Three Pair

Limit Hold'em:

Heung Yoon raised to 4,000, and Klein Bach reraised to 6,000. Yoon made the call, and was all in and at risk. He tabled {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} and was racing Bach's {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

The board ran down {6-Spades} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, and the two pair on the board made Bach's {A-Hearts} live, counterfeiting Yoon's underpair. After losing the race in the worst way, he has been sent to the exit.

Adios Olivia

Limit Hold'em:

Olivia Boeree checked the flop of {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} over to Daniel Kraus. Kraus bet, Boeree raised, Kraus reraised, and then Boeree called all in.

Boeree: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Kraus: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}

The turn came the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Spades} to bounce Boeree from the tournament.

Color Up and Break

The tournament clock has been paused while the T25 green chips are raced off and colored up. After that is complete, the players will have 20 minutes for a break.

Siharath Done On the River

No-Limit Hold'em:

Samrane Siharath raised all in from middle position. Michael Guzzardi reraised from late position. Action folded around to Sam Hiatt in the big blind, who moved all in for 15,000. Guzzardi folded and left the other two to battle it out.

Siharath: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}
Hiatt: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and the river did the most damage, ousting Siharath from the event.

Mammon Eliminated

No-Limit Hold'em:

Josh Mammon moved all in for his remaining chips from middle position. Action folded to Elliot Smith in the big blind, who made the call.

Smith held {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} and was on top of Mammon's {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, netting Smith the win and eliminating Mammon.

Ha Not Laughing Now

No-Limit Hold'em:

Michael Reed raised it up from middle position, and Vimy Ha shoved his last 6,300 in from the big blind. Reed called with {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}. Ha tabled {J-Spades} {9-Spades} and was apparently content to race for a double-up.

No double-up was to come for him, though. The board came out {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, nothing useful at all for Ha. He is sent to the rail, but managed to limp his way into the money nonetheless.

Andy Adolfsson Eliminated

No-Limit Hold'em:

Andy Adolfsson was all in preflop against Peter Rho. Rho held {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} and Adolfsson held {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and was the short stack with his tournament life on the line.

The flop came {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, pairing both players. The turn came the {K-Clubs} and the river the {8-Hearts} to end Adolfsson's tournament run.

Rho is up to 93,000.

We Have a Bubble Boy

Bob Lauria was sitting under the gun with just 600 chips left. He looked down at {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and stuck it in. Nam Le raised in middle position and isolated Lauria, who was at risk. Le tabled {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}.

The board frowned on Lauria, coming out {A-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Bob Lauria took one for the team, much to the delight of his fellow players, and headed out of the room on the bubble. The remaining 72 players are now in the money.
