Aces Hold for Scrogins

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ben Scrogins opened to 2,700 in middle position and George Shenoda flat-called as the player next to act. The small blind then three-bet shoved a stack of about 16,000 and Scrogins called. Shenoda tanked for about a minute before folding.

Small Blind: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Ben Scrogins: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The small blind was in trouble as he had run into aces, and the board of {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} did not help him. Scrogins added to his growing stack and his opponent hit the rail.

Tae Eliminated by Costa

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Lucas Tae open-shoved a stack of around 12,000 from early position and the action folded to Margel Costa in the big blind, who called with Tae covered.

Lucas Tae: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Margel Costa: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Tae was drawing quite thin and didn't get any help from the runout of {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades} to send him to the rail.

Tae had a better showing in yesterday's Event #5: $600 NLH, which he finished first in for $7,911.
