Andrew Donabedian – Event 47: $800 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty $88,888 Guarantee – $22,723

The second PLO final table of the week at the DeepStack Championship Series resulted in 210 entrants for the $800 8-Max Bounty. Andrew Donabedian already played some Pot Limit Omaha at The Venetian this week, as he bubbled the $1,600 Monster Stack event. Undeterred, Donabedian took the chip lead into today’s Day 2 and finished the job with his first career Venetian win.

Donabedian eliminated Nick Halvorson and Jacob Elmore-Dahl to take control of half of the chips in play. A deal was made soon after and Donabedian ended up with the most money and the DSCS trophy.

The win is the largest score of Donabedian’s career and follows up on his win in the February 2017 DSE I $400 PLO Bounty event. We’ll likely see Donabedian back at another PLO final table at The Venetian in the near future.

Young Ji

Abraham Reinhardt

The elimination of Nick Halvorson led the three remaining players in Event 47 to discuss numbers and a deal. The players decided against a chip-chop and instead used ICM.

Young Ji was at a disadvantage against his two opponents and gave up some ICM money to earn $15,000. Third place was originally set at $12,408. Abraham Reinhardt takes home a few thousand more than second place leaving Andrew Donabedian to get the remainder and the trophy.

The deal is below along with the original payouts.

1. Andrew Donabedian – $22,723 ($27,568)
2. Abraham Reinhardt – $19,221 (16,968)

Nick Halvorson

Andrew Donabedian now controls over half of the chips in play after flopping a set and getting all of Nick Halvorson’s chips.

Donabedian opened to 57,000 in the cutoff and Halvorson called on the button. Abraham Reinhardt called in the big blind and then checked the K♠4♠3♦ flop.

A bet of Donabedian to 125,000 was raised to 450,000 by Halvorson. Reinhardt departed the hand and Donabedian moved all-in. Halvorson shrugged and called for 425,000 more.

Donabedian: K♦K♥7♦3♥
Halvorson: A♠9♣9♠4♣

Halvorson’s flush draw was taken away on the 4♦ turn but he had an out to quads to stay alive. The 8♦ river did him no good and Donabedian took in the massive pot.

Andrew Donabedian – 2,085,000
Abraham Reinhardt – 1,115,000
Young Ji – 585,000
Nick Halvorson – 4th place ($8,208)

Jacob Elmore-Dahl

The Event 47 final table moves to four-handed play after the elimination of Jacob Elmore-Dahl in fifth place. Andrew Donabedian busted Elmore-Dahl and is the chip leader as a result.

Elmore-Dahl raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Donabedian three-bet the cutoff to 196,000 (pot). The blinds folded and Elmore-Dahl paused before four-bet shoving for 564,000 total. Donabedian called having Elmore-Dahl barely covered to put over 25 percent of the chips in play up for grabs.

Donabedian: A♠A♣Q♥J♠
Elmore-Dahl: A♦K♦K♣4♦

A board of 9♣9♦5♣2♦J♣ offered Elmore-Dahl a few draws but not much more on the river. Elmore-Dahl collected his payout and Donabedian is over 1,100,000.

Andrew Donabedian – 1,175,000
Jacob Elmore-Dahl – 5th place ($6,151)

Lueth Peyman

The second elimination of the level resulted in an effective double-up for Young Ji, who knocked out Lueth Peyman to claim a $200 bounty.

Ji raised the cutoff to 50,000 and Peyman called from the big blind. The J♣9♦6♠ flop checked to Ji and he bet 60,000 with Peyman calling behind.

Peyman led for 180,000 on the 3♠ turn and Ji tanked for two minutes before raising all-in for 120,000 more. Ji called and turned over 9♠8♠6♦5♣ for two pair and a pair of draws against the A♠J♥10♦8♣ of Peyman.

The K♥ river missed Peyman and Ji celebrated as he took the pot.

The blinds are up and the updated counts for the final five are below.

1. Andrew Donabedian – 640,000
2. Nick Halvorson – 910,000
3. Young Ji – 7400,000
4. Abraham Reinhardt – 1,010,000

Jerome Sgorrano

Jerome Sgorrano trended downward during Level 22 and his Event 47 run is at an end.

Sgorrano raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Abraham Reinhardt potted from the small blind. The raise was to 190,000 and Sgorrano raised for a few thousand more to be formally all-in.

Reinhardt: A♦K♠J♠4♠
Sgorrano: A♥K♠9♥6♠

A runout of K♣7♦3♦2♦4♣ gave Reinhardt a winning two pair. He holds a quarter of the chips in play with Nick Halvorson 100,000 behind him.

Abraham Reinhardt – 935,000
Jermo Sgorrano – 7th place ($3,712)

Level 21
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Players Remaining: 7/210
Average Stack: 540,000

Jerome Sgorrano was up to second-place in the Event 47 final table but fell a few notches after bluffing a few chips off along with a double for Young Ji. Sgorrano managed to get those chips back versus Lueth Peyman.

Peyman opened to 33,000 and Sgorrano defended his big blind. Sgorrano checked the J♣5♦2♠ flop and Peyman put in 40,000. With 215,000 behind, Sgorrano raised to 194,000 and Peyman just called. Sgorrano put the 21,000 remaining chips he had in the middle on the 4♦ turn and Peyman called.

Peyman: K♦J♥9♣8♥
Sgorrano: Q♠4♣4♠3♥

Peyman was drawing dead heading to the river and Sgorrano doubled up with his set.

A few hands later, Peyman three-bet to 136,000 out of the small blind after a raise to 40,000 in the cutoff from Abraham Reinhardt. Peyman was then faced with an all-in and folded to leave himself with under 10 big blinds as the level moves up.

1. Andrew Donabedian – 535,000
2. Jerome Sgorrano – 500,000
3. Nick Halvorson – 720,000
4. Young Ji – 510,000
5. Abraham Reinhardt –960,000
6. Jacob Elmore-Dahl – 650,000
7. Lueth Peyman – 190,000
