Good Run for Kipnis

Kirk Brown

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

PokerNews missed the hand, but Jason Kipnis informed the team of his bust out. He relayed that he got it all in preflop against Paul Gunness who covered.

Jason Kipnis: AxKx
Paul Gunness: AxQx

The flop came out Ax10x10x to give both players an ace with Kipnis in the lead, and the turn 3x changed nothing, but the Qx on the river gave Gunness superior two-pair to eliminate the former MLB player.

Welp! That’ll do it folks. Finally got eliminated #. Had A K… all in verse an A Q….. guy hits a Q on the River #..… https://t.co/H8Ilt1AzsD

Weng's Kings Can't Survive Linde's Jacks

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dylan Linde opened to 11,000 from the hijack before Bin Weng made it 41,500 from the small blind. Action folded back to Linde, who moved all in as the slightly bigger stack. Weng, who had just shy of 200,000 total, snap-called after confirming with the dealer that Linde had shipped in his stack.

Bin Weng: K♦K♠
Dylan Linde: J♠J♥

Weng, the No.1 player on the GPI Rankings thanks to numerous major wins this year, was way ahead until Linde leapfrogged him on the J♣6♥5♦ flop. The 5♣9♣ runout confirmed his exit and he wished the players good luck as he left.

"Kings not nice to me today, I can't win with these," he laughed as he exited the poker room.

Caught up with @BinWeng88, winner of The Return @BorgataPoker back in Jan. It’s been a life changing year for Weng… https://t.co/D3lU9qvO3r
