An Elimination Just Before the Break

Chad Holloway

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

In the last hand before the break, a big hand was brewing over at the feature table.

On a flop of , Weiyi Mo had checked from the small blind and chip leader Jerry Calvaneso bet 8,000. Mo responded by moving all in for 64,600 more, and Calvaneso thought long and hard before making the call.

Mo:
Calvaneso:

Calvaneso had flopped top pair with a gutshot straight draw, which was behind the two pair of Mo. Some players from the other tables began to gather during the break, and they watched as the turn brought Mo one step closer to a double.

Unfortunately for her, the then spiked on the river to give Calvaneso a straight. The railbirds erupted in disbelief that Calvaneso, who has been running hot all tournament, continued his run good.

"That Was a Slow Roll"

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

John Aga limped under the gun and a short-stacked Travell Thomas shoved all in from the cutoff for 26,000. The rest of the players folded and Aga thought for about 30 seconds before making the call.

Aga:
Thomas:

"That was a slow roll," the talkative Thomas said, "Ace of clubs."

Thomas asked but was not answered on the flop. "Ace of clubs," he tried again as he got out of his chair. The dealer did not oblige and put out the instead.

Thomas was one card away from elimination, which is when his prays were answered... the spiked on the river! The table couldn't believe while a smiling Thomas sat back down.

Gauchat Mauled by De Wolfe

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Bob De Wolfe limped under the gun and the next player to act, Kyle Gauchat, three-bet to 13,500. Action folded back to De Wolfe, who called, and it was heads-up action to the flop. De Wolfe led for 30,000 and then called when Gauchat shoved his remaining stack.

Gauchat:
De Wolfe:

Gauchat had the best of it preflop, but De Wolfe found a jack on the flop to take a commanding lead. The turn left Gauchat in need of the case ten to stay alive, but that didn't come as the blanked on the river.

Gauchat fell in 28th place, which means the remaining players are now redrawing down to the final three tables.

Bad Beat Sends Foster to the Rail

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After Bob De Wolfe limped from middle position and Adam Foster raised to 13,000 from the small blind, Richard Burton shoved all in from the big for 52,000. De Wolfe folded and Foster, who had about the same amount in chips, snap-called.

Foster:
Burton:

Foster had the goods, and just as Burton was about to get up, the flop came down to give him a major flush sweat. Much to the dismay of Foster, that flush came in when the dealer burned and turned the . The meaningless was run out on the river and an excited Burton was pushed the pot.

Foster was left with just 2,000 after the hand, which went in the very next hand. Foster was unable to win that hand, which means his Main Event came to an end shy of the money in 27th place.
