Michael Andrews Eliminated

In a prior hand Michael Andrews had been crippled down to only the size of the ante. He was then all in for the size of the ante. Drew Hart made it 10,000, trying to isolate Andrews, but Devin Jarreau made the call.

On a flop of {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} Jarreau went all in. Hart insta-called and showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Jarreau was on a flush draw with {10-Spades}{9-Spades}. Andrews had the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and the river fell the {6-Spades}. After making his flush Jarreau yelled, "Yes! I felt it!"

After the hand Hart was crippled to around 10,000.

Lizka Run Over by a Boat

Chuck Kelley raises from early position and gets a calls from Daryll Fish in middle position before Eli Lizka calls all in. Fatolla Shahen also calls from the blinds.

The flop comes {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Shahen checks to Kelley. Kelley bets out 8,000 and Fish quickly folds behind. Lizka stands up and awaits his fate as he watches Shahen make the call.

The turn is the {Q-Hearts} and Shahen checks again over to Kelley. This time Kelley bets 15,000. Shahen thinks for a minute before raising the minimum to 30,000. It's another 15,000 to Kelley and he thinks for a minute before folding.

Shahen turns the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a monster full house and Lizka is disgusted as he turns over the {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} and is drawing dead.

Lizka is eliminated while Shahen skyrockets his stack to 119,000.

Jatho Doubles Through Lenaghan

Ed Jatho
Ed Jatho
Ed Jatho has just increased his chances of fulfilling his final table prophecy by doubling up through Ryan Lenaghan. On a board showing {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Lenaghan led out with a continuation bet and Jatho made the call.

The {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn and both players knuckled the table, opting to see a free river, which was the {3-Clubs}. Lenaghan checked once more, passing the action to Jatho who announced, "I'm all in."

The dealer counted down Jatho's remaining stack, which amounted to 23,100, and Lenaghan dove into the tank. When he emerged, Lenaghan made the call and Jatho tabled a pocket pair of sixes.

"You're good," said Lenaghan as he tossed his cards into the muck, left with just ~13,000 in chips.

After the hand, Matt Stout and others at the table were shaking their heads in apparent disbelief.
