Level 29:  50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 ante
Players Remaining:  17 of 4,265

Following a flop of 8s5s4h, Michael Morton was all in from the big blind for about 825,000 with Qd7s against Sean Astwood in the cutoff holding Qc8h for a pair of eights.

The Ts turn and 9h river completed the board, no help to Morton, ending his tournament in 18th place.

Michael Morton  –  Eliminated in 18th Place  ($9,300)

With 17 players remaining from a field of 4,265, the average chip stack is around 5,020,000 (50 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $9,300 each.

Event 1: Tom Gottlieb Makes a Tough Call to Chop the Pot with Alex Ivan

$400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Prize Pool:  $1,407,450  |  Structure  |  Payouts
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.
