A short stacked Gabriel Nassif moved all in from late position and received a call from the player in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and Nassif showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} which was up against his opponent's {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Nassif struck gold when the flop came {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}, pairing his king and putting him in the lead. The board finished with the {8-Diamonds} and the {Q-Spades}, allowing the double up chips to be pushed Nassif's way.

Emotional Chop For Forrest

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Ted Forrest
Ted Forrest

A short stacked player moved all in from middle position and it folded to Ted Forrest in the small blind. After some thinking Forrest moved all in over the top. Daniel Makowsky, who was sitting in the big blind, went into the tank before also announcing a call.

Short Stack: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Forrest: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Makowsky: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Forrest did a fist pump when he saw that he was ahead but quickly turned sour when the door card was the {8-Diamonds}, giving Makowsky a set. The dealer spread out the flop and the other two cards were the {7-Diamonds} and the {10-Diamonds}, also giving Forrest a set.

"Sorry, sorry," remarked Forrest to Makowsky when he learned that he was in fact in the lead.

The {J-Clubs} came on fourth street and Makowsky yelled for a nine to come, which would cause all three players to chop the pot. The dealer pounded the table and dealt the river:

The {9-Diamonds}.

"Come on!" exclaimed Forrest as each player reached to bring the chips in front of them back to their respective stacks. Through that river, Forrest was unlucky enough to be denied a big opportunity to add to his stack.

Adios, Aldridge

We found Ken Aldridge moving his last 55,000 in before the flop and was called by an opponent who tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Aldridge showed {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and was in need of some help to stay alive in this tournament.

The board came {9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and his opponent was able to drag in the pot, sending Aldridge to the rail.
