Klishko Eliminates Esquivel on the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John Klishko shipped all in for around 85,000 from under the gun and Mike Esquivel deliberated for a moment before sticking in the last of his 32,000 on his left. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.
Mike Esquivel: A♥6♥
John Klishko: 9♠9♦
The flop came 8♦5♦4♦ and Klishko increased his lead with an added flush draw to his overpair. The turn brought the J♦ to give him a flush and Esquivel was left drawing dead to the 2♥ on the river.
That brings an end to Day 1b with 30 players advancing to Day 2 on Sunday. Day 1c is currently underway with 115 entries in the early going. Late registration will remain open until the start of level nine and PokerNews will be back to cover the bubble of that flight.
