Docherty Eliminated After Losing Stack Blind Versus Blind

Action folded around to Yuet Wong, who raised from the button. David Docherty reraised to 7,500 and Wong went all in for 33,800. Docherty started talking himself through the hand before making the call. The two players flipped their cards, with Wong at risk.

Yuet Wong: A♣K♦
David Docherty: K♣Q♥

The board ran out 4♠9♥10♣3♥2♣. Neither player improved and so Wong held with his ace high to win the pot and leave Docherty with just a few hundred behind.

The following hand, Vikrum Mehta raised to 1,800 from middle position and Docherty placed the rest of his stack over the line. The player in the small blind also called.

The flop came 10♥A♠6♠ and both players in the side pot checked. The turn was the K♥. The small blind checked and Mehta bet 2,000. His opponent folded and Docherty and Mehta flipped their cards.

Docherty had A♦Q♦ for a pair of aces and Mehta had K♣10♦ for two pair. The river came a blank and Mehta won the pot. Docherty was eliminated but has since been seen re-entering the tournament.
