HCL Owner Ryan Feldman Bubbles Triton Million

Level 19 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a flop of A♥Q♣J♣, Ryan Feldman was all in for 1,325,000 in the big blind against Alejandro Lococo in early position.

Ryan Feldman: 10♣7♣ All in
Alejandro Lococo: K♣Q♦

Feldman had plenty of equity with a combo draw and picked up even more outs on the 8♠ turn. Unfortunately for the Hustler Casino Live co-founder, the 5♠ river marked his elimination on the stone bubble of the biggest tournament of his career.

It turns out Feldman didn't realize he was on the stone bubble after the double elimination at another table.

Martirosian then checked on the 9♣ river and Dvoress bet to put him all in. Martirosian called off with 2,200,000.

Dvoress showed J♠J♦ for a set of jacks to crush the A♠10♦ of Petrangelo and the 10♥9♥ of Martirosian

Level 19 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Fedor Holz opened the action with a raise to 250,000 from middle position, which was called by the big blind Aleksejs Ponakovs.

After the flop came K♠Q♠2♣ Ponakovs check-raised the bet of 175,000 from Holz to 450,000. Holz made the call to see a turn.

The turn was 9♣ and Ponakovs check-called a bet of 575,000 from Holz.

After the 9♦ on the river, Ponakovs checked to Holz, who bet 1,200,000, leaving just 25,000 chips behind. Ponakovs made the call. Holz turned over K♣Q♥ for two pair, kings and queens, but Ponakovs tabled J♦10♥ for a turned straight to leave Holz with crumbs.

A few hands later Holz was officially eliminated.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

David Einhorn raised all in for 1,800,000 from under the gun. It then folded to Kayhan Mokri in the small blind who called for his stack of 1,100,000. Once the big blinds folded, it was the two players heads up, with Mokri at risk.

Kayhan Mokri: 8♠8♦ All in
David Einhorn: J♥J♣

Mokri was up against the bigger pocket pair of Einhorn, and once the board ran out 2♣6♥3♦7♥4♦ the pocket jacks of Einhorn were still best, knocking out Mokri.

Elton Tsang: K♥Q♦ All in
Michael Moncek: K♣J♣

"One time! Domination!" Tsang yelled as he saw he had Moncek pipped. But the flop landed 5♦4♣J♥ to give Moncek a big lead and the board finished out 9♠3♦ to mark Tsang's unfortunate elimination ahead of the three table redraw.
