Kelly Eliminated By Johnson

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

There was all in action preflop between Andrew Johnson and Kevin Kelly with Kelly at risk.

Kevin Kelly: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Andrew Johnson: {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Kelly was ahead and flopped two-pair with the {5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop but it also gave Johnson a gutterball.

The {10-Spades} turn completed Johnson's straight and Kelly needed a king or jack to stay alive but the river fell the {4-Clubs} ending his tournament just before the money bubble.

Ishanov Shows Kings

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

Harsha Nagathihalli Jagadish opened under the gun for 14,000 and Azim Ishanov three-bet to 35,000 from middle position. Action on the table folded back around to Jagadish who called.

The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Jagadish check-called Ishanov's 25,000 continuation bet.

The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and Jagadish checked his option once again and Ishanov fired out 50,000 sending Jagadish into the tank.

After a few minutes of careful consideration, Jagadish mucked {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Ishanov showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Mader Applies Heat in the Tundra

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

There was three-way action that saw a {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and action was checked to Sam Vizza who fired out 26,000 into a 45,000 pot from middle position.

Action was on Anthony Dunne who raised to 65,000 from the small blind and Phil Mader three-bet jammed from under the gun.

Vizza went into the tank as he would have to call off his stack to make the call. After a few minutes, Vizza tossed his hand into the mucks and Dunne followed suit giving Mader the pot.

Aces-Versus-King Cooler

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

Over at Table 7, Chad Poitra opened for 17,000 from the cutoff and was met by a three-bet to 38,000 from Daniel Kinney in the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and Poitra thought for a bit before four-betting all in for 172,500. Kinney snap-called and discovered the bad news.

Chad Poitra: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Daniel Kinney: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Kinney was on the bad end of the cooler and failed to get lucky as the board ran out a clean {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Ship the double to Poitra!

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jeffrey Taylor
Jeffrey Taylor

Jeffery Taylor opened for 11,000 from middle position and was called by Bennett Wadekamper on the button along with Jeff Minnerly from the big blind.

The {7-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop was checked to Taylor who tossed out a 20,000 continuation bet and Wadekamper raised to 70,000. Minnerly folded while Taylor called putting his stack at risk.

Jeffery Taylor: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Bennett Wadekamper: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Both players flopped an ace but Taylor was out-kicked by Wadekamper.

The board paired with the {7-Clubs} turn but it didn't change a thing nor the {6-Hearts} river and Taylor took his leave from the tournament field.

Ian Matakis
Ian Matakis

There was all in action preflop between Ian Matakis on the button and John Reading from the big blind.

John Reading: {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Matakis held a commanding lead and nothing changed after the {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

The {4-Spades} turn paired Reading and he needed another to eliminate Matakis but it wouldn't be as the river dropped the {3-Clubs} securing Matakis's double up worth 68,500.
