Two Hands, Two Three-Bets

HillKerby

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Adam Shenkin opened to 16,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 35,000 by Randy Needens, who was on the button. Action folded back to Shenkin and he peeled. The flop came and Shenkin checked to Needens, who made a continuation-bet of 40,000. Shenkin thought for a bit and folded.

On the following hand, Bobby Sanoubane opened to 16,000 on the button and Ben Keeline announced he was all in from the small blind, taking down the pot after getting the two remaining folds he needed to do so.

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Hassan Kadhem had just stood up and was shaking the tournament director's hand as Nick Pupillo was collecting the chips that were once his. According to the table, Kadhem shoved for 48,000 over a limper and Pupillo put in an isolation raise, going all in over the top of Kadhem. All remaining players folded.

Pupillo improved on the flop when it came and held as the turn and river came safe to secure the knockout.

Dempsey, Kim, Graham Eliminated

HillKerby

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Kim was recently seen heading to the payout desk after being eliminated. He shoved the last of his chips preflop and Patrick Coleman woke up with pocket aces on his direct left, holding to secure the elimination.

A few minutes later, Ruth Graham was eliminated when she got her ace-jack all in preflop against the pocket tens of Steve Harvey and was unable to hold.

Johnathan Dempsey was also eliminated shortly after the break, prior to both Kim and Graham, bringing the total number of players left in the tournament down to 24.

Voorhees Gets Cold Four-Bet Through

HillKerby

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Adrian Buckley opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from the hijack. He was three-bet to 67,000 by Nick Pupillo, who was on the button. Matt Voorhees was in the big blind and announced he was all in.

Buckley asked for counts on both, with Voorhees' stack totaling 184,000. He thought for a while and then announced a fold, while still holding onto his cards for another second. He tossed them into the muck and Pupillo went into the tank for about 30 seconds, checking his cards before pushing them forward to muck them as well.

Buckley let out a sigh after Pupillo folded, saying he had folded jacks; meanwhile, Voorhees now finds himself with about 35 big blinds in front of him.

Adrian Buckley	388,000 -27,000	-27,000
