Pinson Felts Verdu
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a three-way flop of 3♥K♠4♠, Aaron Pinson led out for 55,000 and Josh Verdu moved all in for around 200,000. The other player quickly got out of the way while Pinson made the call to put him at risk.
Josh Verdu: Q♠J♠
Aaron Pinson: K♣8♣
Pinson was ahead with his pair of kings but still needed to dodge a spade to keep it that way. The turn 9♥ gave Verdu more outs with a gutshot straight draw but the river 8♥ did not do it and he was eliminated as Pinson moved into the chip lead.
