Annie Duke gets two opponents all in with A A, on a flop. Her opponent in the 8 seat shows 10 10 Q K, and David Benyamine shows King high. The turn and river bring a , and Annie wins a good sized pot - her Aces holding up. The one player is eliminated, and Benyamine involes his red chip, and gets himself another 10k stack. Annie is up to about 67,000 with the win.
Just before the break Vladimir flopped two pair and a straight draw against Phil Ivey, but the turn card put a pair of Jacks on the board, counterfeiting Vladimir's pairs and enabling Phil to win with Kings and Jacks. Phil now has 42000.
Marcel Luske is free to go after he lost his remaining stack in the following manner. Marcel made it 1,200 to go pre flop. Antonio Salorio called, and the flop came 5 7 7. Marcel led out for 3,000, and Antonio pushes an oversized stack in, and announces a pot sized raise. The dealer cautions 'sir, its pot limit', but Luske says 'its ok', and puts the rest of his chips in. Marcel shows A A Q J, but his opponent shows 10 7 J Q, and has trip sevens. The turn and river blank out, and Marcel is out.
....in this event. Brad Berman lost all his chips in this event, but he has sauntered over to Day two of the $1,500 No Limit event, where he has a nice stack waiting for him.
Josh Arieh was eliminated by Greg Raymer when Arieh's 2-2-8-7 couldn't outrun the Q-7-X-X of Raymer. Raymer made trip queens on the river and not only eliminated his fellow 2004 Main Event Finalist but had another player in the hand "rebuying" as well.
