Eliminations and Double-Ups Abound

to give him a double-up to 155,000.Anthony Venturini was also the recipient of a bad-beat double-up after running his kings into the pocket aces of an opponent (whose ID tag was missing). It was a king on the turn for Venturini. When the stacks were counted down, Venturini's 429,000 was doubled by his opponent, who was left with just 5,000 chips and busted on the next hand.

Palovic's Ninja Skills No Match for Spijkers
"It's a good one," Palovic told Becker as he showed him the photo. It was at that moment that Palovic's 85,000-chip reraise from the small blind was re-reraised to 200,000 by big blind Gijsbertus Spijkers. Once the original raiser, Mikhail Tulchinskiy, folded, Palovic counted out the chips necessary to call. He slid them forward with a strong, "I call."
The flop was
and Palovic quickly moved all in."How much do you have?" Spijkers asked. Palovic made no motion or response, causing the dealer to countdown his neat stacks of five chips each. She estimated it was about 300,000. Upon hearing that, Spijkers quickly called.

. "King-jack?" Palovic gasped. Spijkers didn't say anything, choosing instead to watch the dealer burn and turn the turn and river. He clapped his hands and pumped the air with a fist.A stunned Palovic was led away from the table by tournament staff to collect his winnings.
