Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong opened to 300,000 from the button and Selahaddin Bedir shipped for 3,650,000 from the big blind. Cheong called with a very similar stack.

Bedir: AsKh
Cheong: AdJs

Bedir had Cheong outkicked and nothing on the 8c5d5h7hTc board could help him. Bedir doubled up, Cheong was left with a single big blind, and was eliminated on the next hand.

Selahaddin Bedir – 7,525,000 (50 bb)
Joseph Cheong – Eliminated in 10th Place ($79,360)

Championship: Jakob Miegel – 11th Place ($61,925)

Level 29:  75,000/150,000 with a 150,000 ante
Players Remaining:  10 of 1,566

Jakob Miegel

It folded to Anshul Rai in the small blind, he completed and Jakob Miegel checked in the big blind. The flop came Ts7s3s, Rai bet 150,000 and Miegel called.

The turn was 9c, Rai bet another 350,000 and Miegel called. The river was 5c, Rai pushed out a barrel of 100K chips for 2,000,000 and Miegel called all in at risk.

Rai: 6h4h
Miegel: 9c7d

Miegel flopped a pair of sevens and turned two pair nines and sevens but Rai got there on the river for a seven-high straight.

Anshul Rai – 6,250,000 (42 bb)
Jakob Miegel – Eliminated 11th Place ($61,925)

Championship: Steve Buckner – 12th Place ($61,935)

Players Remaining:  11 of 1,566

Steve Buckner

Jacob Ferro opened to 350,000 from under the gun and Steve Buckner came along from the big blind to see a Th8s6c flop. He moved all in for 1,350,000 and Ferro called.

Buckner: 8c7c
Ferro: As8d

Both flopped a pair of eights but Buckner had kicker issues. He needed a seven for two pair or a nine to fill his gutshot draw.

“Come on cuz,” Buckner said. “Let me suck out this time.”

The Jh turn was no help and the boisterous one was eliminated after the Ah river.

Jacob Ferro – 14,325,000 (96 bb)
Steve Buckner – Eliminated in 12th Place ($61,935)

Wiggins: Ad7d

Wiggins was behind but caught up when he paired his seven on the JsTs7s flop. The 8h turn and 3c river were blanks and Wiggins doubled up.

Willie Wiggins – 3,800,000 (25 bb)
Jacob Ferro – 12,625,000 (84 bb)

Level 28:  75,000/125,000 with a 125,000 ante
Players Remaining:  12 of 1,566

Action folded to Nicholas Davidson in the cutoff and he moved all in for 2,125,000. Willie Wiggins came along from the small blind and Davidson was the player at risk.

Davidson: As7c
Wiggins: AhKs

Davidson needed a lot of help to stick around the Championship, missed the 9c8s3c flop but paired the 7h turn to take the lead. The board finished with the 8c river for Davidson’s double.

Nicholas Davidson – 4,900,000 (39 bb)
Willie Wiggins – 1,600,000 (12 bb)

Scott Levitt

Scott Levitt open-shoved for 700,000 from under the gun and Jacob Ferro looked him up from the button.

Levitt: Js7s
Ferro: 3s3c

Levitt had two live suited cards for a chance to double up. But he missed the Qc9c2c9d8d board to go out in 13th place. A rough day for our Poker Room regular, one where nothing went right since Day 4 kicked off.

Jacob Ferro – 13,200,000 (105 bb)
Scott Levitt – Eliminated in 13th Place ($48,900)

Jakob Miegel opened to 275,000 from under the gun and Joseph Cheong called from the cutoff. Anshul Rai ripped it in for 1,200,000 from the big blind to get a fold from Miegel and call from Cheong.

Rai: AhJh
Cheong: 9c9s

Rai needed to improve to double and popped the AdAs6h flop for trip aces. The 8s turn and Qh river locked up his double.

Anshul Rai – 2,875,000 (23 bb)
Joseph Cheong – 3,675,000 (29 bb)

Daniel Rezaei – Eliminated in 14th Place ($48,900)
