Big Hands/Storylines
Schwartz catches fortunate turn, doubles up
Ylon Schwartz raised from late position and was called by Paul Snead on the button and Scott Montgomery in the big blind. The flop came K
J
J
and Schwartz bet 380,000. Snead raised to 1.2 million and after Montgomery folded Schwartz made the call. The turn was the K
and Schwartz bet out 900,000. Snead moved all in and Schwartz called all in.
Snead: AJ
Schwartz: AK
Schwartz got the king he needed on the turn. The river was the 7 and Schwartz doubled up to over seven million chips.
Rheem Makes his Move
Chino Rheem was in the small blind and was the second player to call a raise to 220,000. Dennis Phillips also called from the big blind and four players saw the flop come 987. Rheem checked and Phillips stepped out for 500,000. Chris Klodnicki, the original raiser, made the call, and after Judet Toni Cristian folded, Rheem then put in a check-raise for 1.5 million more. Both his opponents folded and Rheem took down the pot of over two million.
Suharto Successfully Uses All-in Twice
Darus Suharto had play folded to him on the button and raised to 210,000, which Judet Toni Cristian called from the big blind. The flop came 1096, and Cristian check-called a bet of 310,000 from Suharto. Both players checked after the K fell on the turn, and then the Q completed the board on the river. Cristian stepped out for a 500,000 bet, and Suharto then announced all-in. Cristian folded and showed A7, while Suharto revealed the K10 for two pair.
In an earlier hand, Aaron Gordon had raised to 225,000 and Suharto called. Chris Klodnicki then reraised to 800,000 from the cut-off. Gordon folded, but Suharto then announced all-in for another 2.5 million. Klodnicki folded and Suharto took down the pot.
Suharto Eliminates Gordon
Aaron Gordon was all-in for his tournament life with the Q10, and found himself up against the pocket jacks of Darus Suharto. The flop came K62, with the 5 on the turn giving Gordon the flush draw. But the 7 on the river ended his main event and Suharto took the chips.
Riesenberg Shows the Bluff
Judet Toni Cristian raised to 230,000 preflop and was called by Dennis Phillips, chip leader to begin the day. Jason Riesenberg then called from the big blind and the flop came AQJ. All three players checked and the 10 created an even more interesting board. Riesenberg bet 250,000 at the pot, Cristian folded, and Phillips called. The 3 was the river and Riesenberg bet 800,000. Phillips folded, then at the loud encouragement from his supporters on the rail to “show the bluff” Riesenberg did exactly that, flashing the 107.
Nice Start for Phillips
In one of the first hands of the level, chip leade Dennis Phillips called an initial raise to 225,000 from Chino Rheem. Darus Suharto on the button then reraised to 825,000, Rheem folded and Phillips called. The flop came A87, and Phillips bet 700,000 at the pot. Suharto folded.
