Level 19 : 0/0, 60,000 ante
Andrew Robl
Andrew Robl

Andrew Robl was still left with under 1,000,000 chips and he pushed all in holding {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Ryan Tosoc also shipped all in over the top with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} and the two players tabled their cards with the action complete.

The flop fell {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts} giving Tosoc trip queens. Robl was drawing extremely slim and the {j-Diamonds} on the turn ended things. Tosoc improved to a full house and Robl was eliminated in fourth place.

Robl Doubles Again

Level 19 : 0/0, 60,000 ante

All four players limped in and the flop came {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Isaac Haxton led out for 100,000 and Andrew Robl shoved all in for his last 280,000. The action was back on Haxton who reluctantly made the call. "I've got a pretty bad hand," he said.

Haxton tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and would need some help against the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of Robl. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} which left Haxton drawing dead to the river.

Hawkins Leaves Robl Short

Level 18 : 0/0, 50,000 ante

Maurice Hawkins and Andrew Robl went heads-up to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Hawkins checked with {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Robl tossed in a bet with {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Hawkins called and nailed the straight on the {6-Hearts} turn card.

He checked again and Robl checked back this time. The river was the {a-Hearts} and Hawkins checked one more time. With the ace playing as a five in short deck poker, Robl bet 900,000 with a nine-high straight. However, Hawkins held the nuts and raised to 2,400,000. Robl thought for a minute and eventually made the call, leaving himself on the short stack.
