Justin Bonomo

Most of the players racked up in preparation for the final table redraw, but there was still a hand in progress at Table 2.

The pot began with Justin Bonomo raising to 11,000 in the cutoff. Seth Davies called on the button, and Ben Tollerene defended his big blind.

The flop was Ad4c3c. It checked to Bonomo, who continued for another 11,000. Davies folded, but Tollerene check-raised to 35,000. Bonomo called.

Both players checked through the Qd turn.

The river was the 9d. Tollerene led out for 35,000, and Bonomo moved all in for 143,500. After a couple minutes of pondering, Tollerene called to put Bonomo at risk.

Bonomo showed 6d4d, winning the pot with a flush. Tollerene was forced to show his Ac9c as he paid off Bonomo’s double.

Justin Bonomo – 395,000 (79 bb)
Ben Tollerene – 470,000 (94 bb)

Bryn Kenney opened to 11,000, and David Peters three-bet to 35,000 right behind him. Kenney four-bet shoved for just over 200,000, and Peters called to put him at risk.

Kenney: Ah3h
Peters: ThTd

Kenney turned a flush draw on the Kh5s5cQh board, but he could not get over the hump. The river was the Js, and Peters won the pot with tens up.

Kenney was eliminated, reducing the field to nine players. They’re now on the move, combining around the unofficial final table.

David Peters – 490,000 (98 bb)

Koray Aldemir limped from early position, and Justin Bomomo raised all in for about 100,000 on the button. Aldemir has just less than that to begin the hand, and he quickly called all in to put himself at risk.

Aldemir: JdJh
Bonomo: QsTs

The 4d4h2s flop was clean for Aldemir, but the Qc turn gave Bonomo the lead with one to come. The river was the 2d, and Bonomo won the pot with queens up.

Aldemir was eliminated.

Justin Bonomo – 200,000 (40 bb)
Koray Aldemir – Eliminated

Level 11: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante

Bryn Kenney opened with a raise to what looked like 10,000 from the hijack, and David Peters three-bet to 22,500 from the cutoff. Sean Winter called all in for 16,500 on the button, and Kenney called the remainder to create action on the side.

The flop was QdQs7s, and both live players checked. The turn was the 7h. Kenney bet 15,000, and Peters called. The river was the 2d, and Kenney bet 50,000. Peters called.

“Fuck,” Winter said. He showed TsTd, fairly certain it was no good. He was correct; Kenney tabled Qh8h to win the pot with queens full.

Winter was eliminated.

Bryn Kenney – 205,000 (51 bb)
David Peters – 325,000 (81 bb)

Super High Roller: Giuseppe Iadisernia Eliminated by David Peters

Level 11: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante

Giuseppe Iadisernia opened with an early-position raise, Nick Petrangelo called in the hijack, and David Peters called on the button.

The flop was Ah6h2c. Iadisernia continued for 23,000, and Petrangelo called. Peters raised to 150,000, though, and Iadisernia called all in for about 112,000. Petrangelo folded out of the way, leaving the Venezuelan heads-up for his tournament life.

Iadisernia: Ad2d
Peters: Ac6c

Both players had flopped aces up, but Iadisernia’s two pair was better. He was poised to double up, but the cards would not cooperate. The 2s landed right on the turn, giving Peters a full house and a big lead with one to come.

The river was the blank 8c, and Iadisernia was eliminated for the second time.

David Peters – 422,000 (106 bb)
Giuseppe Iadisernia – Eliminated

Stephen Chidwick doubled up for 21,000 a few minutes ago, and he just did so again for 39,000. The most recent instance began with Rainer Kempe opening the cutoff to 7,000. Chidwick shoved the big blind, and Kempe called to put him at risk.

Kempe: KsJs
Chidwick: 9c9h

The board came KhTh9d3h7c, and Chidwick doubled up with a set of nines.

Erik Seidel2018 

One hand after losing nearly his whole stack, Isaac Haxton was all in for 1,500 in the small blind.

Justin Bonomo opened to 7,000 under the gun, Koray Aldemir called in the cutoff, and Erik Seidel called on the button. From the big blind, though, Stefan Schillhabel squeezed all in for 139,500 total. Bonomo and Aldemir quickly folded, but Seidel spent several long minutes pondering. Eventually, he called all in for 91,000, putting himself at risk, too.

Haxton: Kc5h
Schillhabel: TsTd
Seidel: AhQd

The board ran out Jd5d3cTh6h, and Schillhabel won the pot with a set of tens. Haxton and Seidel were eliminated, leaving 13 players in the field.

Isaac Haxton and Ben Tollerene were involved in a big heads-up pot on the turn of a 9d6d5cKc board. There was maybe 90,000 in the middle, and Haxton bet 60,000 from the big blind. Tollerene called, working in position from the cutoff.

The river was the Qs, and Haxton bet 123,000, leaving just 2,000 chips behind. Tollerene moved all in.

Haxton’s shoulders slumped, and he let a smirk cross his face.

“I don’t think I can win,” he said, shaking his head. Tollerene couldn’t help but giggle at the predicament he’d put Haxton in, and the table shared a brief laugh at the amusement, too.

Eventually, Haxton spun his cards into the muck, saving his last small blind for the next hand.

Tollerene, the chip leader, opened up a significant gap on the field with that pot.

Ben Tollerene – 625,000 (208 bb)
Isaac Haxton – 2,000 (<1 bb)
