Barzantny Takes Another Pot

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Wojciech Barzantny in the big blind bet 1,100,000 and Paawan Bansal on the button made the call. The A on the river saw both players check, and Barzantny took the pot when he tabled 9874 for two pair, and Bansal mucked.

Luu Punished; Schwartz Goes Runner-Runner

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Hieu Luu received a one-orbit penalty for leaving his seat to redeem a bounty despite having live cards, essentially folding out of turn.

The first hand that he watched take place from the rail saw Noah Schwartz and James Chen get it all in on a flop of 57K

Noah Schwartz: AAK5 All in
James Chen: KKQJ

Chen found the case king to take a commanding lead over his opponent, but the 32 runout saw Schwartz back into the nut flush, as he celebrated his escape from elimination.

"Oh Man, Come On, I Always Chop!"

Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Sascha Pregler raised to 875,000 from early position, Griffin Mason raised to 3,000,000 from the cutoff, and action folded back to Pregler, who called with 400,000 behind.

Sascha Pregler: AK53 All in
Griffin Mason: AKJ3

The board ran out 9387, and Pregler stood up, knowing Mason had a huge freeroll with his flush draw. When the 10 hit the river, Pregler let out an "Oh man, come on! I always chop."

And they chopped.

Liam He: AQJ7 All in
Jeremy Kerbel: QQ107

Kerbel faced no sweat on the 53362 runout to secure yet another elimination, as he neared the 30-million-chip mark.

On the 52A flop, Radoja checked it over, then folded to a 1,500,000 bet from Stroke.

Jarod Einsohn: AK64 All in
Shawn Stroke: AK104

Both players had top pair, top kicker, then improved to top two pair on the K9 runout to chop the pot.

Kerbel Nit-Rolls, Maybe

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading 62K4.

Under-the-gun player Travis Pearson checked to Jeremy Kerbel on his left, who bet out for 1,700,000 into a pot of slightly more. Pearson then check-shoved for 6,725,000, sending Kerbel into the tank. Eventually, he stuck in the call.

Travis Pearson: K1097 All in
Jeremy Kerbel: KKJ10

Pearson had picked the wrong time to make a move, as he was drawing stone dead to his opponent's top set, with the A river changing nothing.

"That was maybe a nit-roll," said Kerbel after Pearson had left the table. "I was thinking, can he have three-five there?"
