$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 29:  50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 ante
Players Remaining:  18 of 4,265

With the board showing KhQd3s3c on the turn, Alex Ivan moved all in from the cutoff for 2,935,000, and Tom Gottlieb went into the tank on the button.

Gottlieb tanked for a long time before he called with Kc5c for two pair, kings and threes. Ivan turned over Ks8s for the same two pair, and unless the river card is an eight or a five, it’ll be a chopped pot with the queen covering both of their kickeres.

The river card was the 7h, and it’s a chopped pot.

Alex Ivan  –  4,500,000  (45 bb)
Tom Gottlieb  –  7,050,000  (71 bb)

With 18 players remaining from a field of 4,265, the average chip stack is around 4,740,000 (47 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $9,300 each.

Action will continue tonight until the end of this level, around 2:20 am, and the remaining players will return tomorrow at 1:00 pm to play down to a winner.
