Allie Prescott

Big Hands:

Adam Schoenfeld Eliminated

Adam Schoenfeld raised all in from the big blind with the KJ after Thomas Declerck opened to 24,000. Unfortunately for Schoenfeld, he ran into the AA of Declerck. The flop came AK3 and Schoenfeld was in deep trouble. The 8 on the turn had Schoenfeld drawing dead and he went to the rail. Declerck was up to 575,000 after the hand.

Anders Taylor Eliminated

Manuel Davidian bet 24,000 from middle position. Anders Taylor moved all in for 121,000. Davidian called and exposed the A9 and was ahead of the KJ of Taylor. The flop was disastrous for Taylor as it came A99. The turn offered no outs and he was eliminated on an inconsequential river card.

Adam Etter Doubles Up

Adam Etter moved all in preflop for 270,000 with the AK and was called by the AQ of Filippo Candio. The board ran out J9589 and Etter doubled to 565,000. Candio was down to 480,000.

Frederik Jensen Eliminated

Over at the feature table, Frederik Jensen moved all in for 195,000 preflop and was called by Tomas MacNamara. Jensen tabled the AA and was in great shape versus the 99 of MacNamara. The flop came Q54 and looked good for Jensen. However, the 9 on the turn and 9 on the river gave Jensen’s opponent quads. Jensen was eliminated. MacNamara was up to 745,000 after the hand.

Allie Prescott Eliminated

Greg Schaefer bet 25,000. Allie Prescott raised to 65,000 from the cutoff. Schaefer four-bet to 205,000. Prescott tanked before finally moving all in. Schaefer called all in for over 300,000 more. Prescott tabled the KK and was in good shape against the AK of Schaefer. However, the board ran out AJ55Q. Prescott was down to just 50,000 after the hand and was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Cole South Crippled, Eliminated

Cole South made a raise preflop and his opponent moved all-in for his last 125,000. After South got a count, he opted to make the call.

South showed AQ and he was going to need help against the AK of his opponent. The flop gave South some more hope as it came 448, giving him a flush draw, along with some chop outs, along with his queen.

The turn was the 5 and the river was the 10s and South dropped to just 70,000.

South was eliminated a few orbits later when his K-Q failed to improve against his opponent’s pocket queens.

Brikis Wins a Flip and Eliminates an Opponent

Josh Brikis raised to 30,000 from early position and got a call from the player directly to his left. A player from middle position then moved all in for 169,000 more.

Brikis then made a re-raise to isolate the all-in player and the other player got out of the way. Brikis tabled QQ and was racing against his opponent’s AK.

“I didn’t think you had a hand that good,” said Brikis.

The board ran out 10810102 and Brikis’ queens took the pot and Brikis climbed 1,700,000.

Grinder Makes Middle Pair Work

The board read AK2Q on the turn and there was already close to 100,000 in the middle of the table. Michael Mizrachi checked over to his opponent, who bet 53,000.

Mizrachi made the call and they saw the 6 fall on the river. Both players checked and Mizrachi announced that he had a king as he showed the KJ. His opponent was furious as he slammed his cards into the muck face down and Mizrachi took the pot and climbed to 575,000.

Clock Gets Called and Thorson Wins

The final board read A4K96 and a player checked over to William Thorson, who bet 125,000, which was about the size of the pot.

This sent the player deep into the tank for several minutes. As a floorman was walking by, another player at the table grabbed the floor’s attention and opted to call the clock.

The countdown got all the way down under 10 seconds before the other player folded. “I couldn’t put you on a hand,” the player said. Thorson just gave him a wry smile as he stacked his newly acquired chips.

Ted Forrest Sliding

On fourth street, Ashton Griffin bet with exposed jacks and was called by both Allie Prescott and Ted Forrest. On fifth street, Griffin put his last 1,500 in the middle and was called by both players again.

