Lock Busts in Cruel Fashion

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Luke Tanner
Luke Tanner

On the three-way flop of {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Andrew Lock made it 3,000 to go out of the small blind and he was called by Luke Tanner in the big blind and Salvatore Lacisano in the cutoff. The {3-Hearts} turn saw Lock jam for around 13,000 and Tanner came along, while Lucisano folded the {q-Diamonds} face up.

Andrew Lock: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Luke Tanner: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs} river gave Tanner a full house and Lock could not believe his misfortune. "How bad do I run?" he shrugged and headed out of the tournament area.

Amiri Doubles; Senic Busts Maitanis

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Andrej Senic
Andrej Senic

On the {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Harris Maitanis check-raised all in for around 3,500 and Andrej Senic made the call with the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair. Maitanis only had {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flush draw and despite picking up more outs on the {5-Hearts} turn, he would brick as the {6-Hearts} fell on the river.

Ehsan Amiri was more fortunate. The $5k Challenge finalist was all in preflop for 7,900 with {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} versus {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and got there on a board of {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Alan Casas

The board read {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades} and Nav Kamal bet 6,000 from under the gun in a pot of around 11,000. Alan Casas responded with a raise in the hijack to put Kamal all-in for his last 10,000 or so. Kamal tanked for a while and then flicked in his last chips for the call. Casas tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the flopped full house. Kamal nodded and showed he held the {a-Clubs} for trip aces and then made his way out of the tournament area.

On a {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, Jarod Cunningham check-shoved for fewer than 5,000 and Jeffery Tran, who had bet 1,000, made the call.

Jarod Cunningham: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
