Cho Hits the Exit

Erick Torres

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Wooram Cho opened to 500,000 from under the gun, but Luis Yepez wanted to play for more as he jammed from the big blind with enough to cover his opponent. Cho put it all on the line to put himself at risk for approximately 2,000,000.

Wooram Cho: Q♣J♥ All in
Luis Yepez: J♣J♦

Yepez had Cho's hand dominated, and needed a friendly five-card runout to secure the knockout.

Cho failed to find much on the 10♣2♠2♣ flop.

The 3♠ turn was much ado about nothing, and the 3♥ river was a brick as Cho was eliminated in 19th place. Cho earned $47,045 for his finish.

Dylan Lew opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Kyle Dishongh was all in for his last 525,000 from the hijack. Chahn Jung four-bet to 1,300,000 on the button and Lew mucked his hand.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Petre Ionescu opened the action by betting 325,000 from the hijack, and Kyle Dishongh called on the button. Chahn Jung also called from the small blind, and Yanting Jiang defended her big blind.

The 10♣K♦8♦ flop saw action check to Ionescu, and he bet 450,000. Dishongh raised to 1,200,000, and both Jung and Jiang folded. Ionescu went into the tank before moving all in for 2,475,000, and Dishongh called.

Petre Ionescu: K♥K♣ All in
Kyle Dishongh: A♦9♦

Dishongh remarked, "You said it wasn't kings!" after the hands were tabled and the pair looked to the board to see the runout.

Ionescu improved further, while Dishongh was left with just 525,00 when he missed his flush draw after seeing the 5♥ turn and 6♣ river be placed.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The action of this hand was recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.

Michael Rocco began with an open on the button to 300,000. Roberto Romanello three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind before Jason Raber responded with a four-bet all-in from the big blind. Rocco got out of the way with a fold, but Romanello called to put Raber at risk.

Jason Raber: AxKx All in
Roberto Romanello: 10♥10♦

Raber needed to hit his overcards to overcome the pocket tens of Romanello, but they never arrived on the 7♦4♦7♠8♥9♣ runout to show Raber the exit during the penultimate level of Day 3.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

This hand was picked up on a flop of 5♦2♠6♦ with approximately 750,000 in the middle. Eric Tsai checked his option from the big blind before Peter Yang put out a bet of 300,000 from the cutoff.

Tsai check-raised to 900,000 in response. Yang announced all-in, and Tsai called for 2,400,000 to put his tournament at stake.

Eric Tsai: Q♦7♦ All in
Peter Yang: A♠4♦

Yang was ahead with ace high, but Tsai had plenty of outs with his flush draw and could pair up to take the lead.

Yang paired his ace on the A♣ turn, and Tsai whiffed his flush draw on the K♥ river to eliminate him from contention.

Erick Torres

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Luis Yepez clashed with Jason Raber as Yepez got his chips in the middle preflop from middle position against Raber out of the big blind position to be at risk.

Luis Yepez: 7♠7♥ All in
Jason Raber: A♣K♥

Yepez needed to fade some overcards. The flop brought two overcards, but Raber hadn't paired up yet when the dealer spread out 10♦J♥3♦ to keep Yepez in the lead. Raber did gain a straight draw with two cards to come.

The 9♦ was safe for Yepez, and the 9♣ river paired the board to award him the double up and leave Raber searching for one himself as his stack shrank.
