Do's Cowboys Eliminate Zhelev

Dan O'Hair

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Danail Zhelev shoved for around 50,000 from early position and was called by Anh Do in the hijack. Everyone else folded and hands were tabled.

Danail Zhelev: 2♥2♦
Anh Do: K♠K♦

Zhelev was in rough shape and the J♣9♥9♠K♣8♠ runout needlessly improved Do to a full house — eliminating Zhelev as we approach the Day 2 bubble.

Iliodoros Kamatakis open raised from late position and Andreas Samuelsson reraised from the button. Kamatakis responded by moving all in for the rest of his opponent's stack and Samuelsson made the call.

Andreas Samuelsson: Q♣Q♠
Iliodoros Kamatakis: J♦J♣

Kamatakis had pocket jacks and Samuelsson had pocket queens. The board ran out Q♥K♠A♠9♥10♦. Samuelsson made trip queens on the flop and Kamatakis picked up a backdoor straight draw.

The river completed Kamtakis' straight to send Samuelsson to the rail.

Matt Warburton

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 8♥7♥4♦9♦. Anh Do was all in against Johny Mendes. Chip stacks were near even, but Anh Do had a few more, meaning Mendes was at risk of busting the bubble. Players flipped their cards.

Johny Mendes: 6♣5♠
Anh Do: Q♥10♥

Mendes had a straight and Do had a flush draw and straight draw. The tournament director gave the instruction for the rest of the hand to be dealt. The dealer turned the river card, which was the 8♣.

Mendes held up and Do was reduced to just a single big blind.

The next hand, Do was in the big blind with his chips in the middle. Omer Smidt raised to 13,000 from middle position and all other players folded. Do was already all in and so players flipped their cards.

Anh Do: J♥2♣
Omar Smidt: A♦J♦

The board ran out A♥9♣K♦4♠6♥. Smidt hit a pair of aces on the flop and held up while Do was eliminated on the bubble.
