Yaniv Peretz opened to 330,000 in early position and Jewell three-bet all-in for about 1,200,000. The action folded back to Peretz and he called with 7♥7♣ to put the A♥Q♠ of Jewell at risk. The K♥9♠6♦J♣3♦ board held up for Peretz and he scored the elimination. With the level about to go up, he is playing 5,700,000.

Mitch Schock

Two of the shortest stacks at the Event 99 final table went to battle and Mitch Schock taking the first round and then Allen Cunningham getting the next.

Cunningham shoved for 1,300,000 with A♦4♠ and Schock called with 9♣9♠ for 850,000. The board held up for Schock and he gained a much needed double.

Down to 435,000, Cunningham shoved a few hands later and got calls from Oddie Dardon, Athanasios Polychronopoulos, and Tono Seunsom. The 9♦4♣3♦7♥9♥ board was checked down by all players and went it came time to showdown, Cunningham’s A♠4♥ was enough to take the pot. He is back to 1,700,000 and Kurt Jewell is the new final table short stack.

Oddie Dardon

Oddie Dardon managed to his both his chips and his mouth to gain a large pot from Chance Kornuth, and is back in the chip lead as a result.

Kornuth raised to 320,000 in early position and Dardon called out of the big blind. Dardon checked the 10♠6♥3♣ flop and Kornuth bet 275,000. Dardon came in for a raise to 600,000 and Kornuth called to the 10♣ turn. Dardon bet 1,500,000 and Kornuth went tanking.

Kornuth asked what he thought Dardon put him on and Dardon named three different hand combinations, much to the table’s amusement. Kornuth laughed as he slid in a call and the K♣ came on the river. Dardon moved all-in, putting Kornuth at risk, and Kornuth’s hand went into the muck.

Kornuth falls to 3,200,000 and Dardon is back in the chip lead with 11,000,000.

In just the first few hands off the deck, the final table has been reached in Event 99. Along with those bustouts, Yaniv Peretz doubled up through Viet Vo to chip up in a massive way.

Mathias Wessel went out for his last 1,040,000 by shoving all-in under the gun with A♦5♦ and losing to the 10♦10♥ of Chris Tryba. The board was all paint and Tryba took the hand.

Logan Dunn shoved with 9♠9♦ for 1,050,000 and Oddie Dardon called with K♣J♦. The J♣8♠3♣ flop put Dardon ahead and the turn and river held up.

Then, Timur Margolin shoved for 1,725,000 under the gun with A♠5♠ and action folded to Dardon. He thought for two minutes before calling A♦J♠ from the small blind. A jack hit the flop and Margolin was off to the payout cage.

In between all that, Peretz opened the cutoff and Vo three-bet to 600,000 on the button. Peretz shoved for 2,895,000 total and Vo called right away with K♦K♠. It was a dream spot for Peretz, who had A♣A♦. The board ran dry and Peretz took the pot to move close to 6,000,000. Vo drops to about 4,200,000.

A full redraw of the final table and chip counts will be posted shortly.
