Boskovic Eliminates Onay

Will Shillibier

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Hasan Onay moved all in from under the gun for 35,500. It folded to Dean Boskovic who slid out a raise to somewhere in the region of 80,000. The remaining players all folded.

"I'm gonna flop a straight flush," said Onay, tabling Q♠9♠. Boskovic showed A♦Q♣

Onay implored the dealer for a nine on every street of the 2♥2♦5♦K♦2♣ board, but to no avail and he was eliminated.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sayed Jabbour was sitting pretty with a stack in excess of 600,000 and his tablemates relayed the information to PokerNews.

Zelig Otter and Jabbour went heads-up to a Jx9x3x flop in a three-bet pot. Jabbour continued for 13,000 and Otter called.

The turn was a Kx putting two spades on the board. Jabbour checked and Otter bet 55,000. Jabbour check-raised to 120,000 before Otter shoved for around 280,000.

Jabbour called with Qx10x for the nuts with Otter turning over AxQx for just ace-high. The river bricked sending Otter to the rail.

On the very next hand, Tomas Szwarcberg bet the 9♦8♣5♠10♠6♦ river for 12,000 into a pot of 80,000. His opponent Ethan Erdeljac raised to 50,000 and Szwarcberg called. Erdeljac showed A♥9♥ for a pair of nines, but that was no good against the A♦A♠ of his opponent.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lauchlan Swann opened form middle position and Dejan Boskovic three-bet all in for 56,500 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and Swann made the quick call.

Dejan Boskovic: A♠7♣ All in
Lauchlan Swann: A♥A♣

It wasn't a good spot for Boskovic, who was already on his feet before the flop had come K♥10♣5♠. He was heading to the door on the J♦ turn and the 6♣ river sealed his fate.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a 10♣6♥2♥9♠A♠ river, and with 55,000 in the middle already, Pierce Hynes moved all in for 40,000 and was snap-called by Slade Fisher.

Pierce Hynes: 8♣7♠ All in
Slade Fisher: A♦A♣

Fisher's rivered set wasn't good enough as Hynes had turned a straight and doubled to just under 200,000 chips.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of Q♣6♠3♣ and it was the first player, Bernie Stang, who shoved for 76,500 into a pot of around 25,000. Mark Yazbeck called and Martin Finger folded.

Bernie Stang: A♣8♣ All in
Mark Yazbeck: Q♥8♥

Yazbeck had flopped top pair but would have to dodge clubs or an ace to send Stang to the rail. The turn was the 9♠ and the river the 4♥ and Stang was eliminated.
