Madan Ousts Berger In Huge Three-Way Pot

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dominic Choma
Dominic Choma

Mayank Madan opened to 80,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 225,000 by Dominic Choma in the cutoff. Seth Berger then moved all in for his last 485,000 out of the small blind. Madan opted to re-raise to 1,400,000 and Choma called to create a large sidepot heading to the flop.

Madan moved a stack of chips into the middle following the {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and Choma immediately folded.

Seth Berger: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Mayank Madan: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Madan had already scooped the sidepot and was in a very good spot to take down the main one as well. The {5-Clubs} turn kept him ahead with the {a-Spades} river improving him to two pair and sending Berger to the rail.

The Norwegian Reaching New Peaks

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

Braxton Dunaway raised it up from under the gun and Espen Jorstad re-raised from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Dunaway who called to see a flop of {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Dunaway checked to Jorstad who continued with a bet of 100,000. Dunaway check-raised to 275,000 and Jorstad called to see the {k-Spades} on the turn. With four spades on the board the action halted as both players checked to the {6-Diamonds} on the river.

Two more checks and Dunaway turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} but it was no good against the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Jorstad.

Imsirovic Bluffs the River...Unsuccessfully

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ali Imsirovic
Ali Imsirovic

Ali Imsirovic raised to 60,000 from the hijack and got three callers.

The board {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} was checked around and Shijia Liu checked the {2-Hearts} turn. Imsirovic put out a delayed continuation bet of 75,000 and was called by Austin Apicella and Liu.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Liu checked again and Imsirovic bet 325,000. Apicella folded and Liu tank-called as the players went on break.

Imsirovic instantly threw his hand into the muck, rendering it irretrievable, and Liu took down the pot.

William Nunley

Action panned to the feature table with the board showing the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} board. Bruno Desimoni bet 600,000 with {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} in the hijack. William Nunley then check-raised to 1,870,000 from early position with {a-Spades}{8-Spades}, which put Desimoni all-in.

With the pot at 3,245,000, the GGPoker Qualifier went deep into the tank with his full house and ended up folding the best hand.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Juliet Hegedus
Juliet Hegedus

Matthew Levine opened to 60,000 in middle position and Juliet Hegedus three-bet to 175,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Levine who called.

The dealer spread the {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop and Levine check-called for 125,000.

The {7-Clubs} landed on the turn, Levine led for 275,000, and Hegedus moved all in for approximately 750,000. Levin quickly called.

Juliet Hegedus: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Matthew Levine: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Hegedus turned the straight and was ahead of Levine's flopped set, but the {7-Diamonds} spiked the river to improve Levine to a full house, ending Hegedus' Main Event run in brutal fashion.

Colillas Busts with Aces at Feature Table

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ramon Colillas
Ramon Colillas

The following hand took place moments ago on the PokerGO feature table on a delay...

From a middle position, William Hunley raised to 65,000 with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, but ran into a cooler when Ramon Colillas, in late position, picked up {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and three-bet to 155,000. Hunley made the call and they both saw a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

Nunley checked his two-outer top set, and Colillas made a continuation bet of 160,000 and his opponent called. The turn was the {4-Spades}, a glimmer of hope for pocket aces.

Again, the player with top set checked and Colillas bet 285,000 and again received a call. When the river {3-Spades} boated Nunley up, he checked for a third time, which baited his opponent to jam all in for 630,000. Colillas was eliminated on Day 5.

Clark Sends In the Dump Truck

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Scotter Clark
Scotter Clark

Gabi Livshitz raised it up from middle position and was called by Scotter Clark in the small blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Clark checked to Livshitz who continued for 60,000. Clark loaded up his toy dump truck with chips and sent it into the middle of the table as he announced all in for 275,000. Livshitz snap-called and the cards were tabled.

Scotter Clark: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Gabi Livshitz: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Livshitz was currently in the lead but Clark had a wealth of outs to double up. It was the {k-Spades} on the turn that sealed the deal as Clark made a flush and remained in the tournament.

Earlier on the feature table, Jimmy Tran shoved from the button for his last 300,000. Koray Aldemir was in the big blind and called.

Jimmy Tran: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Koray Aldemir: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Aldemir had woken up with big slick in the big blind, and restricted his opponent's outs further after the {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop gave him a flush draw. The turn {5-Diamonds} and river {7-Diamonds} bricked and Tran was eliminated.
