Peffly is First Out in the Money

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Once the money bubble burst, Alex Peffly got his short stack of 76,000 into the middle and was called by Davidi Kitai.

Alex Peffly: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Davidi Kitai: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades} as Kitai took the lead.

"That's a lot of kings," Peffly said as his tournament hopes looked bleak. The {3-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing as Peffly was eliminated.

Kent Staahle
Kent Staahle

Manig Loeser raised it up in early position and Kent Staahle shoved all in for 100,000 on his left. The action folded back to Loeser who called to put Staahle at risk.

Kent Staahle: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Manig Loeser: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} which boded well for Staahle. The {5-Clubs} hit the turn which gave Loeser a straight draw but Staahle also picked up a flush draw. However, it was the {7-Diamonds} on the river that made Loeser's straight and Staahle was eliminated.

Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Dominik Nitsche opened to 12,000 in the cutoff and Alexandre Reard shoved all in for 136,000 on the button. Manig Loeser re-shoved all in from the small blind which got quick folds from the rest, including Nitsche who flashed an ace.

"That's not good for me," Loeser said as the hands were tabled.

Alexandre Reard: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Manig Loeser: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Loeser didn't need any aces with the king coming on the flop. The turn was the {q-Hearts} and the river was the {k-Hearts}, sending Reard home before the money.

Quenneville Spikes River for a Double

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ben Heath raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Alex Peffly three-bet to 35,000 from middle position. Troy Quenneville four-bet to 188,000 and left just one T-1,000 chip behind before Heath ducked out of the way and Peffly gave it a moment of thought. Peffly called and action was heads-up.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Quenneville checked. Peffly tossed out 1,000 and Quenneville sighed before he tossed in his last chip. The cards were turned up and Quenneville was at risk.

Troy Quenneville: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Alex Peffly: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The turn was a {3-Clubs} with no help, but the river {a-Hearts} was just what Quenneville needed and he secured the double with a pair of aces.
