Phelps PCA Run Comes To An End

Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps

The PCA 2013 Main Event has a special feel to it, but that was made all the more special with the participation of the most-decorated Olympian of all time in Michael Phelps. Unfortunately, Phelps just fell at the hands of Eddy Sabat.

According to Sabat, he opened for 4,800 and received a call from Phelps. The rest of the field got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Sabat led for 6,200, Phelps called, and then the dealer burned and turned the {6-Clubs}.

This time Sabat checked and Phelps took the opportunity to bet 8,000. Sabat called and the {J-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Surprisingly Sabat moved all in and Phelps called off his stack with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, Sabat flipped {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for Broadway and Phelps' PCA came to an end.

Mizrachi Hits 500K, Eliminates Hakim and Bilokur

Picking up the action on an {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, a flurry of action saw Alex Blokur all in and Jeff Hakim (having committed 45,000 post flop) tanking after Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi moved all in for 166,000. Hakim spent a good while in the tank before he called all in for just less with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Mizrachi tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and clinched the pot, scoring the double elimination, when the {6-Clubs} turn gave him the nut flush.

Serock Ends Vaillancourt's Tournament

Noah Vaillancourt opened with a raise to 4,800 from middle position. It folded around to Joe Serock's small blind and he slid out a three-bet to 12,800. Action fell back around to Vaillancourt and he thought for a few seconds before moving all of his chips into the middle. Serock quickly announced a call and the hands were tabled.

Vaillancourt: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Serock: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Vaillancourt was in trouble and needed to catch a break on the flop. It looked even more bleak after the dealer spread out {6-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The {A-Spades} on the turn sealed the deal and the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Vaillancourt made a quick exit from the tournament area while Serock stacked up his chips. He's currently sitting on about 380,000.

Chris Klodnicki (Day 1b) doubles

Gilbert Diaz and Chris Klodnicki were heads up on a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Klodnicki checked, Diaz bet what looked like 12,000, and Klodnicki raised to 30,000 on top. Diaz tank-called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, and Klodnicki paused for ten seconds or so before moving all in for 47,200. Diaz slowly cut out enough chips to make the call, then committed them.

Klodnicki: {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Diaz: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Klodnicki doubled.