Griffin: (X-X)-J-J-9-10
Prescott: (X-X)-10-6-4-5
Forrest: (X-X)-5-4-3-3

On sixth street, Prescott and Forrest both checked. Prescott bet the river and was called by Forrest. Prescott showed A-2-2 and had qualifying low and chopped the side pot with Forrest who showed 8-8-7. Forrest was shut out of the main pot, however, when Griffin showed J-8-7, good for a jack-high straight and Prescott took the low portion of the main pot.

Forrest is down to 4,600, Griffin stays alive with 4,600, and Prescott is at 19,000.

Joe Serock Eliminated by Matt Hawrilenko

We got to the table too late to get street-by-street details, but Matt Hawrilenko made a full house on fifth with Joe Serock all in before that point with split jacks to eliminate Serock from the tournament.

Big Hands:

Mel Judah Chips Up Big

Juan Manuel Pastor raised to 5,200 and the button called before Mel Judah reraised to 33,000, nearly half of his stack.

Pastor folded, but the button moved all in and Judah called for his last 35,000 with AK.

The button showed pocket queens, but Judah connected on a board of A3246 to double up to just under 150,000.

Liam Flood Eliminated

Liam Flood was all in on a queen high flop holding K-Q. Unfortunately, his opponent held A-Q for a higher kicker and ended Flood’s tournament when the turn and river failed to bring a king.

Allie Prescott Doubles Up

Allie Prescott moved all in from the cutoff for his last 30,000 with pocket kings and was called by an opponent holding AJ.

The board rolled out 108334 and Prescott is now sitting with just over 60,000 in chips.

Alfio Battisti Busted by Neil Channing

Team PokerStars Online Pro Alfio Battisti raised to 4,500 and Neil Channing reraised to 14,500 behind him. Battisti then moved all in for 74,000 and Channing immediately made the call, showing pocket kings.

Battisti could only sheepishly reveal pocket tens and they couldn’t find friends on a board of Q8779. Channing is now up to 220,000.

Nothing But A Flesh Wound

Team PokerStars Pro Alex Gomes called a short stacks push of 32,000 with As10h and saw that he was in good shape against his opponent’s QJ.

Unfortunately, the board fell J82K5 and the short stack doubled up. Gomes is still strong, however, with 160,000 in chips.

Aaron Gustavson Takes A Hit

Aaron Gustavson was well on his way to the chip lead, but he lost about 70,000 from his stack after calling Martin Schmidkunz’s all in with pocket queens.

Schmidkunz showed pocket kings and they held to boost his stack to 145,000. Gustavson still has 250,000 to work with.

Big Hands and Storylines:

Color Me Confused

The tournament information screens in the Brasilia Room for the razz event started off level 9 as a retina-scorching and brain-addling shade of purple that left a number of players shaking their heads in confusion. After one player approached the floor and told him it was difficult to read, the color of the screen was switched to a simple and elegant black. Black. Always in style.

It’s That Easy

Barry Greenstein completed with a seven up and the action folded all the way around the table, giving Greenstein the pot. He showed the table A-2 and asked, “Doesn’t everybody get these?” It’s easy for Greenstein to be in good spirits as he is currently among the chip leaders with 42,000.

Jungblut Eliminated

Brett Jungblut got all-in on 3^rd street in a capped 4-way pot with Michael Kushner, Ellen Mead, and Trung Ly. Unsurprisingly, with a board of 6A43, Ly led the betting on every street. Mead folded on 6^th street after being dealt a king. After the final round of betting, the players showed their downcards. Ly’s 6-5-2 made him a wheel, rendering his opponents’ hands irrelevant, and eliminating Brett Jungblut.

Violette Takes Big Hit, Eliminated Shortly After

On 6^th street, with a board reading AT82, Nikolay Evdakov bet 1,200 into Cyndy Violette. Violette, with only 2,000 left and a board of 61094, decided to fold and pick a better spot. Unfortunately, no better spot would arrive and she was eliminated a few hands later.
