Players Holding On

Livello 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The 49 remaining players are really feeling the pressure now. The field is getting smaller by the hour and everyone can see the tiny light at the end of the tunnel. We have two levels of play left tonight so it will be interesting to see if some of the shorter stacks can maneuver their way back up the chip counts during these last couple of hours.

Aces vs. Aces vs. Q6off?

[user196616]

We missed the preflop action but got the scoop from a player at the table. According to him, Alex Findlay raised in the cutoff and was three-bet by Paulus Valkenburg in the small blind. Then Erik Lemarquand shoved for 180,000 in the big blind, Findlay reshoved for 310,000 and Valkenburg called all in for 184,000 as the players turned up their hands.

Findlay: {A-} {A-}
Valkenburg: {A-} {A-}
Lemarquand: {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

Lemarquand had a chance to crack not one but two pairs of aces. We didn’t catch the board but know that Lemarquand turned an inside-straight draw which he wasn’t able to complete on the river and was eliminated while the other two players split his chips.

Woooo for Tieu!

A player in middle position raised to 14,000 and Kien Tieu re-raised all in. The other player took a couple of minutes before deciding to call and found he was in a classic coinflip situation with Tieu.

Tieu: {a-Hearts} {k-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}

The flop came out an uneventful {j-Spades} {j-Clubs} {4-Hearts} , but when the {k-Diamonds} hit on the turn Tieu let out a loud whoop and ran away from the table in excitement. The {7-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Tieu doubled his stack to around 240,000.
