Hutchings Puts in the Chips

Nível 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was joined on a flop of 6♥7♣Q♦. A player in early position checked it over to Bryce Hutchings in late position who put out a bet. The action was back on early position who didn't waste much time before check-raising all in for about 400,000.

Hutchings went into the tank and appeared to be in a tricky spot. Eventually he put in the chips and the cards hit their backs.

Early Position Player: Q♣5♠
Bryce Hutchings: K♦Q♥

Both players held a pair of queens with Hutchings just needing to avoid his opponent making two pair. The turn brought a 9♠ and the river a 2♦ giving Hutchings the win after a great call.

Lucky River For Akshuta

Nível 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a shove in early position for 100,000 chips, Etay Akshuta in the hijack pushed all his chips in the middle too, for 380,000 chips. An amount that Yang Zhang, in the big blind, called.

Early Position Player: A♥3♥
Etay Akshuta: K♥Q♠
Yang Zhang: 8♦8♥

This hand almost ended as it started, as Yang Zhang's pair was still in the lead on 5♠J♥9♠3♠. But the K♦ on the river permitted Akshuta to stay in the tournament and almost triple his stack.

In his pursuit of a second WSOP bracelet this summer, Yang Zhang stayed over one million chips. However, the player in early position was eliminated in this hand.

David Sebesfi: A♦10♦

It was a fair fight preflop, but when the board ran out A♥10♥8♣10♣5♠, it was the full house for Sebesfi that scored the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Stolzenfeld Puts Opponent in the Blender

Nível 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There was an early position open to 50,000 by Steven Stolzenfeld and action folded to the small blind. He waited only a moment and three-bet to 175,000. Stolzenfeld called.

The flop came 8♠3♦9♣ and the small blind continued for 200,000. Stolzenfeld got a count, looked over the board, and eventually mvoed all in having the small blind covered.

The small blind went into the tank for over five minutes before the clock was eventually called. After a 30-second countdown the small blind folded and Stolzenfeld dragged a massive pot with no showdown.
