Moscati and Lenter Both Peel Aces, Both Bust

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

PLO

Within a minute, two major hands emerged on two different table with each of them resulting in an elimination. Coincidentally, both busted players lost their tournament lives after peeling aces in PLO.

The first hand saw Vincent Moscati move all in on the flop of {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts} but he found himself in a terrible spot with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} as Jesse Vilchez snapped him off with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The {10-Diamonds} turn gave Moscati some chances but a {4-} on the river eliminated him in 23rd place.

Over on another table, Fernando Brito and Scott Lenter were all in with very similar hands:

Lenter: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Brito: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}, delivering a cruel knockout as Brito made queens full of tens. Brito had 205,000, just enough to cover Lenter's 201,000.

Thomas Kim was all in for 107,000 on the flop of {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, facing off against Yuval Bronshtein.

It is unclear how the chips got in the middle but Daniel Negreanu was all in and at risk with {a-}{k-} unfortunately, running into the {a-}{a-} of Jordan Polk.

No help came on a jack-high board and Negreanu was eliminated in 29th place.
