Tragic Ending for Hamlet

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kai Nicholls

Brandon Hamlet opened from middle position and Kai Nicholls called on the button before Sean Winter three-bet to 70,000 in the small blind.

Hamlet then four-bet all in for around 180,000 and Nicholls snap-called to send Winter deep into the tank. After using two time banks, Winter folded what he later said was pocket jacks.

Brandon Hamlet: A♥A♦ All in
Kai Nicholls: Q♠Q♦

Hamlet was out of his seat as the flop landed 4♦Q♥4♥ to give his opponent a full house, and he couldn't hit an ace as the board finished out 8♦2♣ to bring an end to Hamlet's run so tragic that William Shakespeare couldn't conceive of it.

Zavorotnijs Hangs Onto Half a Big Blind

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs raised to 40,000 with just 4,000 behind and Sean Winter called in the big blind.

Winter checked on the flop of 2♦J♦5♠ and Zavorotnijs checked back to bring laughs from the table.

The same action took place on the 4♥ turn and Winter then min-bet on the 10♥ river to bring a fold from Zavorotnijs, who was left with less than one big blind and was eliminated shortly after.

Shannon Shorr was all in for around 20,000 in late position against the bigger-stacked Joseph Beasy in early position.

Shannon Shorr: 10♠9♠ All in
Joseph Beasy: 6♥6♦

Shorr took the lead on the flop of 8♦10♦K♦, but the board finished out 4♥J♦ to give Beasy a flush as the longtime poker pro was sent to the rail.

Elsewhere, Justin Young was eliminated.
