Mathers Drops Salazar from the Tournament

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Kevin Mathers
Kevin Mathers

The flop read {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and there was around 35,000 in the pot when two players saw all of their chips head into the middle. One being Kevin Mathers for 107,000 and the other was Eric Salazar who fell just short of that chip mark.

Eric Salazar: {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Kevin Mathers: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Both players tabled the same pair but Mathers was ahead with his ace-kicker. Salazar could still hit two pair or a straight to stay alive but the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs} runout did not improve his hand in the slightest as Mathers scooped the pot, sending Salazar to the rail.

Christensen Finds a River to Stay Alive

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded around to a player on the button who bet 18,000 and Eric Christensen then three-bet all in for 140,000 total from the big blind. His opponent called and the two tabled their hands with Christensen at risk.

Eric Christensen: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop fell {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Christensen no help towards his cause. A {3-Spades} turn card left Christensen with one last chance for romance and the {10-Clubs} river brought lady luck to the ball as he paired up his dime, securing a complete double on the river.
