Chris Newton

Felipe Luyanda was all in for about 80,000 from the small blind. Nu Teliani and Chris Newton came along to the AsJh9c flop. Newton bet 30,000 and Teliani called. The turn was Ts, Newton moved all in for about 200,000 and Teliani called to put both at risk.

Teliani: Ad9dtwo pair aces and nines
Newton: JcJsset of jacks
Luyanda: 6s6cpair of sixes

Luyanda was drawing dead with his sixes, Newton was ahead with his flopped set of jacks and had two outs to fade on the river.

One of those was the Ah and it showed up on the river to give Teliani a full house aces over nines to best Newton’s jacks over aces.

Nu Teliani – 3,020,000 (302 bb)
Chris Newton – Eliminated in 14th Place ($5,600)
Felipe Luyanda – Eliminated in 15th Place ($5,600)

Nu Teliani

Nu Teliani was already moving up among the leaders when she got involved in a pot with Jorge Confesor.

We missed the action but caught Confesor shoving a whole lot of chips across to Teliani. Everything went in the middle after Confesor shoved on the Qh8c7h6d5c board holding AhQd for top pair and Teliani took the huge pot with Kh9h for a nine-high straight.

Scott Heiligman

On the second round of hand-for-hand, there was a three-way all in on Table 20 with some interesting hands.

Scott Heiligman, winner of this event in 2016, was all in for 241,000 from the hijack, Nadya Magnus was all in for about 55,000 from the big blind, and Max Young had them both covered in middle position.

Magnus: TdTc
Young: ThTs
Heiligman: AcKd

Heiligman was drawing live to double and knock Magnus out but never found a sweat on the Qh8h8sJh7c board. He was chopped up and eliminated on the bubble.
