Steve Wong Busts a Player; Nearly Doubles Up

The player in seat 6 is all in with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} against Steve Wong's {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. The board comes {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Wong's pocket aces hold up to win the pot. The player in seat 6 is eliminated, and with their chip stacks almost even, Wong doubles up to about 45,000 in chips.

Steve Wong looks like the chipleader at this point.

Eli Elezra Eliminated

Eli Elezra has been eliminated from the tournament. He lost the majority of his stack on the following hand:

With the board showing {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts} on the turn, Eli Elezra moved all in and his opponent quickly called. Elezra showed {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} for trip kings, but his opponent showed {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for an full house (nines full of kings) Elezra needed a king or a jack on the river to bust his opponent. The last card was the {A-Diamonds} and Elezra's opponent doubled up to 12,000 in chips.

Joe Sebok's Elimination Hand

Joe Sebok stopped by to share his elimination hand. Here's how it went down:

With about 1,200 in the pot, the flop came K-5-4 with two clubs. Sebok checked, his opponent bet 1,000, Sebok check-raised to 4,000, and his opponent moved all in. Sebok quickly called for his last 3,500 showing {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the gutshot straight draw and the nut flush draw. His opponent had 7-7, so Sebok needed an ace, a deuce, or any club (16 outs) to win the hand.

But the last two cards were blanks, and Sebok was eliminated.
