BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Yaroslav Nakonechnyy Exits In 16th Place ($6,635), Eliminated By Jake Schwartz

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000) | Structure
Total Entries: 433
Players Remaining: 15

Yaroslav Nakonechnyy (Las Vegas, NV) had been moved to Table 1 (after the elimination of Richard Leger), but only stuck around for four hands, as he ran queens into Jake Schwartz's aces.

As slow as the day started, is a quick as things are moving at the moment, with the field losing yet another player.  After Yaroslav Nakonechnyy (Las Vegas, NV) opened the action with a raise, Jake Schwartz would three-bet after players folded around to him.  That cleared out the blinds, allowing Yaroslav to four-bet shove (just over 500,000), with Jake quickly making the call:

Nakonechnyy: Q Q
Schwartz: A♣ A

Runout: J♣ 8 7♠ 2 2♠

It was just a cooler for Yaroslav, who would have likely gotten the chips in on the flop, had he just called Jake's three-bet.  Nakonechnyy departed the table, and headed to the podium to collect his 16th place money ($6,635).

Jake Schwartz - 2,100,000 (105bb)

Richard Leger (Lighthouse Point, FL) adds to his already impressive tournament resume, which boasts over $500,000 in career tournament earnings.

Richard Leger (Lighthouse Point, FL) was hampered by a short stack for most of these later stages of Event #14, and open shoved moments ago at Table 1 (for just over 15 big blinds).  Action folded around to Qasim Jamhour, who made the call, putting Richard at risk:

Leger: A J
Jamhour: Q♠ Q♣

Runout: J 8♠ 8♣ K♠ 5

Leger found a little help on the flop, but was unable to continue the comeback on the turn or river, making him the second player eliminated on this Day 3.

Qasem Jamhour - 1,600,000 (80bb)

BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Loni Harwood Triples Up, As Dani Dayan Is Eliminated In 18th Place ($6,635)

Dani Dayan (Miami Beach, FL) had a very up and down last twenty-four hours, with a chip stack that fluctuated with seemingly every hand.  She'd be eliminated first from Day 3 moments ago, as Uri Kadosh spiked a three-outer to send her packing.

Left with just two big blinds, Loni Harwood would go all-in the next hand after her confrontation with Cham, and got some protection from Dani Dayan (who shoved for just over 15 big blinds).  Action folded around to Uri Kadosh, who was in the big blind, and put her at risk after making the call:

Harwood: 8 9
Kadosh: A♠ Q
Dayan: A♣ J

Runout: 10 9♠ 9♣ 10 Q♠

Harwood flopped gin, while it looking like the two would chop the side pot...until Uri spiked a queen on the river, eliminating Dani in 18th place ($6,635).

Uri Kadosh - 600,000 (30bb)
Loni Harwood - 420,000 (21bb)

Loni Harwood would open the action at Table 1 to 45,000, with action folding to Ginold Cham, who three-bet to 150,000.  After players folded back around to Loni, she waited a few seconds, before announcing that she was all-in.  The two stacks were very similar, so after Cham made the call, it was going to likely be the tournament for one of the two players:

Cham: A♣ K
Harwood: J J♣

Runout: 10♣ 45 Q♣ A

Loni was able to fade both the flop and turn (with Cham gaining equity on the turn), but could not get past the river, and Ginold spiked an ace to win.

Ginold Cham - 840,000 (42bb)
Loni Harwood - 50,000 (2bb)

BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Dabus Picks Off A Genacthe Bluff, Leaving Daniel With Crumbs

Frederico Dabus (Doral, FL) wanted to make sure he got on the blog this afternoon (for his wife), and took no time grabbing the spotlight with a big call against Daniel Genacthe.

The action had been fairly slow to start the day, as the stacks are so deep, that nobody is looking to get involved in large pots unnecessarily.  The first sizable pot of the day just played out at Table 2, as Frederico Dabus and Daniel Genachte were heads up on the turn, of a board that read Q 8 2 6♠.  Genachte bet 110,000, and after a good minute or so in the tank, Dabus pushed forward a call.  After the J♣ completed the board, Genachte announced a bet of 200,000, pushing two yellow stacks across his cards.  Once again, Frederico would take his time with the decision, eventually putting the chips in for a call.  Daniel tossed his cards face down towards the muck, conceding the hand to Dabus, without either of the hands being shown.  Genachte is now in the danger zone, sitting with less than eight big blinds.

Frederico Dabus - 1,300,000 (65bb)
Daniel Genacthe - 150,000 (7bb)

The sizable Battles At The Beach Event #14 trophy is awaiting a new owner, as it sits on Table 3, in distance for everyone remaining to see.

