Sam Korman Eliminated

Sam Korman and Billy Sukkar got their chips all in on a flop of Q-T-6, Sukkar well in the lead with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} to Korman's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Korman, a jack spiked on the turn and Korman couldn't catch a miracle ace on the river. This hand left Korman in bad shape on around 1,500 chips with Sukkar up to over 4,000.

The Turtle Nevermore

The Turtle = Busto
The Turtle = Busto
David "The Turtle" Saab just busted out. He was crippled when his Jacks ran into Kings. He shoved all in on the next hand with A-9 and lost when an opponent called with pocket Jacks. His hand could not improve and he headed to the rail.

Gary Benson Doubles Up

On a board of {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, Gary Benson moved all in on the river and his opponent insta-called for his tournament life, tabling {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Benson, though had turned trips with his measly {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and dragged a huge pot, doubling his stack to 7,000.

A middle position player opened the pot for 450 and Anna Wroblewski called. The flop was {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Wroblewski's opponent led out for 800 on the flop and she made the call. The turn was the {7-Hearts}, making Wroblewski's straight. Fortunately for Anna, her opponent moved all in and she insta-called, showing the nuts to his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. She's now up to over 14,000 in chips.

Emad Tahtouh Takes A Hit

With the board showing {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades} Emad made a quick call on the river against his opponent's all in bet. However Emad wasn't happy to see his opponent flip over {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the full house. Emad grumbled about the river before flashing the {A-Hearts} and mucking his hand in disgust.

Emad is now down to around 18,000 chips.
