Powell Over a Million

donpeters

Brian Powell and Niklas Flisberg got all of the money in on the turn. Flisberg held {A-Spades}

and was crushed by Powell's {A-Hearts}

.

The flop only contained one spade when it came {K-Hearts}

. The turn brought a second spade to the board -- {J-Spades}

-- giving Flisberg a flush draw and a straight draw to chop the pot and this is when all of the money went in. The river completed neither of those as the {3-Clubs}

fell.

Flisberg was eliminated and Powell moved up to 1.04 million.

More Eliminations

[user66118]

Coba Cao was all in with {3-Spades}

, racing for his tournament life against the {A-Hearts}

of Chad Awerbuch. The board didn't pair Awerbuch, but it ran out {4-Diamonds}

. With two pair on the board, Cao's underpair was counterfeited, and he was left playing the board. Awerbuch's ace kicker played, good enough to send Cao home.

At the same time, Antoine Dugast was all in with {A-Hearts}

against the {Q-Clubs}

of Joe Cada. The board ran down {7-Clubs}

, and Cada makes the winning pair of queens. Dugast becomes the latest victim of the Main Event, and the casualties are really starting to pile up here on Day 5.

Bartello Busted

[user76023]

Donald Crabtree pushed all in from the button and Vince Bartello shoved behind out of the blinds, eager to get his money in as he was holding {K-Spades}

.

Crabtree held {A-Diamonds}

but caught the 'Ace from space' as the board came {A-Clubs}

. The dealer counted the chips down and Crabtree had 163,000 exactly, then counting Bartello's stack it was found that he too had 163,000 and was hence eliminated.
