Chip Counts
Level: 30
Blinds: 100,000/150,000
Ante: 150,000
Diogo Doliveira raised all in from early position with 1,630,000 chips. Small blind Daniel Blum was the lone caller.
Diogo Doliveira: K♠Q♥
Daniel Blum: A♦Q♣
Needing some help, Doliviera didn't get it as the board fell 4♠5♣5♥3♦2♥ with a flock of numbers, leading to his exit.
Ian Steinman made it 240,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Rohit Mariwalla in the next seat and Max Kruse in the small blind.
Brian Felder sat in the big blind then three-bet all in for 700,000. Steinman then four-bet all in for 2,305,000 which found a five-bet all in from Mariwalla who had both all in players covered.
Action came back to Kruse who had all players covered, "Ah man, I knew it and that is why I played it like this.........I fold" and he open folded AxKx.
Brian Felder: J♣8♠
Ian Steinman: K♣Q♥
Rohit Mariwalla: J♠J♦
Felder was drawing almost dead and Steinman needed to hit to say alive. The dealer duly obliged for Steinman when they fanned out the flop of 6♥K♥5♠ to fire him into the lead. No help for Mariwalla on the 5♥ turn nor the 6♠ river and Steinman scooped the pot for a near treble-up whilst Felder was sent to the rail.
Kruse was left contemplating if he made the GTO right move as he would have sent three players to the rail.
Marius Iftimia jammed for 975,000 from early position and Simon Hong in the big blind called.
Marius Iftimia: Q♣J♣
Simon Hong: 9♠9♦
Iftimia flopped top pair on a board of J♠7♦5♣10♥A♠ and doubled up.
One hand after giving half his stack away when he lost a hand as the preflop favorite, Arthur Morris was all in again.
This time, he shoved 1,705,000 chips over a raise to 320,000 from the cutoff and a call on the button by Ludovic Periaux on the button.
David Yue, the original raise, bailed. Periaux made the call for less.
Ludovic Periaux: 8♣8♠
Arthur Morris: 5♣5♠
This time Morris was the underdog and maintained the worst hand throughout as the board fell 3♣6♣6♦10♣6♠ to give Periaux the bigger full house thanks to his pocket eights.
Morris lost half his stack for the second time in two hands.
Ryan Luna in middle position was all-in and at risk for 635,000 against Jorg Weber in early position.
Ryan Luna: 8♠8♦
Jorg Weber: A♥K♥
Luna won the flip on Q♠7♣6♦4♠J♥ and doubled up.
Matthew McEwan opened to 240,000 from the hijack. Shawn Stern in the cutoff three-bet to 600,000, then Daniel Blum on the button four-bet all-in for 2,400,000.
McEwan folded and Stern went deep into the tank. The clock was called and he folded.
"Ace-Queen?" asked McEwen. "Something like that. You too?" Stern answered. "A bit better, a pair," replied McEwan while Blum was scooping the pot.
Kalpesh Kika moved all in from early position against Arthur Morris.
Kalpesh Kika: A♣J♦
Arthur Morris: A♥K♦
Morris better preflop hand wasn't that for long as in the runout 5♣7♣J♣A♦10♠, Kika hit two pair to earn a double-up.
