Dattani's Double Dreams End

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Michel Dattani
Michel Dattani

PCA Main Event champion Michel Dattani moved all-in from under the gun for 210,000 and was at risk once Marcello Del Grosso called on the button.

Michel Dattani: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Marcello Del Grosso: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Dattani was behind from the start and the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop only strengthened Del Grosso’s advantage. The {9-Diamonds} turn gave Del Grosso quads, while the {8-Spades} river completed the runout.

Dattani could only shake his head and smile as a second memorable run in The Bahamas came to an end.

Jerome Moreau

Nicolas Betbese raised to 50,000 from early position and the action folded around to Platinum Pass winner Jerome Moreau in the big blind. Moreau made the call to see the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop.

Moreau checked back to Betbese, who followed with a check to the {6-Diamonds} turn. Moreau checked again before calling a bet of 90,000 from Betbese. The {a-Clubs} river brought another check from Moreau and Betbese bet enough chips to put Moreau at risk. It did not take long for Moreau to make the call for his tournament life.

Jerome Moreau: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Nicolas Betbese: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Betbese was bluffing with queen-high, while Moreau correctly called with a pair of eights to earn the full double up.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Glen Craigen

Andrei Boghean raised to 30,000 in middle position and called instantly when Platinum Pass winner Glen Craigen slid his final 115,000 chips into the middle from the big blind.

Glen Craigen: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Andrei Boghean: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Craigen caught a piece of the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, but could not improve further on the {8-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river.

Craigen went around the feature table to shake the hands of his opponents before exiting the stage after an impressive PSPC run.

Kitty Kuo slid in her final 100,000 chips from early position, followed by Tom Parsons shoving in the small blind. The hands were turned up with Kuo at risk.

Kitty Kuo: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Tom Parsons: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Kuo was looking for help but found none on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, before spiking the {4-Diamonds} turn to take the lead.

Parsons then found one of his two outs on the {j-Clubs} river to eliminate Kuo in heartbreaking fashion.
