Marrone Eliminated; Ivacson Reenters

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
David Kaufmann
David Kaufmann

Action was caught in a three-handed pot between Jovan Kenjic, Giuseppe Marrone, and David Kaufmann.

There was 3,300 in the pot on the 7♥2♠10♦K♥ board. Kenjic checked from early position, prompting Marrone to fire out 3,200 from middle position. Kaufmann called from the cutoff, and then Kenjic raised to 7,800. Marrone jammed for 19,500, and after some thought, Kaufmann reshoved for 20,700. Kenjic quickly folded.

Giuseppe Marrone: 7♦7♠All in
David Kaufmann: 10♠10♣

It was a set-over-set encounter, and Kaufmann scooped in the pot after the 3♦ river.

One table over, Attila Ivacson was facing a decision for his tournament life against Jon Vallinas.

There was around 20,000 in the middle on the 7♥6♦K♦4♣4♦ completed board. Ivacson bet 10,400 from under the gun, which left him with 15,000 behind. Vallinas jammed as the bigger stack, sending Ivacson into the blender. He decided on a call.

Attila Ivacson: AxKxAll in
Jon Vallinas: 7♠7♣

Vallinas had a full house and sent Ivacson to the reentry desk; when he returned, he was seated on Kaufmann's table.
