Massey Eliminated in Big Three-Way Confrontation

Chad Holloway

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

John Vitt opened for 6,500 from the hijack and Tom Heine three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Aaron Massey then four-bet jammed for 29,300 from the big blind, Vitt five-bet all in over the top for 86,100, and Heine hit the tank before spiking in a call.

Vitt:
Heine:
Massey:

"That's a problem," Heine said upon seeing he and Massey shared the same hand. Indeed it was, and neither player got lucky as the board ran out to give Vitt a full house.

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We missed the elimination of Jose Serratos, but learned after the fact that he got his stack all in on an eight-high flop holding pocket nines. Unfortunately for him, Mike Hassab held aces, and that was the end of that.

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A short-stacked Gary Germann shoved all in under the gun for his last 24,100 and Mike Hassab called from middle position. The rest of the players folded, and the cards were turned on their backs.

Hassab:
Germann:

Germann was ahead and looking to hold, which he did on the flop. The turn was no danger, and neither was the river. Germann improved to a set and shipped the double.
