Valdes and Voogd Both Hit The Rail

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Cat "catrific" Valdes got her last 45,000 in from the cutoff, and was looked up by a player on the button.

Valdes: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Valdes was left drawing super thin after the {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop gave her opponent a pair of kings and a flush draw. The {4-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river sealed Valdes' elimination. At the same time, Kayla "WinoPoker" Voogd was seen exiting the tournament area, as well.

Martin Gets Put to the Test

A player raised to 4,000 from the small blind, and Twitch streamer and Big Brother Canada champ Kevin Martin called in the big blind.

The {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop saw the small blind check, and Martin bet 6,500. His opponent check-raised to 13,000 (after initially attempting to make it 12,500), and Martin called.

The {5-Clubs} fell on the turn, and the small blind bet 20,000. Martin called.

On the {9-Hearts} river, the small blind jammed for Martin's last 43,500, and Martin folded after a moment's thought.

Mark Mazza raised to 3,500 from UTG, and the cutoff three-bet to 12,000. Mazza responded with a four-bet shove for 46,000 and his opponent called.

Mazza: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Mazza's tens held up on a {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board. "Nice hand," Mazza's opponent said, to which Mazza responded with a quick, "Thank ya!"

Horter Knocks Out a Shorty

Chris Horter

A short-stacked player got his stack of 10,500 all in preflop and was in a bad spot against Chris Horter (AKA Mr. Jamie Kerstetter).

Horter: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Horter was way out in front and stayed there on the {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. The {a-Clubs} turn paired Horter but it also gave his opponent a club flush draw. Fortunately for Horter, the {10-Hearts} river was a brick and he scored the knock out.

Liu Runs Into Rockets

Robert Valdez
Robert Valdez

Sasha Liu checked a {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} flop from the hijack, and Robert Valdez bet 9,000 into a pot of 20,000 in the cutoff. Liu tanked for a bit before check-raising all in for 68,000, and Valdez didn't take long to flick a chip in the pot to call.

Liu: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Valdez: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Liu's pair of queens were well behind the aces of Valdez, and although she picked up an open-ender on the {10-Spades} turn, Valdez added a gutshot and nut flush draw of his own, negating some of those outs. The {4-Clubs} hit the river, and Valdez and his rockets held for a big pot and a knockout.
