Bachar-d Luck

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Josef Bachar was knocked down to just 50,000 after a fortunate short-stacked Philippe Boucher outdrew his {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} with {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} (all in preflop). The flop brought the {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the turn and river came {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} leaving Bachar shaking his head and embracing the felt.

Boucher is up to 240,000.

Ristola Doubles Through Studart

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Joao Studart raised from the hijack and faced a shove from Markus Ristola on the button. After a little bit of a tank, Studart called and they turned their cards over.

Studart: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Ristola: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Board: {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Ristola is up to 500,000 now, around the average. Studart looked unhappy about it - he is no longer among the bigger stacks, but is just a shade above average on 620,000.

Wilinofsky Eliminated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ben Wilinofsky
Ben Wilinofsky

Ben Wilinofsky was all in for his last 110,000 or so with {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and managed to double up against {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on a {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board. Barely a couple of hands later and he had raised to 20,000 and then called all in against Gerardo Godinez' shove.

Wilinofsky: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Godinez: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Flop: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}

"Seven!" said Gordinez.
"Five-ball, I'm not greedy," replied Wilinofsky.

The {7-Spades} gave Wilinofsky a flush draw, a fact not lost on the Canadian who said with a wry smile, "That's what you asked for, a seven..."

Despite having numerous outs to both win and chop, Wilinofsky couldn't hit any of them on the {Q-Clubs} river and was then eliminated. Lucien Cohen is our last remaining former winner still in.

Weisner's Woes

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

Melanie Weisner was all in for her last 200,000 or so (it was hard to see from our angle) against Ivan Freitez' {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. She turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Freitez declared he wanted a flop of "ace, king, king for my lady...my friend."

Instead the dealer put out a board of {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and despite Freitez's pleas on the turn for an ace, king or queen, none was forthcoming. He moves up to about the 1 million mark.

Sarah Grant spoke with Melanie about this hand and her love of the EPT.
