Two at Risk, Both Survive

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

The first of two all-ins on separate tables saw Pablo Roman all in from the big blind preflop for 439,000, and he was at risk against Matthew Ahern on the button.

Pablo Roman: KK All in
Matthew Ahern: QQ

The 7109A8 runout was clean for Roman, seeing him survive the encounter.

A couple of tables over, Anh Do was all in and at risk versus Alex Foxen with a board dealt to a 10798 turn.

Anh Do: 1010 All in
Alex Foxen: A9

Do needed to avoid a spade river, and he did exactly that when the K completed the board, seeing the Main Event bubble continue.

Lapka Battles with Najor on the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Dillon Najor was in the cutoff and already in a hand with Justin Lapka in the small blind. It was the stone bubble, and the pot stood at 70,000. They were looking at a 108K10 board, and Najor had bet out 36,000. Lapka raised to 70,000, and Najor was in the tank.

Najor eventually made the call, and the 5 river fell. Both played it safe and checked to showdown with Najor showing AK for kings-up, which was enough to take the pot after Lapka tabled his QJ for the missed straight draw.

Vieth Jams Into Lombard on the Stone Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mason Vieth
Mason Vieth

With at least two all-in and calls visible already, the camera crew was on table 182 with Nicholas Hellmuth on a short stack out of the small blind. Anthony Lombard raised to 16,000 and was called by Mason Vieth on the button and Josue Aguirre in the big blind. On the 644 flop, Lombard's bet of 20,000 was called by Vieth only, and they headed to the K turn.

Lombard bet 65,000 and Vieth called, albeit reluctantly, as they went to the Q river. Lombard fired a bet of 250,000, and Vieth pushed all in for 705,000. He was covered by Lombard, who asked for a count and went deep into the tank for several minutes before he opted to fold.

Velozo Gets a Bubble Double

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Gonzalo Velozo moved all in for his last 61,000 from under the gun and was called by Gary Cheng in middle position to be put at risk.

Gonzalo Velozo: KKAll in
Gary Cheng: 88

The 6710 flop gave Velozo a bit of a sweat as it improved Cheng to a straight draw in addition to his set outs, but the 10Q turn and river bricked out — awarding Velozo a double-up on the stone bubble.

Banducci Puts Richards Into the Blender

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9J10 with 130,000 already in the pot, Michael Banducci in the cutoff bet 50,000. Jessica Richards in middle position check-called.

She checked the J turn, and Banducci decided to go all-in. With roughly 360,000 behind, Richards went into the tank for two minutes but ultimately folded.

The flop came 7810 and Marcus continued for 22,000. Storie called, and the A fell on the turn.

Marcus then bet 30,000, and Storie again called. Storie checked to Marcus for a third time on the 6 river, and Marcus checked back.

Inman Rivers It

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Andreas Staschewski in the big blind and Jared Inman in middle position had collected 200,000 in the pot when they reached the 29572 river.

Staschewski checked to Inman, who bet 40,000. Staschewski called, prompting Inman to table KJ for a flush.

Staschewski took some time saying goodbye to his hand before he forfeited with a muck.

Lindemann Sees One Hand of Day 4

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Evan Lindemann

In the first hand of the day, Chris Hunichen was on the button and opened to 21,000. Karanvir Singh three-bet to 58,000 from the small blind, and Evan Lindemann was forced all in for his last 5,000 in the big blind. Hunichen made the call, and the players saw the 929 flop.

Both checked to see the 10 turn, and Singh bet 40,000. Hunichen made a quick call, and the 4 completed the board. Singh bet 140,000, and Hunichen called, and the players were sent to showdown with Lindemann about to see his fate.

Hunichen showed Q10 for two pair, Singh tabled his KK for a bigger two pair, and Lindemann flipped over J8, which turned the straight draw but didn't complete it on the river, making Lindemann an early casualty on Day 4.

Michael Gaskins and Chance Kornuth also exited soon after.
