Oh, That's Broadway!

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The short-stacked Pierce McKellar got his last 30,000 or so all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Je Wook Oh.

Pierce McKellar: A♥Q♣
Je Wook Oh: A♦K♥

McKellar needed some help and got some when the Q♠8♦J♥ flop paired his queen. However, his lead was only temporary as the 10♣ spiked on the turn to give Oh a Broadway straight.

The A♠ river changed nothing and McKeller bowed out within the first 15 minutes of play on Day 2.

Boen Hits Quads Twice In First Orbit

Connor Richards

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Valentyn Shabelnyk was all in from early position for around 45,000 against Leonardo Boen in the big blind, who had him covered.

Valentyn Shabelnyk: A♦Q♦
Leonardo Boen: 9♣9♦

Shabelnyk had no shot at staying alive as the flop landed K♥9♠9♥ to give Boen quads before the meaningless runout of 3♠3♦ confirmed Shabelnyk's elimination.

"That's the second time he's had quads," Jim Collopy told PokerNews. "In the first orbit."

Moreno Sends Laplante to the Rail Early

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ryan Laplante open-jammed for 27,500 from the cutoff and action folded to Andrew Moreno in the big blind. He looked down at a big one and wasted little time in making the call.

Andrew Moreno: K♦K♣
Ryan Laplante: K♠3♠

Laplante was in need of some major help but failed to receive any as the board ran out a lackluster J♥6♣7♠7♦8♦.
