Sombero Stumbles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stefan Hjorthall has more than doubled up at the expense of Wally Sombero.

Hjorthall opened to 12,500 from middle position before Daniel Hansson made it 27,000 from the button. Sombero made it 60,000 from the big blind and Hjorthall shoved for his last 74,000. Hansson stepped aside as Sombero made the call.

Hjorthall: {J-Diamonds}

Sombero:

The board arrived {8-Spades}

and Hjorthall's jacks hold up to double through.

Stanley Hou Eliminated in 41st Place ($6,244)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dueling flush draws wound up being a big problem for Stanley Hou. He got all of his chips in the middle against Brandon Demes on a flop of {7-Diamonds}

. Each player had a flush draw, with Hou's {K-Diamonds}

bigger than Demes' {6-Diamonds}

. Neither hit the turn {A-Spades}

, but Demes made a lowly pair of fours with a {4-Hearts}

on the river to take the pot and send Hou to an inglorious elimination in 41st place.

Dan Schreiber Crippled, then Eliminated in 40th Place ($8,321)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We're not sure how Dan Schreiber wound up all in with {J-Clubs}

against Remy Bakke's {Q-Clubs}

. With blinds as big as they are, it probably only took two raises. But there they were, all in preflop for 89,500 chips. Bakke was the player at risk of elimination, but he was also the player who doubled up on a board of {10-Hearts}

.

That hand left Schreiber with just 30,000 chips. He was eliminated a few hands later.

It was two raises to all-in status for Andrew Scott. He opened the pot preflop with a standard raise, then called all in after Andrew Chung put him in. Chung had a huge hand, {K-Diamonds}
