Albert N Shoves With Sevens

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Albert N doubled up and then some with pocket sevens to stay alive in the tournament with 18 left.

Prosper [Removed:250] opened to 10,500 and [Removed:105] called in position. The action fell to Albert N and he went all in for 54,400 total. [Removed:250] thought for a moment and then called. Ravichandran folded.

[Removed:250] was racing with {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} of Albert N. The board ran out {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Albert N won the hand with a set of sevens. He stacked nearly 130,000 and left [Removed:250] with roughly 10 big blinds.

Albert N Triples Up; Rest of Counts From Table 54

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A three-way all-in saw a huge shift in chips across table 54. Nick-Real Seide had both Albert N and Prosper [Removed:250]'s tournament lives on the line as both men were all-in preflop.

Seide: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
[Removed:250]: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Albert N: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} giving Albert N top pair and the monster triple up. [Removed:250] took down the side pot almost the same size as the main pot leaving his stack about the same. Unfortunately Seide had the worst of it taking a huge hit.

Nick-Real Seide Busts in 15th Place; Bubble Time

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Poker can be a cruel game. Fast structures can make it even more so. Nick-Real Seide experienced his fair share in the last few hands. After losing 40% of his stack in a previous had, a few hands later he lost another 75% against Aidan Quin.

With just 29,000 left, Seide spent the last few hands moving all-in preflop. Seide found a double up against Albert N when his {a-}{9-} caught a nine on the river against Albert's {a-}{10-}. A hand later Seide found himself behind with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} against an opponent's {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Seide couldn't find any help and has been elliminated.
