Rafe Furst Crippled to 7,500 by Joe Pelton

Joe Pelton raises under the gun to 21,000, and Rafe Furst calls from the button. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Pelton bets 25,000, and Furst calls. The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, Pelton checks, Furst moves all in, and Pelton calls with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Furst shows {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}, and he needs a jack (for a set) or a club (for a flush) to survive.

The river card is the {9-Spades}, and Pelton wins the pot with his pocket kings. Rafe Furst is crippled down to just 7,500 in chips.

Martin Perez Eliminated in 70th Place by Rafe Furst

The button raises to 18,000, Martin Perez calls all in from the small blind, Rafe Furst raises from the big blind to 38,000, and the button folds. Perez shows {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and he'll need to improve to survive Furst's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The board comes {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Rafe Furst turns a set of sevens to win the pot, increasing his stack to about 100,000.

Andreas Hagen Doubles Through Philip Russo

Andreas Hagen moves all in preflop with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but he'll need to improve to survive against Philip Russo's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The flop comes {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and Hagen is sitting pretty with middle pair, a flush draw, and plenty of outs. The turn card is the {6-Diamonds}, and Hagen takes the lead with a diamond flush. Russo has a higher diamond, so he has outs to a higher flush. But the last card pairs the board with the {3-Hearts}, and Hagen wins the pot to double up to about 68,000 in chips. Russo drops down to about 60,000.

As a side note, the player in seat 9 informs everyone that he folded pocket threes preflop to the all-in -- he would have made quads.
