Mikela Shkurta Eliminated in 16th Place ($12,070)

Brandon Bloom

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 80,000 under the gun, Mikela Shkurta moved all in for 665,000 in the hijack, and Schulman called.

Mikela Shkurta: A♠10♠
Nick Schulman: A♦K♦

The 7♣5♠5♦ flop brought chop possibilities while Shurta picked up a backdoor flush draw, but the K♣ turn left her drawing dead, and the meaningless J♦ river eliminated her in 16th place for $12,070.

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Je Wook Oh raised to 370,000, leaving himself a single 5,000 denomination chip behind. Action folded to Jonathan Borenstein who announced a call from the big blind before turning his cards up having not noticed the last 5,000 chip that Oh had back.

The flop came 7♥10♥4♠ and with Borenstein's hand exposed, both players checked through to the 3♥ turn card.

Oh decided that it was time to put the last of his money in and tossed his last chip into the middle, getting a quick check-call from Borenstein to officially put Oh at risk with one card to come.

Je Wook Oh: A♣J♣
Jonathan Borenstein: K♦Q♠

A double looked promising for Oh but when the K♠ jumped out on the river, Oh was left with the second best hand and an exit from the tournament in 15th place for $13,875.

Betito Gets Two Streets

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chris Land

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Liran Betito raised to 100,000 from middle position and found one caller in Jonathan Borenstein on the button before seeing the flop come 9♣9♥J♠.

Betito checked over to Borenstein who fired out a bet of 100,000. Betito made the called and saw the turn bring the 9♦.

Both players checked through to see the 8♠ land on the river.

Betito paused before reaching for chips and making it 350,000 to go. Borenstein didn't waste too much time in making the call to see Betito turn up the A♦J♥, which was good enough to get a muck out of Borenstein and collect the pot.
