Elezra and Lunkin Gone As Brunson Collects

[user67765]

Elezra and his hat are eliminated

Todd Brunson opened with a raise from middle position with Eli Elezra and Michiel Brummelhuis making the call before Vitaly Lunkin popped it up another bet from the big blind. Brunson and Elezra called but Brummelhuis thought better of it and folded.

The flop came down {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

and Lunkin led out with a bet with both opponents calling. On the turn the {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

fell and again Lunkin fired a bet with Brunson calling, and Elezra calling for the last of his chips.

The river brought the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and Lunkin check-called to Brunson who got in a value bet with his {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

for a straight as his opponents mucked.

Elezra was felted and Lunkin was crippled and eliminated from the tournament a few moments later.
