The Agony of Defeat

Shamus

David Ritter, down to just 20,000, pushed all in with {A-Clubs}

and was called by Markus Feurle who had him well covered. Feurle turned over {Q-Clubs}

.

The flop came {A-Hearts}

. "That's a good flop, you're in good shape," said Jason Young, winner of Event No. 17, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.

It was a good flop for Ritter. But things got worse fast when the {3-Clubs}

came on the turn, then the {Q-Spades}

on the river.

A distraught Ritter stood to the side of the table for a couple of minutes with his face in his hands before leaving. "Look what you did to that guy," said Young to Feurle. "He's so sad!"

Ritter is out, and Feurle is up to 300,000.

Naimark's a Survivor

[user75032]

Action moved over to Orange #1, where, from late position, David Naimark came over the top of a preflop raise to 15,000 for all 56,000 of his chips. Doron Malinasky woke up with {A-Spades}

in the small blind and reraised all in. When everyone folded, Malinasky (like so many other players today) found himself in a race against Naimark's {Q-Diamonds}

. A board of {5-Spades}

failed to improve Malinasky's Big Slick and allowed Naimark to double up to 115,000.

Malinasky slipped to 173,000 on the hand.

Chase Madden Eliminated

[user37786]

After a

flop and with about 60,000 already in the pot William Burdick bet 35,000 and Chase Madden moved all in for 140,000. Two other players folded and Burdick made the call. His {A-Hearts}

had Madden's {K-Diamonds}

beat and they held up as the {4-Hearts}

fell on the turn and the {7-Clubs}

on the river.

Robert Mizrachi Eliminated

[user38368]

Robert Mizrachi and William Soffin are all in on a flop of {4-Clubs}

.

Mizrachi: {K-Spades}

Soffin:

The turn and river are {7-Hearts}

. The rivered queen busts out Robert, and though he hasn't had quite the same year in 2008 as he had in 2007, he has to be at least somewhat pleased with his five WSOP cashes this year.
