Event 23: Jerry Wong Doubles Through Austin Peck

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 23: 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante
Players Remaining: 14 of 529

Austin Peck raised from middle position and Jerry Wong moved all in for 349,000 out of the small blind. Peck quickly called.

Peck showed QcQs and was in great shape against the 2016 November Niner’s 8c8h.

“I won threes versus eights earlier,” said Wong, indicating he thought he could come from behind again.

The board ran out TcTs3h8d6h and Wong hit an eight on the turn to double up.

“You’re using it all up,” said another player at the table about his rungood.

“He’s a November Niner,” said Justin Young. “It adds like 10 percent to his equity in every all in.”

Jerry Wong – 735,000 (37 bb)
Austin Peck – 262,000 (13 bb)

The board ran out 9h8s4dKd3s, and Kempe turned a pair of kings to earn the knockout pot. Volpe was eliminated.

Following the river of a Kc8c6s9d9c board with about 125,000 in the pot, Shaun Deeb was all in from late position for 143,000. Connor Drinan tanked from early position for about three minutes before the clock was called. As the time was counted down, Drinan called with Kd10c for kings and nines.

Deeb, though, tabled Ac7c for an ace-high flush to double through Drinan.

Shaun Deeb – 410,000 (68 bb)

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 18: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players: 63 of 828 players remaining

Aaron Overton opened for 12,000 from middle position and Guy Smith, who is sitting on a mountain of chips, called from the cutoff. The player in the small blind came along as well and three players took a flop of AdJs7d.

The small blind checked, Overton continued for 18,000, and both his opponents folded. Not much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on the stacks of Overton and Smith.

Guy Smith – 600,000
Aaron Overton – 200,000

Bradley Snider moved all in from under the gun for 233,000 and Gerald Aiello moved all in from early position for 166,000.

Everybody else got out of the way and Snider was heads-up with Aiello with Aiello at risk. Snider showed KdQh, but was dominated by Aiello’s AsQd.

The flop was Ks9c3s and Snider hit a three-outer to take the lead. The turn was the 3d and the river was the Jd to eliminate Aiello in 15th place and send the pot to Snider.
