Jon Turner

Jon Turner raised to 45,000 from the cutoff and Alex Wilson called out of the small blind. Bradley Snider three-bet to 125,000 out of the big blind and Turner moved all in for about 380,000.

Wilson quickly folded and Snider called. Snider showed AdQc and had Wilson’s AsJd dominated.

The flop was Kc4c4h and Snider kept the lead. The turn was the Ac and neither player’s kicker mattered anymore and it was looking like a chopped pot.

The river was the Kd, however, and Snider moved back into the lead when the kickers became relevant again. Snider’s aces and queens with a queen kicker eliminated Turner in 14th place. Snider dragged the pot and moved over the million chip mark.

Braldey Snider – 1,200,000 (60 bb)
Jon Turner – Eliminated

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)
