Sheth Runs Hot to Bust Da-Silva

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ravi Sheth raised to 10,000 in middle position before Chris Da-Silva three-bet to 28,000 in the cutoff. Sheth then moved all in, and Da-Silva snap-called for 160,000.

Chris Da-Silva: K♦K♥ All in
Ravi Sheth: A♠4♠

Da-Silva was a big favorite to double up with his kings, but he needed to dodge a straight draw after the flop came 5♥3♣Q♥. The 2♣ turn gave Sheth the wheel, and Da-Silva was drawing dead by the 10♠ river and headed to the exit.

Arun Sood bet 15,000 from the cutoff on a flop of K♦6♣8♥ and Jamie Walden called under the gun.

Sood bet another 20,000 on the Q♠ turn and Walden again called. The river was the 6♠ and Soon instantly threw in 25,000 as soon as Walden checked to him.

Walden called once more. "King. Kicker is no good," Sood said, turning over K♠5♣. Walden mucked.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Liviu Bartha three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind before Mitchell Johnson moved all in from the hijack. Bartha snap-called.

Liviu Bartha: K♦K♣ All in
Mitchell Johnson: A♦K♠

Bartha had woken up with kings and left Johnson looking for an ace. The 7♦3♥2♠ flop was safe for Bartha, while the 4♥ turn also gave Johnson outs to a straight. Johnson hit the 5♠ on the river to make his straight.

"Not like that!" tablemate Mariusz Czech said, doing his best Martin Kabrhel impression.

The stacks were counted down and Johnson had Bartha's remaining 110,000 covered by just 500, earning him the knockout.

Serghei Zglavoci raised to 75,000 in middle position, leaving himself just 6,000 behind, and Longmao Fan called in the hijack. Zglavoci then put in his last chips on the 5♣9♠4♠ flop and Fan called.

Serghei Zglavoci: Q♠Q♦ All in
Longmao Fan: A♣K♥

Zglavoci was ahead with his queens, but Fan spiked the K♠ on the turn to take the lead. Zglavoci had a flush draw, but he missed the 3♦ river and was sent to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alex O'Brien moved all in for her last 60,000 from under the gun and Jamie Walden put her at risk in the big blind.

Alex O'Brien: A♥K♦ All in
Jamie Walden: 9♣9♦

The 6♦3♦8♦ flop gave Walden a flush draw along with his pair, while the rest of the board came Q♠10♥ to keep him in the lead and send O'Brien to the rail.

"She's going to roast you on commentary, now," tablemate Martin Hellmuth said to Walden.

"Worst player in history," O'Brien added in jest.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yifan Zheng raised to 8,000 in early position and Fernando Conte called in middle position. Christopher Johnson then three-bet to 23,500 in the hijack.

Michael Delaney called in the big blind as action went back on Zheng, who moved all in. Conte and Johnson quickly folded, but Delaney used a few time banks and tanked for a minute before calling for 120,000.

Michael Delaney: A♥J♦ All in
Yifan Zheng: K♠K♣

Delaney was looking for an ace to stay alive, but he missed the 8♣7♥2♥5♠Q♦ board and Zheng took the big pot to send Delaney to the rail.

Thomas Clack was also recently eliminated.
