Chip count update in the final 7

Seward Three-Bet Shoves
▫️▫️

In the latest two hands on the final table, Ryan Hohner limped in from the small blind and Geoffrey Coatar checked his option in the big blind.

They checked to the river on 4♠10♣J♠3♣Q♠, where Hohner bet 2,500,000. Coater kept shouting "Quads," throughout the hand, but didn't think his hand was good enough to call, so he folded.

In the next hand, Peter Fox made it 3,000,000 from under the gun and Nicholas Seward shoved 18,500,000 from the big blind. Fox went into the tank for around two minutes, but eventually settled on a fold.

Couldn't get my AK to hold against 1010 for the 1 million pot. Hit an A and K on turn but he flopped a 10. On to the next one

Morin's Stack Rockets With Aces
▫️▫️

A huge pot just went Matthew Morin's way!

Morin opened from middle position to 1,200,000 and Mikhail Sniatovskii three-bet from the small blind to 3,800,000. Once the action was back on Morin, he moved all in.

"How much is it?" asked Sniatovskii. Morin replied, "Around 17,". As Morin was counting, Sniatovskii slid in a stack and called.

Matthew Morin: A♠A♦ All in
Mikhail Sniatovskii: Q♣Q♦

Morin had the rockets and was hoping they could make his stack blast off into orbit. The flop of 9♥6♠8♠ was clean for Morin and gave hiim a backdoor flush draw. Sniatovskii had two chances at two outs and missed the first attempt as the 9♣ hit the turn.

When the A♥hit the river, Morin improved to a full house and went to celebrate with his rail, while Sniatovskii had to cough up the chips and was left with around 5,000,000.
