McCormick Done In By Tardif

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joel Danforth raised to 32,000 only to have Don McCormick three-bet all in for around 190,000 from the cutoff. Patrick Tardiff was in the big and jammed all in over the top, which prompted Danforth to get out of the way.

McCormick:
Tardif:

The flop gave Tardif top set but also delivered a gutshot to McCormick. He was looking for some lady love but was left wanting as neither the turn nor river was the queen he needed.

Nelson Bows Out in 14th Place

Chad Holloway

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to a short-stacked Eric Nelson in the small blind and he moved all in for approximately 100,000, which WSOPC ring winner Ashley Sleeth called from the big blind.

Nelson:
Sleeth:

Nelson was in need of some help, most readily a queen, but none was to be had as the board ran out .
