Conte Busts

Adam Bitker opened to 11,000 on the button, Frank Conte moved all in for around 95,000 from the small blind, and Bitker called.

Bitker: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Conte: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop was fairly dry, but the {j-Hearts} spiked on the turn, giving Bitker a leading pair of jacks. The {7-Clubs} bricked on the river, and Conte was eliminated.

Bitker is up to 320,000 chips.

Joseph Doubles Through Palma

After a series of bets and raises, Nicholas Palma, who was in the big blind, re-raised to 30,500 more than the previous bet. Jean Elie Joseph, who was in the small blind, called.

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and Joseph shoved all in for around 80,000. Palma quickly called.

Joseph: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Palma: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The turn and river came {4-Hearts}, {5-Spades} respectively, and Joseph doubled to 240,000 chips. Palma slipped to 550,000.

Pahuja Picks One Up

The Life of Reilly

Bryan Leskowitz open-shoved his last 126,000 on the button, and Timothy Reilly called in the small blind. The big blind released, and the hands were opened.

Leskowitz: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Reilly: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop gave Leskowitz a set, the case seven ({7-Diamonds}) on the turn gave him quads, and a meaningless {k-Spades} completed the board. Leskowitz doubled to 264,000 chips, while Reilly slipped to 496,000.

Strasser: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Schwartz: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and Strasser wished the table good luck before exiting.
