Ace vs. Kings

Allen Narbonne, who has been nursing a short stack for quite some time, was all in with {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} against the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Jay Hong.

Narbonne was in great shape to double up, especially when the flop came {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. That all changed when the turn was the {K-Clubs}. Suddenly Narbonne needed an ace or the case four to stay alive. The dealer burned and revealed the {K-Diamonds} on the river, which gave Hong quad kings!

Narbonne couldn't seem to believe it and quickly made his exit from the tournament area.

"We're Racing"

Harry Weinberg moved all in from middle position for 176,000. Action folded to the button who made the call. "We're racing," Weinberg said after the button showed {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Weinberg revealed {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Things looked bleak for Weinberg when the flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, giving his opponent a pair of queens. The {5-Hearts} on the turn was no help and neither was the {5-Spades} on the river. Weinberg was eliminated from the tournament late on Day 2.

A "Classy" Elimination

In a heads-up pot with the board reading {J-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, Donnacha Odea moved all in for about 150,000. Carlos Pianelli immediately called time on himself and after about five seconds, made the call with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, the nuts with a club redraw.

"Wow, classy of you," said Odea.

"Yesterday, I called when I thought I had a straight, but I didn't. So now I need to be sure," responded Pianelli

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Odea is out.

Blum Busts Kings

Fred Berger moved all in from the button for a little less than 100,000. Samuel Blum called from the big blind and turned over {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Berger was ahead with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and looked good to double up when the flop came {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The tables were turned when the {A-Clubs} hit the turn. Suddenly Berger was in big trouble and needed to hit one of the remaining two kings.

The river was the {A-Spades}, which eliminated Berger from the tournament. Blum, on the other hand, is sitting with about 200,000 in chips.
