Gonzales Eliminates a Short Stack; Martinez Loses a Coin Flip
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Hand #1: Danny Gonzales pumped it up to 2,600 in early position and a player on the button re-jammed. Gonzales received confirmation of the amount, totaling 8,000, and made the call.
All-In Player: 
Danny Gonzales: 
The flop 
left the all-in player out in front, but Gonzales made a pair on the turn 
.
"Ace," requested the all-in player. "Or jack," he added. Neither came as 
completed the runout and Gonzales took down the pot.
Hand #2: On the very next hand, under the gun raised to 3,000 and Elenna Martinez re-jammed in the hijack for 16,500. Action folded back to her opponent and he called.
Elenna Martinez: 
Under the Gun: 
Martinez needed to hit an ace or jack to have a shot but found herself in bad shape after the flop 
despite doing just that. The turn 
gave her four outs at a better full house, but the river 
left her dry and eliminated her from the tournament.

Under the gun raised it up to 3,200 and Dominic Romero called in the hijack. The flop dropped 
and the under-the-gun player continuation-bet 4,000. Romero threw in a raise to 14,000.
"You don't wanna slow play your king?" asked the player. Romero shook his head no. "No? Really?"
"Okay," the player added after another half a minute, sending his cards to the muck to earn Romero the pot.
