Dexter Mcnally Eliminated in 13th Place ($16,255)

Chad Holloway

David "ODB" Baker raised to 22,000 from the hijack and received calls from Felicia Johnico and Dexter Mcnally in the cutoff and button respectively. When the flop came down {7-Clubs} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} , Baker checked, Johnico bet 80,000 and Mcnally moved all in for 29,000 more. Baker got out of the way, Johnico made the call, and the cards were turned up:

Showdown
Mcnally: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
Johnico: {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

Mcnally's queens were ahead at that moment, but he was looking to dodge a club. He did so on the {4-Hearts} turn, but not on the {8-Clubs} river. Johnico made an ace high flush and had a low to scoop, sending Mcnally out in 13th place.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Antony Lellouche has been on a roller coaster the last ten minutes and now that ride has come to an end as it ran into the deadly dance of Scotty Nguyen and Randy Ohel.

The last hand of Lellouche's tournament saw him, Nguyen and Ohel commit 54,000 preflop as the dealer spread out a {3-Spades} {q-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} flop. Nguyen then led for the pot and Lellouche called all in. Ohel came along for the ride and the dealer readied another card to be dealt on the felt.

Turn: {8-Diamonds}

Ohel shoved all in here and Nguyen called. "Aces up and the nut low," said Ohel as he tabled his {a-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Spades} .

Nguyen held {a-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds} , while Lellouche was in trouble with {j-Clubs} {j-Spades} {a-Spades} {4-Clubs} .

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Lellouche was sent home, while Ohel quartered Nguyen, raking in plenty of new chips.

Randy Ohel	430,000 335,000	335,000

Lellouche Barely Hanging On

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Antony Lellouche raised to 42,000 under the gun, leaving himself just 45,000 behind, and action folded all the way around to David "ODB" Baker in the big blind. He made the call and then checked the {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} flop, prompting Lellouche to bet 14,000.

Baker responded by sliding out a big stack, enough to commit Lellouche if he chose to call, but the Frenchman conserved his stack and folded in frustration.

Big Triple for Ramirez

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Juan Rameriz raised the pot from middle position - which was enough to put him all in. Felicia Johnico then called out of the small blind and so too did Dexter Mcnally out of the big blind.

On the {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} flop, Johnico announced pot and Mcnally said pot immediately after. That amount was enough to put Mcnally all in, with Johnico calling, having Mcnally covered. At this point the three players turned their hands over.

Johnico: {a-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Mcnally: {k-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Ramirez: {a-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Diamonds} on the river would see Johnico and Mcnally split the side pot, while the short-stacked Ramirez managed to make a wheel to scoop up the main pot.

Action folded to Daniel Mcnally in the cutoff and he raised to 28,000. Yuval Bronshtein made the call from the button, Jack Ward came along from the big blind, and it was three-way action to the {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts} flop.

Ward was first to act and took a moment before betting 78,000, which inspired a snap-fold from Mcnally. Bronshtein wasn't so quick to act, even asking for a count of how much Ward had behind, though he did ultimately fold.

"I was ready to play for it all," Ward assured him as he stacked the pot with a smile.

Jack Ward	435,000 125,000	125,000
Yuval Bronshtein	400,000 35,000	35,000

Big Double for Scotty

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Randy Ohel opened up to pot to 27,000 from middle position and Scotty Nguyen then said, "Eighty thousand baby," a few positions to his left. That was too much however, and Nguyen was forced to bet 72,000. Back on Ohel and he would move all in. Nguyen made a quick call and the two players turned their hands over.

Ohel: {a-Spades} {q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {j-Clubs}
Nguyen: {a-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {j-Spades}

The {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} {9-Spades} flop was fairly safe for Ohel and the {a-Hearts} turn gave him a set. The {5-Spades} river would lock up the wheel for Nguyen as Ohel would take a big hit to his stack, While Nguyen doubled his up.

Chris Bell raised to 37,000 from middle position and cleared the field all the way to Yuval Bronshtein, who opted to three-bet to 112,000 from the big blind. Bell thought for a few moments and then repotted, prompting Bronshtein to call off for 206,000 total.

Showdown

Bronshtein
Bell

The {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds} flop kept Bronshtein's aces in the lead, while the {K-Spades} turn ensured there would be no low. Bell needed a five on the river to eliminate Bronshtein, but it was not in the cards as the {7-Spades} peeled off.
