Cela-Nunez: {J-Clubs}

Taylor:

The board favored the brave when it fell {K-Clubs}

to pair up Taylor and end the tournament for a very disappointed Cela-Nunez.

The man who has brought so much entertainment to the Main Event over several years, Hevad Khan, has just been eliminated within sight of the money.

After a preflop raising war, Khan and his opponent Norman Gautron found their chips in the middle before the flop.

Khan: {A-Clubs}

Gautron:

The board ran out {8-Spades}

and Gautron takes down the monster pot to 520,000 to leave Khan with just 9,000 in chips.

"That's poker..." sighed Khan.

A few moments later Khan was all in with {A-Spades}

against the {A-Clubs}

of Brendan Taylor with the board running out {A-Diamonds}

.

Khan hits the rail just short of the cash.

ElkY Terrorizing Table 28

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With the money bubble approaching, it should come as no surprise that Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier has opened up his game and his aggression exponentially. Grospellier's stack currently stands at about 1.6 million. With blinds at 2,000 and 4,000, the next five stacks in order around the table from Grospellier have 190,000, 240,000, 140,000, 255,000 and 185,000. Each of those stacks is comfortable enough not to feel a ton of pressure from the blinds, but not so deep as to be able to tolerate losing a big pot on the bubble. Those conditions are ripe for ElkY to chip up, 6,000 in blinds at a time.

Kings Back to Back For Kennedy

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ahmad Faour raised from early position and Billy Kopp reraised to 35,000 from middle position. Allen Kennedy then came over the top from the button, all in for 124,000. Both Faour and and Kopp got out of the way and Kennedy showed {K-Clubs}

.

On the very next hand, Matthew Lubawski raised to 16,000 and Kennedy reraised to 50,000. Lubawski gave up the hand and Kennedy showed pocket kings again.

Kennedy chips up and is now at 212,000.
