Amit Makhija

Preflop Amit Makhija made a raise to 9,000. One to his left Benjamin Dobson made a reraise to 21,000. Action folded back around to Makhija who moved all in. Dobson made a snap call and it was off to the races.

Makhija: {7-}{7-}
Dobson: {A-}{Q-}

The board was a swift executioner for Makhija as it rolled out {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, giving Dobson two pair and eliminating Makhija from the tournament in 48th place.

Kassela Busts Before Dinner Break

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Frank Kassela
Frank Kassela

It was a cold day for Frank Kassela who was put in tough spots all afternoon. We heard him talking about how at one point he ran {A-}{K-} into {A-}{A-}.

We do know that he is gone right now. Chris Hunichen was kind enough to let us know that Kassela shoved his last five big blinds all in with {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and he was called by another player who had {K-}{K-}. Kassela couldn't catch up and he was sent to the payout desk to collect his payday.

Curnow Busts One

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A player in middle position raised to 11,500. Grant Curnow, 2nd in chips coming into today, reraised from the big blind by throwing in a large stack of orange. We didn't get an exact count because the middle position player quickly went all in followed by the instacall of Curnow.

Curnow: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Middle Position: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Curnow is building his stack back up.

Kubat Whacks Keating

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Patrick Kubat can't be stopped. We just saw him take a monster pot off former chip leader Alan Keating.

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} Kubat made a bet of 50,000. Keating took a few seconds, then made the call.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}. This time Kubat made a bet of 100,000. Keating counted out the chips for the call and almost made it, but was missing 25,000. He counted out the rest of the call and made it.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and this time Kubat moved all in with a covering stack. Keating made a quick fold and Kubat scooped up a monster pot.
