Docherty Eliminated After Losing Stack Blind Versus Blind

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
David Docherty
David Docherty

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: AK
David Docherty: KQ

The board ran out 491032. 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 10A6 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 AQ for a pair of aces and Mehta had K10 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.

Johnston Picks Off Slater's River Bluff

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Liam Johnston
Liam Johnston

Jacob Mulhern raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Nathan Slater made the call. Liam Johnston then reraised to 8,500, Mulhern folded and Slater called.

The flop came JAQ and both players checked. The turn was the 8 and Slater bet 5,200, which Johnston called.

The river fell the 5 and Slater bet big for 25,000, which represented an all in for his opponent. Johnston went into the tank and looked visibly anguished by the decision.

"This is probably terrible," said Johnston before eventually making the call.

Slater showed 77 for pocket sevens that he'd turned into a bluff. Johnston showed Q10 for a pair of queens and scooped a pot that doubled him up.
