Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mark Buckley
Mark Buckley

On a flop {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} in a three-way hand, the pot was already containing over 300,000 when Yi Ang Lin fired 245,000 from the big blind. Danny Tang folded and Mark Buckley eventually called on the button after using one time bank card.

A {2-Clubs} came on the turn and after some though, Lin announced all-in for a stack worth 967,000, putting Buckley into a difficult decision. After using up one more time bank card, Buckley tossed one chip for the call and tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a set of deuces.

Lin, holding {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}, found no split out help on the {7-Clubs} river and got eliminated from the tournament.

Lavallee Out

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After a raise from Jamie O'Connor on the button, Aleksei Gortikov called in the small blind and Jason Lavallee moved all his for a remaining stack around 330,000. O'Connor instantly called and Gortikov considered it for a minute before folding his hand reluctantly.

It was a typical flip situation, Lavallee holding {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and O'Connor{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, but a board {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} gave O'Connor a pair of kings on the turn to eliminate the Canadian player.
