Rob Hollink is now busto

Rob Hollink was all in for his last 5,800 with two players also making the call; with one of them all in also.

Hollink: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} to see Hollink eliminated.

Big Hand for Duke

Annie Duke
Annie Duke

Following a {10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, there was about 7,000 in the middle when Annie Duke, sitting in the big blind, checked to her opponent in early position. He fired a bet of 8,000, to which Duke responded with a check-raise to 22,500.

Her opponent tanked for a couple of minutes, then announced he was all in for everything he had behind -- about 40,000 chips' worth. Duke instantly called.

Duke showed {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a set of treys, and her opponent somewhat dejectedly tabled his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Spades}, making Duke a full house. And the river was the {6-Spades}, giving her the big pot.

There was a brief pause as it was determined that Duke indeed had her opponent covered. He hits the rail, while Duke now sits with about 110,000.

Benton Busto

Aaron Benton bites the dust
Aaron Benton bites the dust

Unfortunately Aaron Benton has been eliminated from the Main Event.

Re-raising someone preflop with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, Benton saw a {A-}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop fall after his opponent made the call.

Benton and his opponent then got in a raising war before Benton was all in for his tournament life.

Unfortunately for Benton his opponent had trapped him with {A-}{A-}, but that still left Benton with a club draw and backdoor straight draw to stay alive.

The turn was the {Q-Spades} to end Benton's tournament in a cooler hand!

Physioc Doubles Opponent

Grayson Physioc had an opponent all in and dominated. Physioc held the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and his at-risk opponent held the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The player was all in for 13,875.

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. When the queen hit the turn, Physioc yelled "F***!" and then when the river didn't resuck for him he yelled, "God d***it!" He's down to 24,000 in chips.

Junglen on the Rise

There was about 10,000 in the pot and a flop of {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} when Adam Junglen checked to his opponent on the button, who bet 2,200. Junglen raised to 7,200 only to have the button make it 15,000 to go.

Junglen asked the gentleman for a count, which was about 47,000 behind, and then moved all in. "Wow," the button exclaimed as he shot back in his chair. The decision put him into the tank for a couple minutes before he frustratingly mucked.

Junglen is up to around 110,000.

South Soars North

Cole South opened to 1,200 from middle position only to have the small blind move all in for 9,975. South made the call and we were off to a showdown.

South: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Although South was trailing, the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board was spread to see South pushed the pot to move to 90,000 while eliminating another opponent.

ESPN Rooting for Jetten

Right before the break, Jonathan Karamalakis raised to 900, and from middle position, Peter Jetten reraised to 2,400. The small blind made it 10,500 total, and after Karamalakis folded, Jetten called all in for 10,050 total. Jetten had the best of it with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}, while his unhappy opponent showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, and Jetten doubled to 21,500.

He tweeted that ESPN's cameras had come to the table just before the hand, and he fortuitously picked up aces against kings, so the "whole table thinks it was rigged."

PokerNews wishes you well Miami John!

We just overheard Jonathan Aguiar talking to some members of the media row about the exact whereabouts of 'Miami' John Cernuto.

Supposedly Cernuto is sick at the moment, and has returned home to recover while his stack blinds and antes off.

If we find out any additional information on Cernuto and his current 19,425-chips stack, we will let you know!
