Harmon Eliminates Chang on Stone Bubble

Wayne-Harmon-All-In

After battling back-and-forth with Eric Chang across multiple levels, Wayne Harmon denied Chang's Day 2 livestream appearance.

 

Chang opened to 20,000 from the button on blinds of 5K/10K-10K. Harmon moved all-in from the big blind and Chang took his time before calling for approximately 250,000 effective.

 

Chang: A♥T♦ (all-in)
Harmon: A♦2♠
Board: J♦3♣2♥J♣4♥

Harmon paired his deuce on the flop and Chang went unimproved on turn and river.

 

Chang was eliminated on the money bubble and the remaining four players began to bag up for the night. They will return for a livestreamed final table on TCH LIVE Thursday at 7:00 pm.

Wed. Sep. 2 - 11:51 PM

Chang and Harmon Collide

On blinds of 5K/10K-10K, Eric Chang opened to 22,000 and Wayne Harmon clicked it back to 36,000. Chang moved all-in and Harmon called as the effective stack for 373,000.

 

Harmon: J♥J♣ (all-in)
Chang: 8♠8♣
Board: K♦T♠2♥3♦T♣

 

Harmon's jacks held on the king-high runout. Chang had started the hand with a little over 600,000, but this short-handed collision took a sizable chunk out of that stack.

 

Players continue to battle on the stone bubble and Harmon holds the chip lead again.

Chang Steals Harmon's Chip Lead

Wayne Harmon and Eric Chang are going at it on the stone money bubble of the $2,500 NLH High Roller. Chang repeatedly chipped away at Harmon's chip lead and then forced Harmon into a tough river decision.

 

On blinds of 4K/8K-8K and a completed board of A♥9♣5♣5♥8♦, Chang overbet the pot with 195,000. The pot was roughly 150,000 and Harmon had about 350,000 back as the effective stack.

 

After a few minutes and an apology to the table, Harmon folded and asked Chang to show a bluff. Chang allowed Harmon to pick a card, which resulted in Chang showing the 9♠ for a flopped pair of nines.

 

Chang leads the remaining five players.

Everyone Loves It

A few minutes into 3K/6K-6K, Nicholas Beecher opened to 80,000 from the lojack and left himself with one big blind back. Eric Chang called in the hijack and action folded out behind.

 

The flop came A♣K♦9♠. Beecher flicked in his remaining 6,000. Chang quickly called and tabled queens. Beecher was live to a gutshot with Q♥J♥. Beecher immediately turned broadway with the T♣, but the river delivered a chop with the J♠.

 

Chang: Q♠Q♣
Beecher: Q♥J♥ (all-in)
Board: A♣K♦9♠T♣J♠

 

Eight players remain. Four players will finish in the money and return Thursday at 7:00 pm for a livestreamed final table.

Texas de Brazil Delivery

High-Roller-Food-Delivery

Just before the end of Level 9, some of the players ordered filet mignon from Texas de Brazil.

 

The delivery comes at a perfect time with another 15-minute break coming up. Their plan is to play a PLO flip to see who pays for all of the steak and then registration will close shortly after they finish their dinners.

 

Time to win your flips.
