Simuntis Busts Before the Break
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There was some action in the last hand of the level on each table and it brought along one elimination.
Greg Tucker bet 75,000 on the 9♦7♦5♦A♥ turn and Vygandas Simuntis called all-in for less than that with the A♠7♠. His turned two pair were in rough shape with only two outs, as Tucker had flopped a set with the 7♣7♥. The river was the 6♣ and that spelled the end for the Lithuanian.
One table over, Divan Van Wyk bet the A♥K♥6♥ flop for 6,000 and Rudolf Fourie was the only caller. Van Wyk bet another 11,000 on the 3♠ turn for Fourie to call and sigh a "you suck me dry" ahead of the 7♠ river. Van Wyk had 70,000 behind and jammed, Fourie foldded.
