Ioannis Patsourakis

A player in early position moved all in for about 700,000 and Ioannis Patsourakis called, all in for for 455,000.

Everybody else gets out of the way and the cards are tabled. Patsourakis is in a dominating position with his AhJd against his opponent’s KsJs.

The Kd is the window card, but it’s followed by the Ac and the Ts. For just a second, it looked like Patsourakis was going to get three-outed, but he flopped top pair to leave his opponent with just two outs to win the pot outright.

The turn was the 2h and the river was the Ad. Patsourakis doubled up with trip aces.

Ioannis Patsourakis – 1,090,000

Jami Kopacz

Local player Jami Kopacz has had a strong last couple of levels and has emerged as one of the bigger stacks remaining as the field inches closer to a final table.

In a previous pot, he rivered a full house against trip eights to double up to around 3 million.

In a more recent pot, the player under the gun raised to 120,000. Kopacz called on the button and the player in the big blind three-bet to 295,000. The original raiser folded and Kopacz called.

The flop was 5s5h3h and the big blind bet 255,000. Kopacz called. The turn was the Ts and the big blind bet again, this time 375,000. Kopacz called.

“What do you have?” asked the big blind.

Kopacz didn’t respond to the question and the river was the Ks. The big blind checked and Kopacz bet 500,000. The big blind snap-called.

“Quads, baby,” said Kopacz, tabling 5c5d.

The big blind mucked his hand and the local grinder is among the biggest stacks in the room just before the level ended and the remaining players take a break.

Jami Kopacz – 4,250,000

The river was the 6d and Krizanic doubled up, leaving Pham as one of the shorter stacks.

Tom Krizanic – 1,100,000
Trung Pham – 610,000

Pham showed Ah2s and was in the lead against the hijack’s Ks6s.

The board ran out 9c7h4h8s9h and Pham’s ace-high held up to knock out his opponent and chip up.

Schuyler Thornton

Schuyler Thornton was in the hijack and got into a preflop confrontation with Jaime Urbina in on the button. Urbina got all in for about 500,000 and got action from Thornton.

Thornton showed KhKc and was in the lead against Urbina’s AsJs.

The flop came QdTs7c and Urbina flopped a straight draw to go with his overcard. The turn was the Qc, which took away the straight draw since it would give Thornton a full house.

The river was the Kd and Urbina made Broadway, but was eliminated by Thornton’s kings full of queens.

“I like that turn card,” joked Thornton after the hand.

Thornton won the pot, eliminated Urbina in 91st place, and became one of the biggest stacks remaining. Urbina earned $2,273 for his finish.

Schuyler Thornton – 1,950,000
Jaime Urbina – Eliminated

Level 23: 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante

David Prociak

Jack Shea raised from the hijack and David Prociak called out of the big blind.

The flop was 6c5s2d and Prociak checked. Shea bet 62,000 and Prociak called. They both checked the Jc turn card and the Ac came on the river.

Prociak checked again and Shea bet 116,000. Prociak didn’t waste too much time before calling.

Shea indicated that Prociak made a good call before tabling Ts7s. Prociak turned over 3s3h and won the pot with a pair of threes.

Prociak is in the money with a sizable stack for the second consecutive day after finishing fourth in the $360 pot-limit Omaha last night.

David Prociak – 1,100,000

Jack Shea

There was about 120,000 in the pot on the turn with the board reading 4c3h2sQd.

The player in the big blind led out for 79,000 and Jack Shea called on the button. The river was the 5d and the big blind thought for nearly a minute before betting 135,000.

Shea takes a little time of his own before calling.

“You’re good,” said the big blind before sending his hand face-down into the muck.

Shea waits to collect the pot and then mucks his hand as well, which starts a conversation about what Shea could’ve had. He claimed he flopped top pair.

“Ace-four?” asked another player.

“I didn’t have a straight,” said Shea.

Regardless of his holdings, he won the pot and crossed the million chip mark.

Jack Shea – 1,050,000
