Altinbas No Longer Jacked Up

Garrett Beckman pushed all in for 127,000 from middle position, and Oktay Altinbas made the call from the small blind. Beckman turned over {A-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Altinbas {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

As the players stood up, Altinbas started to become animated. "No ace! C'mon, no ace!" he shouted. Then, "jack, jack." He actually started doing jumping jacks as he called out his requests. Whether he realized he was a visual pun is unclear.

Alas, an ace flopped -- {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. And the turn and river -- {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} -- didn't help Altinbas. He's now down to 11,000, while Beckman has 172,000.

34th Not Bad, Relatively Speaking

After taking that hit versus Matthew Lynn, Andrew Einstein pushed all in with {A-?} {8-?} and was up against Roland Isra's {A-?} {Q-?}. The board brought a couple of aces, but no eight, reducing the mass of Einstein's chips to zero, meaning he had no more energy to continue. Einstein picks up $11,886 for his 34th place finish.

Isra now has 185,000 chips.

Wild de Wolfe

Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe was just involved in three big hands in quick succession, the last of which resulted in the elimination of Michael Schneider in 35th place.

First de Wolfe doubled through Shawn Glines when his pocket nines outraced Glines' {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Glines now has about 400,000.

Then de Wolfe was the one providing a double up to Gary Holm. Holm got it all in preflop with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} against de Wolfe's {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. A queen flopped, and another came on the river as well. Holm is up to 270,000.

Finally, de Wolfe was in the cutoff when he called Michael Schneider's all in from UTG for 54,500. Schneider had {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and de Wolfe {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The board came {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and Schneider hit the rail, netting $11,886.

After all of that, de Wolfe now has 340,000.

Mans Montgomery Eliminated

Mans Montgomery was all in for 60,000 before the flop with {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} against the {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} of Brett Switzer.

The board fails to improve Montgomery and he is eliminated from the tournament in 36th place, for which he earns $11,886.

Logan Trindade Eliminated

Logan Trindade raised from the button and Bahador Ahmadi reraised enough to put Trindade all in. Trindade made the call with {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and was racing for his tournament life against the {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} of Ahmadi.

The board came {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} giving Ahmadi jacks and eights. Logan Trindade is eliminated in 37th place.

Crabtree Caught by Blinds

Gregg Merkow put in a preflop raise, and Ronald Crabtree -- down to just 1,500 chips -- was already all in from the big blind. Merkow showed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Crabtree {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The community cards were dealt: {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Crabtree is out in 38th, and Merkow adds just a few to his stack of 250,000.
