Back-to-Back Hands Send Sebok Home

A player in Seat 4 raised to 600 in late position and Joe Sebok moved all in from the big blind. Seat 4 only had 2,425 total and made the call for his tournament life.

Sebok: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Seat 4: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades}, giving Seat 4 the double up and crippling Sebok, who was left with just 1,425.

The very next hand, the player in Seat 3 raised to 550 and Sebok moved all in. Seat 3 called and showed {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} which was dominated by Sebok's {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

When the flop came {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Sebok threw up his hands in frustration and said, "Nice hand." Even before the {6-Hearts} appeared on the turn, Sebok was out of his seat gathering his things. The {3-Spades} on the river made it official, Sebok is out of the tournament.

David Baker Takes a Hit

David Daneshgar limped in on the button and David Baker checked in the big blind.

The flop ran out {5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Baker fired a 800-chip bet. Daneshgar popped it to 1,600, leaving a few hundreds back, and Baker tanked call.

The turn was a {10-Clubs} and Baker moved all in. Daneshgar called.

Showdown
Baker: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Daneshgar: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The river card was a {10-Spades} and Baker slipped to 4,500.

Courtesy Double Up

Lee Markholt was priced in to call an opponent's all in for around 1,400. Markholt was in bad shape with his {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} of Seat 5.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Markholt promptly asked for a heart. Unfortunately for him, the {6-Diamonds} on the turn left him drawing dead. The {4-Clubs} on the river made it official and Markholt dropped to 11,000.

Eights Good for Horecki

Marcin Horecki opened the pot with a 825-chip raise in early position, and the small blind moved all in for about 4,500 chips. The Polish player called and tabled pocket eights.

The small blind showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

The {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} board, gave Horecki 14,000 chips.

Beasley Disgusted

Mike Beasley, who finished second to Vanessa Selbst in a recent NAPT event, was left shaking his head in disgust after the last hand. On a board reading {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Beasley and his opponent got all of the chips in. Beasley showed {A-}{Q-Clubs} for top pair with a good kicker but his opponent showed {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a set.

Beasley took a hit of around 5,000 to his stack, leaving him with abround 5,800.
