Koon Gone

We don't know where the money got in, but what we do know is on a {8-}{4-}{7-}{A-}{Q-} board Koon was in for all of his chips and held {J-}{8-}, while his opponent had {K-}{Q-}. With the queen on the river Koon's tournament life was over.

Mortensen Eliminated

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen has been eliminated after his {A-}{4-} was not able to hold against his opponent's {2-}{k-}. Mortensen who held a large stack early, did most of the work to clear the way to three handed play. As we got later into the night Mortensen's stack whittled away.

Cohen Comeback Helps Him Advance

Vanessa Peng had a big advantage heading into her heads-up battle with Jon Cohen but could finish of the job. Cohen dug in and ran well when it mattered. It was hard for him to run much better on the final hand.

Cohen opened to 9,000 and faced a Peng three-bet to 19,000. He shipped all-in and Peng called all-in for 125,000.

Peng: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Cohen: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} to make Cohen quads!
