Mehta Eliminated by Tao

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kamlesh Mehta raised to 15,000 and Mark Tao three-bet to 35,000 two seats over. It folded back to Mehta who used a time bank to then push all-in for 110,000 and Tao called after getting an exact count.

"You time bank aces?" Cliton Taliwanth asked but Mehta had far worse than that.

Kamlesh Mehta: K♠Q♠ All in
Mark Tao: K♦K♥

The J♥10♣2♥ flop was a start for Mehta with the straight draw, but he bricked the 10♥ turn and 5♥ river. Soon after, Martin Schamaun departed from one table over.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Soon after getting a shove through, Biru Asefa was involved into the action again. In fact, half of the table got the chips into the middle and everyone jumped on their feet as Asefa, Sami Matar and Oni Zhang were at risk against Tome Dinh.

Sami Matar: A♠3♠ All in
Biru Asefa: 10♠10♦ All in
Obi Zhang: 6♦6♣ All in
Tome Dinh: A♣K♦

The K♠5♠4♦ flop gave Matar a ton of outs with the straight and flush draw, while Dinh had taken the lead with top pair and top kicker. What followed were the A♥ turn and A♦ for Dinh to hit a full house and knock out three opponents in style.
