Andrews Busts Again... With Exact Same Cards

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Cherish Andrews
Cherish Andrews

Cherish Andrews opened to 1,200 from early position. Daniel Monosson on her direct left stuck in the call, before cutoff Travis Egbert popped in a three-bet to 4,800.

Andrews then made it 9,900, leaving a single T-100 chip behind. Monosson moved all in for 31,900, and Egbert went into the tank. He eventually elected to call, and Andrews flicked in her final chip, too.

Cherish Andrews: J♠J♦ All in
Daniel Monosson: K♣K♥
Travis Egbert: A♣K♠

Unbelievably, Andrews had the exact same two cards that had busted her for the first time mere hours ago. Yet again, she was up against kings, but this time she had to beat ace-king, also.

There was a slight sweat, but Monosson made a boat on the 3♠9♠3♦2♠K♦ runout to secure more than a full double, as well as an elimination.

Lauren Monosson opened to 1,500 under the gun, and called after Mike Gao three-bet to 3,600 from late position.

On a flop of K♠10♠6♥ Monosson checked it over, before folding to Gao's bet of 3,000.

Evola Windmills It

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Brock Wilson opened to 1,100 from the cutoff, and Brandon Hamlet called on the button. Salvatore Evola three-bet to 4,500 from the big blind, and Hamlet was his only caller.

Hamlet called a bet of 3,000 on the 5♣Q♠5♥ flop, before calling another one on the 4♠ turn. Evola then snap-shoved the 3♦ river and Hamlet snap-folded.

Evola windmilled K♥2♥ which garnered quite the reaction from the table.

Elsewhere, Matthew Zambanini bust then re-entered.

Glazer Gets Gao

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Nicholas Palma opened the action with a raise to 1,200 from middle position. Mike Gao on his left moved all in for 5,000, and big blind Jordan Glazer reshoved for some 46,000. Palma quickly folded.

Mike Gao: K♠Q♠ All in
Jordan Glazer: 10♣10♠

A queen in the window looked good for Gao, but the full 3♠10♦Q♥ flop had him in awful shape. The 4♦ turn had him drawing dead, leaving the 9♥ river inconsequential.

Gao has since re-entered.

Becker Busts

Jeremy Becker
Jeremy Becker

Jeremy Becker opened to 1,000 from middle position, and Daniel Escherich on his direct left three-bet to 3,000. Becker folded when action was back onto him.

The very next hand, Becker opened to the same amount, and Escherich three-bet to the exact same amount. This time, Becker made the call.

On a flop of 9♥10♠3♣. Becker check-raised to 4,500 following his opponent's bet of 1,800. Escherich called, and the two saw a 4♠ turn. Becker shoved, and Escherich called.

Jeremy Becker: Q♦J♦ All in
Daniel Escherich: Q♥Q♠

The Q♣ river improved both players, but it was Escherich who had the best of it to send his opponent home. Becker has since re-entered, as has Joe McKeehen, who busted on another table.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Michael Gagliano opened to 1,100 from late position, and Mike Gao called in the cutoff. Salvatore Evola did the same from the big blind.

On a monotone flop of 9♠7♠5♠, Evola led out, which forced both of his opponents out of the pot.

Queen's Prediction Comes True

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Drew O'Connell opened to 1,100 from middle position, and Alex Queen put in the call on his left. "To the river we go," announced Queen.

He was indeed correct, as the two players checked all the way to the river, leaving the board to read Q♦8♦J♦9♦J♣. Here, O'Connell bet out for 1,500 and Queen let his cards go.

Evola Shows One

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Salvatore Evola opened to 1,500 under the gun, and Mike Gao called on the button. Small blind Brandon Hamlet three-bet to 5,500, and only Evola called.

Hamlet continued for 3,000 on the A♠3♥9♠ flop, and Evola put in the call, bringing in the 8♠ turn. Here, Hamlet slowed down with a check, then snap-folded to his opponent's snap-shove.

Evola showed the J♣ which brought a disapproving shake of the head from Hamlet.

Elsewhere, Kharlin Sued and Jeremy Becker took their seats.
