Recent Eliminations

The pace of bustouts hasn't slowed at all here in the Amazon Room. Two more players were recently eliminated, each time getting all their chips in before the flop.

First, Israel Hodara raised to 20,000 preflop and found one caller before Tom Cope reraised to 60,000. Hodara made it all of his chips to go, a total of 91,000. Only Cope made the call, and it was an easy one with pocket kings. He was well ahead of Hodara's pocket sevens. The cowboys held up on a board of {A-Spades}

to knock Hodara out of the tournament and increase Cope's stack to 385,000.

Shortly thereafter, on Blue #33, Mark Velloney and Diren Yildiz got it all in preflop. Yildiz held a slight edge with {4-Clubs}
