Sebok Sent Packing

Sebok flushed out
Sebok flushed out
With the board reading {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Joe Sebok check-raised all in for his tournament life holding {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

His opponent made the call holding {J-Spades}{10-Spades}, and when Sebok was unable to fill up on the river he was sent to the rail.

More Eliminations

Amnon Filippi and Jonathan Little have both been eliminated, along with Kyle Bowker.

Bowker called a check-raise all in for his tournament life holding {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} against an opponent's {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} on a flop of {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

The turn and river would blank out with the {Q-Diamonds} and {A-Spades} falling to see Bowker take the long walk home.

No Final Table No. 3 for Alaei

Daniel Alaei has been eliminated over the course of two hands. Most of the damage was done when he got all in on a {J-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop with {J-Spades} {9-Spades} versus an opponent with {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. The turn was a safe {4-Hearts} but the river {K-Spades} changed all that.

He then moved the last of his stack in with {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, but was called by a dominating {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} that held to bust him.

Staying Alive

Erik Cajelais has just doubled through Phil Ivey to 10,000. It all went in preflop with his {A-?} {9-?} up against Ivey's {Q-?} {8-?}. The board came {Q-Spades} {7-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs}. After falling behind on the flop, Cajelais caught an ace on the river to stay alive.

Filippi Fumbles

With a substantial amount already in the pot, Michael Hauptman pushed all in for his last 15,600 on a flop reading {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Amnon Filippi made the call and tabled his {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to be in the lead against Hauptman's {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The turn and river fell running kings, with one of them being a spade to see Hauptman double to 43,000 as Filippi slipped to 30,000 in chips.

Give a Little Back

Double trouble
Double trouble
Antonio Esfandiari has given some of his newly acquired chips to Bill Edler. Esfandiari bet 2,200 on the {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} flop, 4,400 on the {A-Spades} turn and all in on the {Q-Clubs} river.

Edler called all the way and all in on the river, showing {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} to take the pot as Esfandiari mucked.

Edler -- 43,000
Esfandiari -- 39,000
