Elias Shoves River On Trickett

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, Sam Trickett checked, and then Darren Elias bet 18,000. The third player in the hand folded, and then Trickett made the call to see the {3-Clubs} added on the turn. Trickett led with a bet of 18,000, and Elias called.

On the river, the dealer put out the {A-Clubs}. Trickett led again, this time for 42,000, but he was met with a reraise all in from Elias. Trickett had 183,500 behind and went deep into the tank. Eventually, he gave it up, and Elias was awarded the pot to move to 600,000 in chips.

Four-Betting at Table 7

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Table 7 is a tough table at the corner of the tournament area with Bryn Kenney, Jonathan Little, Garrett Greer, and Daniel Negreanu among the players battling it out for each others chips. On back-to-back hands we saw four-bet pots with the aggressor taking it down each time.

First, it was Govert Metaal opening things for a raise to 10,000 and four-betting to 49,000 after Jimmy Zhou three-bet to 25,500. Zhou folded to give Metaal the pot.

The very next hand saw Greer open for 10,000, Little three-bet to 22,000, and Zvi Stern four-bet to 45,000. Greer folded but Little made the call. The flop came {8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Little would check-fold to Stern's bet of 65,000.

A Round With The Table of Death

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

It started with the elimination of Jason Mercier, and got better… PokerStars Blog follows all the action from the table featuring Mercier, Scott Seiver, Jonathan Karamalikis, Adrian Mateos Diaz, Shaun Deeb and Davidi Kitai. And its boss: Vicente Delgado.

Shaun Deeb Eliminated

Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Shaun Deeb got the last of his chips in with [9sh] and was up against Jonathan Karamalikis and his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to move the Australian into the lead and the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Diamonds} on the river would not change that thus eliminating Deeb from the tournament.

Tepper Ships

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Ilkin Amirov raised to 12,000 from the cutoff only to have Darren Elias make it 35,000 to go from the button. Robert Tepper was in the small blind and he announced a four-bet all in for 176,000. Action folded back to Amirov who folded his hand as well.

Elias went into the tank for the better part of three minutes while pondering his action. In the end, he opted to fold and Tepper's shove took it down.

Mateos Eliminated by Metaal

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

Adrian Mateos moved all in for 63,500 from the hijack and it folded over to Govert Metaal who called from the small blind.

Mateos: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Metaal: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}, keeping Mateos' ace-king high in the lead. That all changed in a flash, however, as the {Q-Clubs} drilled the turn to give Metaal the lead with a pair of queens. The {7-Spades} completed the board and Mateos was eliminated from play.
