Artur Martirosian and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones exchanged raises preflop that saw the latter all-in for his tournament life.
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: K♠K♣9♥5♠
Artur Martirosian: A♥7♥7♦6♦
Martirosian picked up a huge come-draw on the 4♦5♦10♣ flop, and made his straght on the 3♣ turn. The J♦ then gave him a flush to send out the Welshman.
Yosuke Miki limped in from under the gun and Robert Cowen did the same from the cutoff. Jonathan Depa made it 240,000 from the button and then Sam Soverel jammed for 250,000 from the big blind. Miki and Depa called.
Soverel burst into hysterics when the dealer put out the Q♠J♦7♠ flop. Miki check-folded to Depa's all-in for 690,000.
Sam Soverel: A♠10♠9♥8♥
Jonathan Depa: K♣K♦J♥4♥
Soverel put his hand over the board, blocking Depa's view of the Q♦ turn, and 10♥ river. Soverel earned the checkmark with a straight.
Soverel then let Depa see that he had been outdrawn, much to Soverel's amusement.
"You can't let him do that," Depa said to the dealer, with Soverel still laughing.
Depa's annoyance soon subsided after he took a pot on the flop against Miki the following hand to chip back up slightly.
Jonathan Depa was all-in for 300,000 from under the gun against Joni Jouhkimainen in the next seat.
Jonathan Depa: K♥Q♣Q♥J♦
Joni Jouhkimainen: A♠A♣7♣6♠
The J♠6♦3♥5♦Q♠ runout gave Depa a set of queens to survive.
Jouhkimainen then potted to 140,000 from under the gun one hand later and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez called in the next seat, Depa defended the big blind. The flop brought J♥7♠3♥ and Depa checked, Jouhkimainen bet the pot thereafter. Martinez Gonzalez then raised the pot to force out Depa, while Jouhkimainen called all-in.
Joni Jouhkimainen: A♥K♣10♠2♥
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: Q♠Q♥10♦8♠
The 9♦ turn and 7♣ river brought no escape for the Finn who became the next victim of the post registration rush hour.
Chris Frank and Robert Cowen then limped in and Depa raised the pot to 200,000. Only Frank called and folded when Depa jammed the J♠10♦6♥.
Level: 14
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
The action was picked up on a flop of 10♦K♥6♣ after Artur Martirosian in the big blind raised to 170,000 and the defending champion Shaun Deeb in middle position called.
Martirosian fired 475,000 on the J♦ turn and Deeb called again to find the 3♣ river.
Martirosian asked Deep how much he had behind. Deeb answered that he had 1,060,000, so Martirosian raised for more than that. Deep quickly called.
Shaun Deeb: K♦Q♠Q♥9♣
Artur Martirosian: A♠K♠Q♦Q♣
Martirosian had the best straight and eliminated Deeb.
After calling a bet of 260,000 preflop, Jared Bleznick in the cutoff saw Gergo Nagy in middle position bet on a flop of 7♠Q♥6♦. Bleznick snap-called off his last 355,000.
Jared Bleznick: A♣Q♣Q♠5♦
Gergo Nagy: K♥K♣J♥9♠
The 5♥2♥ runout completed a flush for Nagy and Bleznick was eliminated.
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised to 140,000 from the cutoff. Nino Pansier on the button three-bet all-in for 515,000 and Martinez called.
Nino Pansier: A♦K♣6♥4♦
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♠J♣8♥7♠
Martinez hit quads on a board of J♦4♣J♠J♥2♣ and sent Pansier to the rail.
Caqrlo Van Ravenswoud potted to 140,000 from under the gun and Robert Cowen in the big blind repotted, both then got the chips into the middle preflop with near identical stack sizes.
Robert Cowen: A♠K♣Q♠J♠
Carlo Van Ravenswoud: A♦A♣7♦2♦
The 8♠4♣3♠9♠K♠ board ran out a flush for Cowen and he doubled for 655,000. Van Ravenswoud was left on fumes and forced all-in from the big blind in the next hand.
Brian Rast raised the button to 100,000 and Cowen potted to 340,000, which Rast called. Both checked the J♠8♣7♦ flop before Rast bet the pot for 750,000 on the 5♦ turn, Cowen moved all-in with the covering stack and Rast called.
Carlo Van Ravenswoud: A♦10♣8♠7♥
Brian Rast: 6♦6♥4♥4♣
Robert Cowen: K♣J♣10♦9♠
The flopped nut straight of Cowen had both opponents on the ropes and the K♦ river awarded a double knockout to the Brit.
Lautaro Guerra was dragging in a sizeable double-up, with his Q♣Q♠9♠8♥ besting Koon's A♥A♦9♦2♥ on the 5♠9♣2♠7♠A♠ board.
On the next deal, Brandon Wilson limped in from middle position before Koon did the same on the button. Guerra made it 200,000 from the small blind and only Koon called.
It checked through to the river for the board to read A♠4♠5♥5♠6♥. Guerra checked, and Koon, with 380,000, bet 330,000. Guerra folded.
