William Reynolds moved all in from the cutoff and found someone making the call for their tournament life from the big blind.
Reynolds:
Opponent:
The flop fell to put Reynolds in the lead, and after the meaningless landed on the turn, things were looking good for Reynolds.
"Fade the two-outer" he stated as the dealer burnt the last card, but unfortunately - like it was meant to be - the landed on the river to cripple Reynolds to just 2,000.
The following hand Reynolds would shove blind and wake up with an all in and a call behind him from Daniel Duong and Mostafa Jamasbi respectively.
Reynolds: (X)
Duong:
Jamasbi:
The board ran out to see Reynolds sent to the rail, Duong more than double to 85,000 and Jamasbi slip to 90,000 in chips.
Anthony Nardi started the day with only 6,000. To top it off, he had to put in 1,000 for the ante and 4,000 in the small blind, leaving himself with a mere 1,000.
Nardi ended up going all in for that 1,000 in the small blind. Since Andy Black had him covered with the mandatory big blind, he called by default.
Black:
Nardi:
The board ran out giving Nardi the straight and the 6,000 pot. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough ammunition and he was busted a few hands later.
