Germano Left Short by Ferguson, Finished off by Kaepernick

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John Germano
John Germano

Just a couple of hands after his flopped set of fives was run down by Sandy Ferguson in a huge pot that left him with just a few big blinds, John Germano put his last 27,000 in from the small blind after a raise by Ferguson.

Ronald Kaepernick called in the big blind, as did Ferguson.

On the K72 flop, Kaepernick led out for 25,000 and Ferguson folded.

John Germano: A5
Ronald Kaepernick: KJ

Germano had flopped top pair, leaving Germano needing an ace to survive.

The board completed 82, bringing Germano no help and sending him to the rail.

With his elimination, just 20 players remain as what will likely be the final break of the day approaches.

Following a pair of early position limps, Charles Gudaitis moved all in for 115,000 from the cutoff.

Sandy Ferguson re-jammed for about 250,000 and the limpers folded.

Charles Gudaitis: KK
Sandy Ferguson: AA

Gudaitis was on the wrong side of the ultimate preflop cooler, but the dealer spread a flop of KQ7, flopping Gudaitis a set of kings. The board completed 39, earning Gudaitis a double-up the hard way.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ronald Fienberg
Ronald Fienberg

John Germano raised to 15,000 in early position and was called by Ronald Fienberg in the hijack.

On the K87 flop, Germano continued for 25,000 and Fienberg moved all in for just under 100,000.

Germano made the call and had been trapped preflop.

Ronald Fienberg: AA
John Germano: KJ

Fienberg had got the perfect flop to catch Germano with his aces, and after the board completed with the 4 turn and 9 river, he had slow played his way to a double-up.