Players are just finishing up unpacking their chips, with Day 3 action of Event #14 about to begin.  There are a lot of storylines that could potentially unfold this afternoon, with big named players looking to add to their already impressive resumes (Jake Schwartz, Loni Harwood, Joshua Kay, TJ Shulman), local grinders looking for a breakout score (Daniel Genachte, Richard Leger, Frederico Dabus), and a player hoping to become the first to defend their Battles At The Beach title (Uri Kadosh).

Ginold Cham (Lake Worth, FL) can sit a little more comfortably, especially after winning a pot worth more than 1,000,000.

At Table 3, Ginold Cham would open from early position, with Raj Vohra then  three-bet shoving for just over 160,000.  Donald Francois was next to act, and he wasn't too quick to release his hand...instead he announced that he was all-in as well (for close to 800,000).  Action folded back around to Cham, who looked at Francois and said, "I guess this is going to be a big."  Ginold made the call, and the hands would be tabled, for a pot worth over 1,000,000:

Cham: A♠ A
Francois: Q♠ Q
Vohra: 8 8♣ 

Runout: J 9♣ 3♠ 3 6

"Hold once in my life," Cham said, as the dealer began running out the board...which did help his aces hold.  Cham would eliminated Raj Vohra in 25th place ($3,816), while Francois dropped below 300,000.

Ginold Cham - 1,050,000 (87bb)
Donald Francois - 240,000 (20bb)

Jake Schwartz (New York, NY) now finds himself with over 900,000, after scoring a big double-up against defending champion Uri Kadosh.

Uri Kadosh's title defense hopes just took a big hit, as he watched a good portion of his stack get pushed the way of Jake Schwartz.  On a Q♠ 3 2 flop, Jake would call a check-raise from Kadosh, with the two watching as the 9♣ fell on the turn.  The chips then got in, with the two vying for a pot worth over 800,000:

Schwartz: Q 9 (top-two with flush draw)
Kadosh: 3♠ 3♣ (flopped middle set)

River: Q♣

Schwartz was able to find one of his thirteen outs on the river, giving him a timely double, which propels him to the top of the leaderboard.

Jake Schwartz - 910,000 (91bb)
Uri Kadosh - 290,00 (29bb)

It's bad news for Chad Eveslage...as Jake, Sam Panzica, and Joshua Kay still remain in the field...all with above average stacks.

Daniel Genachte (Deerfield Beach, FL) has hit two lucky rivers in the past few levels, helping him comeback from a stack that dipped down to just five big blinds.

The lead up to Daniel Genachte's double up wasn't spotted...but the aftermath was.  After Brinn opened from early position, Daniel shoved out of the big blind (for close to 175,000).  Brinn quickly made the call, and would be ahead with J J, against Daniel's A 7♣.  The runout would be kind for the local grinder, as he spiked an ace on the river to win, leaving Dennis will less than a big blind.  Brinn would be eliminated the very next hand, exiting the tournament area in 27th place ($3,816).

Daniel Genachte - 365,000 (36bb)

Raj Vohra (Lake Worth, FL) is owed an apology from the media, as he was listed earlier as the completely wrong person.

Earlier, we had the player pictured above listed as Jose Delcid, when is fact that is Raj Vohra (Lake Worth, FL).  We spoke of Delcid having just one recorded cash on his Hendon Mob, and being excited to be chipping up.  Vohra is the exact opposite of that, with just under $1,000,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, and a knack for running deep in events such as this.  Raj happens to be sitting with a top ten stacks at the moment, with over 550,000.

BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Panzica More Than Triples, As Three Players Flop Sets

2018 Battles At The Beach

Sam Panzica (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) couldn't have asked for a better situation, all-in for a triple up, with his opponents holding one out each.

At Table 1, Sam Panzica would open the action with a raise to 12,000, eliciting calls from Josias Santos, Brandon Ageloff, and Daryl Jace (big blind).  After the Q♠ 4♣ 5♠ flop, action would check around to Brandon Ageloff, who bet 17,000.  Jace released his hand, with Panzica making the call, and Josias Santos raising to 50,000.  Brandon would then shove for 130,000, with both Panzica and Santos making the call (Sam called for less).  When the hands were tabled, player's would witness the statistical anomaly, as each of the players flopped sets:

Ageloff: 5 5
Santos: 4 4
Panzica: Q♣ Q

The turn and river would not being quads for either of Sam's opponents, and he'd more than triple up to 370,000.  

Sam Panzica - 370,000 (60bb)
