Kassouf Flips to a Double

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Chao Wu opened second-to-act before Will Kassouf put his final 26,000 into the middle from the small blind, and Wu called.

Will Kassouf: 66 All in
Chao Wu: AJ

The flop rolled out KQ4 as Wu picked up a gutter to go along with his overs.

"Always a sweat," Kassouf commented as the 7 came on the turn.

The sweat was real, but the 8 river left Kassouf's sixes best, and he secured the full double, back to exactly starting stack.

"Six bigs and a dream," he said as he stacked up the newfound chips.

Brunson Cracks Bullets to Stay Alive

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Todd Brunson
Todd Brunson

Dan Stavila made it 9,000 to play from early position, only for Todd Brunson, sat in middle position, to three-bet to 27,000. Action folded to Philip Sandlin in the big blind who four-bet all in.

Stavila folded quickly and Brunson made the call for his tournament life.

Todd Brunson: KK All in
Philip Sandlin: AA

Just what Brunson ordered came on the 2K7 flop and he soared into the lead. No ace for Sandlin on the 9 turn nor the 10 river and Brunson was shipped the pot for a double-up and more.

Chu Wins One Three Ways

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Ioli made it 8,000 to go from the cutoff, and received calls from both Ning Chu and Carlos Diosa in the blinds.

The 744 flop checked through to the 5 turn, at which point Chu led out for 10,000. Diosa slid forward a raise to 27,000, which brought a fold from Ioli. Chu, however, stuck around.

Action then went check-check on the 5 river, and Chu's 76 was good for the pot.

Adrien Delmas
Adrien Delmas

Cody Brinn had moved all in from the small blind and in the big blind, Adrien Delmas called for his last 71,000.

Adrien Delmas: K10 All in
Cody Brinn: AQ

The board ran out Q54JA and the flopped flush gave Delmas the pot while Brinn was left with just a single T-1,000 chip.

Holacka Finishes Off Berger

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

James Holacka raised from the hijack and Asa Berger jammed for 28,000 from the button. Holacka called, and the cards were tabled.

Asa Berger: AJ All in
James Holacka: J10

Berger was in great shape with the better kicker and looked destined for a double-up after the 72J flop and 5 turn.

However, the poker gods had other ideas as the 10 rolled off on the river, giving Holacka two pair to win the pot and bring Berger's Main Event run to an end.

Reser Escapes Again; Zhu Is Outta Here

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jayden Zhu pushed all in from under the gun for 43,000 and Mason Reser called all in for 35,000. All other players folded.

Mason Reser: QQ All in
Jayden Zhu: A8

"It should be illegal for him to stand up like that," Reser joked to one of the oldest tricks in poker - getting ready to leave and getting there. The QJ5 flop gave Reser top set and the 9 turn saw Zhu walk towards the exit, the 7 river was a blank. Zhu had 8,000 chips left and was called back to being forced all in from the big blind.

Alexis Hayek raised to 8,000 and Julian Altieri called from the small blind. On the A83 flop, Altieri check-called for 4,000 and did so again for 10,000 on the 7 turn. Zhu had had enough and grabbed his belongings already to walk towards the exit for real this time even before the A came on the river.

Altieri checked again, Hayek bet 40,000 and isolated successfully to show his A7 for aces full of sevens. Zhu's 52 were briefly exposed but he was already out of the Grand Ballroom by then.
