First-Timer Timothy Su Leads Final 106 Players in Main Event
Day 5 of the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event proved to be the longest yet in the tournament, concluding around 2 a.m. on Thursday with poker titans like Sam Greenwood and Antonio Esfandiari among the final 106 remaining players.
However, all of the seasoned pros are looking up in the counts at a Main Event first-timer. Timothy Su rode a late surge to bag 19,235,000, putting him well clear of second-place Greenwood (11,950,000).
During the final hour, Su busted three-time bracelet winner Brian Yoon when the latter's top pair of kings ran smack into Su's bullets. Then, Su dragged an even bigger pot when he raised on the button and flopped two pair with king-seven, betting all three streets against Yulian Bogdanov. Bogdanov check-raised all in on the river with flopped second pair and a blocker to the nut straight, but Su looked him up after a five-minute tank.
"He was new to the table, so I didn't have much to go off," Su told PokerNews when asked about the big call. "When I took a step back and thought about it, his line didn't seem to make much sense."
With only a few thousand dollars in cashes, Su would seem to be an unlikely chip leader this deep into poker's biggest tournament. However, the software engineer based out of Boston has maintained a very large stack at numerous points, appearing not at all out of place against the more experienced grinders contesting many of the pots against him.
"I'm proud," he said of making it to this point with such a monstrous stack. "When the big blind is the starting stack...to think that's what we all started with is unreal."
Greenwood, Romain Lewis (10,600,000), Andy Hwang (8,660,000), Esfandiari (6,630,000) and Chris Hunichen (6,280,000) are among the well-known players maintaining strong stacks after Day 5.
Two 888poker qualifiers also remain in Greenwood and Mihai Manole.
Meanwhile, two notable storylines ended while another continues to build. Among the roughly 250 players going bust during the course of play was Jill Bryant. Profiled here by PokerNews, Bryant's fearless style got the better of her when she overbet shoved an overpair into David Guay's flopped trips. When the turn and river bricked, Bryant collected a payout for 116th place and took the honors of last woman remaining.
Former elite NFL lineman Richard Seymour also hit the rail. After coming in with one of the biggest stacks, he made some large folds en route to nursing a short stack during the latter stages of Day 5. He'd ultimately try swiping the blinds by shoving king-four on the button, only to run into queens and ace-three suited. A king-high flop gave Seymour — along with those hoping for a big mainstream storyline — life, but a queen on the turn doomed him.
Daniel Hachem, however, remains in contention and will continue to try to bring home a second Main Event title for the family over a decade after Joe shipped it in 2005. Pops got $7.5 million for that win, and Daniel's vying for an even bigger one with $10 million up top here in 2019.
Hachem and the rest of the remaining competitors will resume play with another hour left at 40,000/80,000/80,000, starting at noon on Thursday. Come back to PokerNews then for continued coverage of poker's most famous tournament.

Bonding Sticks Around
Lars Bonding opened the action with a raise from early position to 190,000. Antonio Esfandiari three-bet from middle position to 405,000 and Bonding called.
The flop came and Bonding checked-called a continuation-bet from Esfandiari for 265,000. The turn fell and Bonding checked. Esfandiari fired a second barrel of 485,000 and Bonding peeled. The river was and both players checked.
Bonding tabled and the dealer announced his hand of aces and queens with a king kicker. Esfandiari hesitated for a moment before checking his cards and then sending them to the muck.

Duong Eliminates Hecklen
Duey Duong raised to 175,000 in middle position and Henrik Hecklen called in the cutoff. Kevin Maahs three-bet to 430,000 in the small blind and both Duong and Hecklen called.
The flop came and Maahs started with a check. Duong fired out a bet of 550,000 and Hecklen shoved all in for around 3,900,000. Maahs quickly folded and Duong flicked in a chip to call.

Colpoys Four-Bets Brinkley, Then Calls His Bluff
Dan Colpoys has been seen nursing a short stack throughout almost the entirety of Day 5. He was last seen with just over 600,000 and just shared the fact he got as low as 300,000 before chipping back up to 1.2 million "somehow, without showdown."
From there, Colpoys found a double with pocket aces and has won a few and lost a few pots since with the general trajectory upward. He started the following hand with around 3.1 million.
Colpoys opened from under the gun to 160,000 and action folded around to Andrew Brinkley, who was on the button. Brinkley asked him how much he was playing and he responded that he wasn't sure. Brinkley asked how that could be in a joking manner as Colpoys counted and cut out some chips to get a ballpark figure.
Brinkley announced a raise to 450,000 and the blinds got out of the way. Colpoys quickly four-bet all in.
Brinkly took about five seconds to fold, saying, "alright, I'll fold my jacks to you,"
"No you won't," said Colpoys as he turned over . A few people at the table laughed a little. "Show it, show the jacks," egged Colpoys as he pushed the two cards Brinkley had mucked and sent to the center of the table a little bit back in his direction. Brinkley responded pushing them away to the direction of the dealer.
"That's what I thought buddy. You didn't have jacks. You're f*****," laughed Colpoys as he finished stacking his newly accumulated chips.
Andrew Brinkley | 4,950,000 | -450,000 |
Dan Colpoys | 3,700,000 | 3,060,000 |
