zedmaster84

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Having raised from an early position, Andres Korn then bet 100,000 when checked to by Dinesh Alt out of the big blind on the A♠K♠10♣ flop. Alt called and checked again on the 9♣ turn as Korn moved forward a stack of T-25,000 denominations.

As Alt eyeballed the chips and inquired how much it was, Korn instantly replied "four seventy five" which was indeed the betting amount. The Swiss gave it some consideration and folded.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Down to just 350,000 in chips, Adrian Mateos found two paint cards to get it in with and was looked up by fellow WSOP bracelet winner Alexandre Reard.

Adrian Mateos: K♦Q♥
Alexandre Reard: A♠Q♠

The 10♠6♣4♠ flop left Mateos on the ropes and he found no escape on the 6♦ turn nor the 3♣ river to bow out in 16th place for $17,423.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

At the same time as Adrian Mateos was all-in, Dinesh Alt jammed it in for around 1,250,000 on the button. Qiang Xu moved all in over the top and Andres Korn glanced at his cards, then folded the 7♣7♠ face-up.

Dinesh Alt: A♣9♠
Qiang Xu: A♦K♦

The K♦Q♣7♥ flop left Alt in need of running cards and one of them came with the J♥ turn, as he could now chop with a ten. Nothing changed with the 9♥ river and Alt also had to settle for a payday of $17,423.

"How much did you have, Adrian?" he inquired to the Spaniard before both headed to the payout desk to collect the same amount for their efforts.

Korn Heating Up, Collecting Chips

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andres Korn entered the final two tables in Level 26 with 1,175,000. As play enters Level 27, the last of Day 2 action, he’s currently sitting on approximately 4,200,000 and shows no signs of slowing down.

The WSOP bracelet winner has been aggressive with timed three-bets before the flop, and shows aggression in position.

Korn also hasn’t been afraid with Ankit Ahuja, who entered the final two tables with the chip lead and is to Korn’s left. Korn battled Ahuja a few hands ago and took it down before the river with bets.

zedmaster84

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Biao Ding jammed his short stack of around 385,000 out of the small blind and was looked up by Adam Swan in the big blind right at the end of the level.

Biao Ding: 6♥6♠
Adam Swan: 9♥9♦

The J♦10♣9♠ flop left Ding on thin ice but the K♣ turn brought a potential escape via split pot. However, the miracle never happened as the A♠ river completed the board to eliminate the player from China in 14th place for $17,423.

Reard Builds Through Sakai

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alexandre Reard earned value from Stephen Sakai when he bet out of the big blind on the 9♣5♣5♠3♦9♠ river. Sakai paid off 400,000 and mucked when he was shown the J♠9♥.

Once the blinds went up, Sakai raised to 160,000 for the second hand in a row. He first collected the blinds and then saw Reard flat-call on the button. Both checked the Q♣8♠5♦ flop before Sakai check-called the 6♠ turn for 200,000.

The 9♣ river went check, check, and Sakai revealed the 10♣10♠ for a pair of tens. Reard had him pipped by a notch with the J♥J♦ and raked in another pot.

Trace Henderson Eliminated in 13th Place ($21,501)

Niveau 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Trace Henderson, who was in late position, moved all in for 1,300,000 after a player in early position raised.

Unfortunately for him, he ran smack into Qiang Xu, who moved all in from the button. The original raiser folded and the cards were tabled.

Henderson: 3♣3♥
Xu: A♠A♥

The dealer ran out K♠A♣J♠ on the flop, giving Xu top set. The 7♥ on the turn and 7♠ on river gave Xu a full house.

Henderson finished the tournament in 13th place for $21,501.
