Covington Knocked Out by Ponakovs

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Colby Covington
Colby Covington

UFC fighter Colby Covington and high roller Aleksejs Ponakovs had created a pot of 100,000 chips when they arrived on a turn of 2?Q?8?9?. After an unseen action from Ponakovs, Covington put out 125,000 chips.

Ponakovs then raised all in, covering Covington's stack of roughly 320,000 chips. Covington went into the tank but eventually slammed in a call for his tournament life.

Colby Covington: A?Q? All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9?2?

The 3? river did not counterfeit Ponakov's two pair as Covington was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Max Kingstone got his last 150,000 in with A?Q? but Mathias Pedersen had A?K?. Both players paired their ace on the flop, but Kingstone improved no further and Pedersen took the pot to send him to the rail.

Liperis Rivers Stokkan, Feiger Departs As Well

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Yiannis Liperis
Yiannis Liperis

Arriving on a turn of A?3?10?K?, Preben Stokkan in the small blind checked to Yiannis Liperis in the cutoff. Liperis bet 20,000 chips before Stokkan moved all in.

Liperis made the call to put Stokkan at risk, and the cards were tabled.

Preben Stokkan: A?3? All in
Yiannis Liperis: K?Q?

Stokkan's two pair had a monster lead over Liperis' pair and gutshot. However, the J? river gave Liperis Broadway to eliminate Stokkan from the Main Event.

On another table, Day 1a chipleader Joshua Feiger was eliminated after he ran his final few blinds into pocket aces and could not win.

Warnicke's Main Event Dream Flushed Away by Garcia

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Adrian Garcia Galipienso
Adrian Garcia Galipienso

Adrian Garcia opened from middle position to 20,000 and David Yokoyama called from the hijack. Richard Warnicke then three-bet the minimum to 30,000, which both Garcia & Warnicke called.

All three players saw a flop of 6?8?5? which Warnicke checked, Garcia bet 30,000, Yokoyama folded, and Warnicke raised to 80,000. After thinking for a while, Garcia called.

On the 8? turn, Warnicke led out for 150,000, and Garcia called.

A 9? landed on the river and after around thirty seconds, Warnicke shoved for around 250,000. Garcia took just two seconds before he flicked in a call, which put Warnicke at risk.

Warnicke confidently tabled 7?4? for a flopped straight that backdoored a flush, but Garcia had A?5? for a bigger flush, which ended Warnicke's run in the Main Event.

Aldemir Finds a Miraculous Double

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Koray Aldemir opened to 20,000 from under the gun before an opponent in middle position three-bet to 55,000. Action folded back around to Aldemir, who took some time reaching a decision. His opponent, meanwhile, was busy getting his phone ready to film the hand. Aldemir opted to flat to generate a sizable pot before the flop.

The flop came 3?3?9?, prompting Aldemir to check. The middle position player continued for 40,000, then called with the slightly larger stack after Aldemir responded by moving all in for 178,000.

Koray Aldemir: 10?10? All in
Middle Position Player: K?K?

Aldemir was in terrible shape with his tournament life on the line, that is until a miraculous 10? rolled off the deck on the turn. The 4? river completed the board to hand Aldemir a huge double while leaving the middle position player with dust.

Ambrose Brooks
Ambrose Brooks

Ambrose Brooks raised to 21,000 in the cutoff before Ihar Soika moved all in for 85,000 on the button. Brooks called to put Soika at risk.

Ihar Soika: K?Q? All in
Ambrose Brooks: Q?6?

Soika had Brooks dominated and was poised for a double up as the A?Q?4? flop gave both players a pair of queens. Soika was still ahead with his king kicker and remained in the lead on the 3? turn, but the 8? river gave Brooks a flush and sent Soika to the rail.
