Diaz Done

David Diaz just open-raised all in for about 95,000 from middle position, and when it folded around to Douglas MacKinnon on the button he reraised all in over the top. The blinds got out, and the players tabled their cards...

Diaz: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
MacKinnon: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop was safe for Diaz's queens, but the {K-Clubs} fell on the turn to put MacKinnon in front. The river then brought the {6-Clubs}, and Diaz was eliminated.

Valerstein Vanquished; Jablonski, Kerstetter Continue

We just had a three-way all in involving a trio of short stacks — Stan Jablonski, Roman Valerstein, and Jamie Kerstetter.

Valerstein got things started with an all-in push from middle position, and Kerstetter reraised all in from a seat over. It then folded back to Jablonski who called all in from the blinds with the 40,000 or so he had left.

Jablonski: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Valerstein: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Kerstetter: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, and all were remarking on Jablonski's double-gutter draw. Then the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, and the conversation turned to flushes. Then came the river... the {8-Hearts}! Jablonski hit his flush to survive with a triple-up, while Kerstetter essentially broke even on the hand.

Meanwhile, Valerstein hits the rail in 44th place for a cash of $3,604.

Failla Short

Will Failla opened to 17,000 in the cutoff and Adam Teasdale defended his big blind.

The {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop was checked by both players, landing the {8-Spades} on the turn. Teasdale bet 20,000, Failla popped it to 45,000, and Teasdale called to see the {2-Hearts} river. A check from Teasdale led to a bet of 60,000 from Failla, which Teasdale called after a few moments.

"You win," said Failla.

Teasdale tabled {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Failla sent his cards to the muck.

Failla Hangs On

Will "The Thrill" Failla is hanging on, having just doubled up to take a few chips back from Adam Teasdale.

The hand saw Teasdale open with a min-raise to 16,000 from middle position, then Failla called from the big blind, leaving himself but 30,000 or so behind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}, Failla set out his remaining chips, and Teasdale called.

"Nuts," said Failla, showing {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for a hand that had connected with the board. Teasdale showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and after the {8-Diamonds} turn and {9-Spades} river, Failla survived.

Fish on a Roll

Zachary Hall started the action with an all-in shove for 110,000 from the hijack. Next to act was Brandon Fish and he re-raised all in over the top. It folded to the player in the big blind who called all in for about 230,000 with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Fish tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Hall turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} as Fish was out outflopped, but made a flush on the turn to score the double elimination.

To balance tables, Sumit Kumar was moved over with his stack of about 50,000. He got it in right away, but ran into Fish's pocket aces. Kumar found no help from the board to give another pot to Fish.
