Bad Timing For Gelman

Phil Ivey opened with a raise to 55,000 from middle position, and James Akenhead re-raised to 162,000 next door. In the big blind, Herbie Gelman made another raise, moving all in for a total of 490,000. Ivey ducked out quickly, but Akenhead made the call with the covering stack, putting Gelman at risk.

Showdown
Akenhead: {K-Hearts}

Gelman:

The flop was a disaster for Gelman as the case king peeled off to give Akenhead the hammerlock with top set. In the end, the board ran down {K-Diamonds}

. The ace on the river was too little, too late for Gelman, and he has been eliminated.

Akenhead has climbed to 1,600,000.
