Championship: Brandon Kessous vs. Loni Hui

$5,300 SHRPO Championship
Prizepool:  $4,195,250  |  Payouts  |  Results |  Structure
Level 28:  75,000/125,000 with a 125,000 ante
Players Remaining:  7 of 865

Brandon Kessous

Brandon Kessous raised to 325,000 preflop under the gun, and Loni Hui called on the hijack. Tyler Montoya also called on the button.

The first three cards were dealt 10c4d3h, and Kessous bet 350,000, Hui called, and Montoya folded.

The turn fell Ad, Hui bet 1.1 million, and Kessous called. The river then delivered the Kc, Hui bet 1.8 million, and Kessous thought for a moment before calling.

Hui showed down 8d8c, but Kessous revealed Ah4h to win the hand (if you go back and watch the live stream you can see after the fact that Montoya had folded pocket eights earlier in the hand as well). Kessous was over 10.6 million, and Hui was down to just under 1.4 million after the hand.

Brandon Kessous – 10,675,000 (85 bb)
Loni Hui – 1,375,000 (11 bb)

SHRPO Championship Live-Stream

Paul Snead raised UTG+1 to 250,000, Sterling Savill moved all in from the hijack for 1,975,000, and Snead thought for a while before he called with 7s7h.

Savill turned over JsJd, and needed them to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10d9c7d5cQd — Snead flopped a set of sevens to Savill’s gutshot straight draw, and the set held up for Snead to win the pot and eliminate Savill in eighth place.

Paul Snead  –  10,200,000  (82 bb)
Sterling Savill  –  Eliminated in 8th Place  ($80,000)

With seven players remaining from a field of 865, the average chip stack is around 6,175,000 (49 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $103,000 each.
