Samuel Tebege Eliminated in 14th Place ($10,127)

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Samuel Tebege
Samuel Tebege

Just one hand after committing almost all his chips preflop and losing, Samuel Tebege was forced all in blind from the big blind.

The player under the gun raised to 200,000 only to see Kang Hyun Lee three-bet to 550,000 just behind him. Ian Steinman called from the cutoff and the original raiser folded to bring out a 5?J?J? flop.

Hyun Lee checked and Steinman tossed out a bet of 420,000. Hyun Lee called to see the 6? hit the turn.

Both players checked and watched as the Q? fell on the river.

Hyun Lee led out with a bet of 750,000 and after some though, Steinman tossed his hand in the muck.

Hyun Lee showed the J?J? for flopped quads, easily beating the blind K?2? of Tebege as he stood to exit the tournament area in 14th place for $10,127.

Steinman and Hyun Lee Chop Up Most of Tebege's Chips

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Samuel Tebege raised to 555,000 from under the gun, leaving himself only 45,000 behind. Kang Hyun Lee called as did Ian Steinman on the button to bring out the K?5?5? flop.

All three players checked through to the K? turn.

All three players checked through again to bring the 9? out on the river, and again, all three players checked through to showdown.

Tebege showed the Q?10? but Steinman and Hyun Lee showed A?J? and A?Q? to each win half the pot and chop up most of Tebeges's remaining chips.

Timoth Jenkins Eliminated in 15th Place ($10,127)

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Timothy Jenkins
Timothy Jenkins

Timothy Jenkins Jammed for his last 205,000 from under the gun and got called by Ian Steinman to his direct left, Kane Kalas and Vanessa Kade in the big blind to bring out the A?J?10? flop.

Kade and Steinman both checked to Kalas who slid out a bet of 205,000. Kade quickly folded but Steinman called to see the A? hit the turn.

Steinman checked again and Kalas continued with another bet, this time for 375,000. Steinman called again to see the 2? fall on the river.

Steinman checked again and once more, Kalas put together a bet totaling 680,000. Steinman seemed unhappy with the bet and indecisive on whether to call or fold, but eventually, his cards hit the muck and Kalas showed the A?J? which was plenty good to beat the 3?4? of Jenkins and send him to the rail in 15th place for $10,127.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ricardo Nakamura raised to 210,000 and got called by Eric Mizrachi in the big blind.

The flop gave 7?J?2? and Mizrachi check-called a continuation bet from Ricardo Nakamura. The 2? turn went check-check.

On the 5? river, Mizrachi led out for 200,000 and after a minute, Ricardo Nakamura opted to call but mucked when he saw K?10? in Mizrahi's hands for the flush.

Le Calls Matsumoto's Bluff

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a raised pot, the flop was 6?Q?3? when Quoc Le check-called from the small blind a bet worth 180,000 from Naoki Matsumoto.

The turn brought the A? and Le quickly check-called again, this time for 375,000.

When the 6? hit the river, Le check-called a third barrel from Matsumoto for 350,000.

Matsumoto revealed K?J? for king-high and Le took down the pot with A?7? for a pair of aces.

Tristen Nelson
Tristen Nelson

Tristen Nelson moved all in from under the gun for 925,000 and was called by Ricardo Nakamura in the cutoff.

Tristen Nelson: K?Q?
Ricardo Nakamura: A?K?

Nelson was dominated and apart from running cards was drawing dead on the flop after the runout of A?K?9?3?8? gave Nakamura top
two pair. Nelson has to settle for 16th place, while the Japanese-Brazillian Nakamura is in the hunt to capture the WSOP gold bracelet.

Lee Hurts Jenkins' Stack

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

Kang Hyun Lee raised to 160,000 under the gun and folded to Timothy Jenkins who jammed for a stack around 1,450,000. The rest of the players folded and Lee called all in for 1,270,000:

Kang Hyun Lee: Q?Q?
Timothy Jenkins: 9?9?

Lee didn't find any bad surprise throughout the board 4?3?6?10?J? to scoop the pot and double his stack while Jenkins was left with crumbs.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Asher Conniff
Asher Conniff

Ian Steinman raised on the button to 160,000 and Asher Conniff decided to shove in the big blind for a total stack worth 1,400,000. Steinman immediately called:

Asher Conniff: 4?4?
Ian Steinman: K?K?

Conniff was in desperate shape for his tournament's life and was ready to leave when the board first showed 7?A?Q?8?. However, a 4? showed up on the river to give a set of fours to Conniff to double up.

"Oh, That's Easy To Beat"

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Arnold Spee
Arnold Spee

Arnold Spee jammed in early position for his last 365000 and got called by a player to his direct left.

Action folded around to Quoc Le who three-bet jammed for well over 2,000,000. The player who had called got out of the way to send the other two players to a runout with Spee at risk.

Arnold Spee: 6?6?
Quoc Le: Q?Q?

When the cards were turned up, Spee said, "Oh, that's easy to beat" and seemed confident that he was going to come from behind and secure over a triple up.

The 5?5?9? flop didn't do anything to prove his intuition right, but the 6? turn certainly did.

The river 2? was a blank for Le as Spree secured over a triple up after coming from behind in a big way.
