Andre Baillargeon "Smith" Eliminated in 18th Place ($3,684)

[user127999]

Just a few hands after doubling up with pocket aces, Andre Baillargeon "Smith" found himself pondering a call for his tournament life.

William Vogel had put him all in on the {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds} board.

"I might make the sickest call of my life here," he said. "I have king high and I might call. It doesn't matter. I call."

Vogel turned over {a-Hearts} {7-Spades} for the full house and Baillargeon's king-high hit the muck as he hit the rail.

Naing Bubbles

[user127999]

After a Michael Mizrachi raise and a call from Lou Procopio, Robert "Hoss" Colao shipped it in.

Kyaw Naing re-shoved, Mizrachi re-re-shoved and after Procopio released, the hands were revealed:

Kyaw Naing: {a-Clubs} {q-Clubs}
Robert "Hoss" Colao: {j-Spades} {j-Clubs}
Michael Mizrachi: {a-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts} giving "The Grinder" and "Hoss" open-ended straight draws, which hit on the {7-Spades} turn and got even better after the {q-Hearts} river.
