Niveau 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ever since winning two flips, John Armbrust had been switching gears and got another two jams through to nearly reach seven figures. He then faced the open raise to 120,000 by Dongwuk Moon and three-bet jammed out of the big blind.

"I don't think I gonna fold but I want to know how much," Moon said after asking for an exact count. The shove was for 920,000 and Moon called right after getting the amount.

John Armbrust: A♣K♣
Dongwuk Moon: Q♣Q♠

The most classic of flips went to Moon on a board of J♦7♦6♠7♠5♠ and Armbrust was eliminated in 8th place for $11,200.

MattHansen

Niveau 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was heads up with over 400,000 in the middle and 3♥6♣J♥4♣ on the board when Sunghak Lee checked before Matthew Aquino bet 245,000. Lee responded with a shove and Aquino went into the tank with less. He eventually emerged to make the call and the cards were turned up.

Matthew Aquino: 5♥5♠
Sunghak Lee: A♠J♠

The board finished up with 10♦ and Lee dodged several outs to eliminate Aquino in ninth place for $8,300.

The final table is now official, and it's the third for Adam Swan after he finished second in the $1,500 Freezeout and eighth in the $2,500 Freezeout this summer at the WSOP. This third final table locks up a $25,000 bonus for Swan as part of the WSOP Paradise Parlay bonus.

Oya Doubles Once Again

zedmaster84

Niveau 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Matthew Aquino isolated with top pair to then chop with Masashi Oya, as both had queen-ten and made trips.

Soon after, Aquino open-jammed on the button into two shorter stacks. Oya glanced at his cards and both exchanged some chatter before Oya called it off for 205,000 from the big blind.

Masashi Oya: 7♥6♥
Matthew Aquino: A♣Q♠

Oya flopped a pair on 8♥6♦2♦ and turned trips with the 6♣ to secure the double up before the board completed with the A♠ river.

Armbrust Pulls Another Rabbit Out of the Hat

zedmaster84

Niveau 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

John Armbrust open-jammed for the last 365,000 and Masashi Oya in the cutoff asked for a count, then moved all-in over the top. All four players behind folded and they were off to the races.

John Armbrust: A♦J♣
Masashi Oya: 9♦9♠

The 7♠5♠2♠ flop was bad news for Armbrust as Oya had a spade in his hand. However, he managed to pull off a miracle escape thanks to the 3♦ turn and 4♥ river.

Oya didn't see the wheel and started to celebrate before it dawned on him, as his stack plummeted below three big blinds once more.

Sunghak Lee raised to 120,000 and Dongwuk Moon called in the small blind. Moon check-called for 100,000 on the 8♥7♥3♦ flop before they checked down the 6♥ turn and 6♣ river. Moon showed the K♦9♣ but Lee had that beat with A♦Q♠.

One hand later, Artur Martirosian min-raised from under the gun and called the all-in of Masashi Oya in the big blind for 190,000.

Masashi Oya: A♥10♥
Artur Martirosian: A♣7♣

Oya asked for a ten or hearts, no black cards. The K♥9♥4♠10♠6♣ board secured yet another double for him.
