Newhouse Rebuilds

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

Peter Yang opened to 300,000 from middle position and Darius Samual called from the small blind. Mark Newhouse moved all in for his last 3,525,000 from the big blind and Yang took a while before he made the call. Samual folded and the players went heads up to showdown.

Mark Newhouse: 33All in
Peter Yang: AJ

Newhouse was hoping to hold with pocket threes and the 2109 flop kept him ahead. There was a chance of the backdoor straight for Yang, but the 2 turn and Q river saw Newhouse hold his ground and double up his stack.

Rocco Puts Yepez to Decision

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

This hand was picked up on the turn of a board that read 792J with about 800,000 already in the middle.

Luis Yepez bet 425,000 on the turn from under the gun before Michael Rocco popped it to 1,125,000. Yepez made the call to continue in the hand.

The 3 turn resulted in a check from Yepez before Rocco sized up a large bet and put out 2,700,000. Yepez had 2,600,000 behind, which meant that should he call, he would be doing so for his tournament life.

Yepez went deep into the tank as he agonized over the situation. Yepez eventually threw his cards in the muck as Rocco won the pot wihtout a showdown on the river.

"Did I Pick a Good One?".

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

Yanting Jiang opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Dylan Lew three-bet to 750,000. Action went to Kyle Dishongh on the button, and he opted to jam for his entire 2,650,000.

Jiang made a quick fold, and Lew took some time before he tabled his 1010 but said fold whilst doing so. Another player at the table said "Show one?" to Dishongh and he let the player flip over just the A. The player asked, "Did I pick a good one?".

After seeing the hands, Lew said "I've spent the last two and a half hours folding, and I get two good hands and lose both of them!"

Justin Saliba

Yoon Choi began the action with a raise to 300,000 from early position before Justin Saliba shoved from the next seat over for 675,000. Choi made the call to put Saliba at risk.

Justin Saliba: AKAll in
Yoon Choi: A10

Saliba was well in front, but the flop gave something for each player as it came KQ4 to give Saliba top pair and Choi the flush draw.

The 7 was safe for Saliba, but the river was fatal for his tournament hopes as it came the 2 to give Choi the flush and signal Saliba's exit.

Blind Versus Blind Action Unseats Seaton

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Archibald Seaton shoved from the small blind for 1,430,000 and was called by Kyle Dishongh in the big blind to put Seaton at risk.

Archibald Seaton: Q4All in
Kyle Dishongh: 66

Seaton needed to improve, but the K103 flop gave him little to work with as they entered the final stretch.

Dishongh held on the 5 turn and the A river to eliminate as players went on break.

Raber Rocks Rocco

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Players were already heads-up and fighting for a 1,300,000 pot with Michael Rocco on the button and Jason Raber in the big blind. The full 92254 board was already dealt.

Raber had jammed for his last 995,000 and action was back on Rocco. It took a few minutes for Rocco to decide what to do, but he eventually lifted his hand and threw it into the muck.

Kozieja Falls to Chhabra

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Grzegorz Kozieja
Grzegorz Kozieja

Rogen Chhabra opened from the button before Grzegorz Kozieja put all his chips in for 1,585,000 from the small blind. Chhabra made the call to put Kozieja at risk.

Grzegorz Kozieja: AKAll in
Rogen Chhabra: 1010

It was a classic race between the pair versus the overcards with Kozieja needing to improve to keep his tournament hopes alive.

The 67J flop was of no help to Kozieja as he was drawing to six outs twice.

Chhabra maintained his lead on the 8 turn.

Kozieja would see his final card of the tournament when the 7 peeled on the river to eliminate Kozieja.
