Hoang Eliminates Sandretto

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Casey Sandretto went all-inf or 31,000 from under the gun before Quyen Hoang made the call out of the small blind to put Sandretto at risk.

Casey Sandretto: K♦Q♥All in
Quyen Hoang: A♠K♣

Sandretto was in trouble against the ace-king of Hoang and was in search of a queen to keep his tournament alive.

The 8♥7♣6♠ flop was of no use to Sandretto, but the 10♣ turn did present four outs to a chop if a nine were to roll off.

That did not happen on the 5♥ river as Sandretto's tournament run came to a conclusion as Hoang dragged in his chips.

Set for Tanimoto

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Neil Rauschhuber was all-in and at risk preflop in a pot that had swelled to over 30,000 in chips as the remaining three players took a flop on a board that read 9♣J♣5♥ when this hand was picked up.

Matthew Betti shoved from the small blind, which led to a fold from Robert Grossglauser. Arthur Tanimoto quickly called to put himself at risk for 29,900 in a showdown against Betti and Rauschhuber.

Neil Rauschhuber: 10♥10♦All in
Arthur Tanimoto: 8♥8♦All in
Matthew Betti: 9♣4♣

Tanimoto led all three horses in the race with a set of eights, but Betti was still in the thick of the race with a flush draw. Meanwhile, Rauschhuber was searching for a ten or running cards to a straight.

The 4♠ turn kept Tanimoto in control.

Tanimoto secured the pot when he upgraded to a full house on the 4♥ river to take down the pot and eliminate Rauschhuber.
