Tricoli Busts Felicetti With Aces

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jeremy Felicetti has fallen in 14th place after running into the pocket aces of Janet Tricoli. Felicetti was at all in and at risk preflop with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} but was way behind Tricoli's {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Felicetti picked up some hope on a {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop but Tricoli was able to fade a {4-Clubs}{10-Spades} run out to send Felicetti to the rail.

Kaplin Takes Out Two More

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Leo Kaplin opened to 7,500 from early position before the player in the cutoff three-bet shoved for 41,400. A short-stacked player in the big blind put his last 15,500 in the middle and Kaplin called putting them both at risk.

Leo Kaplin: {j-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Cutoff: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Kaplin turned a flush on the turn of a {5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board and scooped the pot, sending both of his opponents to the rail.
