" Failla joked as he collected another pot, becoming the largest stack in the room currently.

Liddell Shoves The Turn

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Three players saw a Q74 flop in a single-raised pot as the under the gun player bet 210,000. Maxwell Liddell called in the cutoff and Peter Sennon got out of the way from the big blind.

On the Q turn, the under the gun player bet 325,000 before Liddell jammed for his remaining 1,260,000, sending his opponent into the tank.

"Do you want a call here?" Liddell's opponent asked.

Liddell took off his AirPods and announced, "I'll show. Well, not right now," before his opponent ultimately decided to let it go.
