Gates Eliminates the Legendary Dao Bac

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A short-stacked Dao Bac moved all in for his last 9,300 under the gun and cleared the field to Garry Gates in the small blind. Gates, who finished 173rd in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event for $47,107, made the call and the big blind got out of the way.

Gates:
Bac:

Bac, who won a bracelet in the 2007 WSOP Event #51 $1,000 S.H.O.E. for $157,975, was in trouble and looking for a little bit of luck. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Gates was a 66.25% favorite in the hand, which meant Bac would win 28.27% of the time with a 5.48% chance of a chop. The flop was disastrous for Bac as Gates flopped trips and became the overwhelming 98.28% favorite. The turn flatlined Bac's chances of survival, and after the was run out on the river, he was sent to the rail.

"You know who that was?" Gates asked aloud. "The legendary Dao Bac. He won a bracelet. He's a S.H.O.E. legend."

Lykov Eliminated by Males; Nicholson Knocked Down

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We didn't see the hand happen, but we saw that Russia's Maxim Lykov was gone and World Series of Poker Circuit regular David Nicholson was kind enough to tell us about it.

According to him, Peter Males moved all in for 21,000 holding and Nicholson moved all in over the top for 55,000 with . Lykov then called off with and the board ran out . Males, who had the worst hand going in, came from behind to take down the sizable pot while Lykov was sent to the rail.

Op de Woerd Sticks Around

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ali Eslami opened for 3,200 from the hijack only to have PokerNews' own Frank Op de Woerd three-bet all in for right around 15,000. Joe Elpayaa then moved all in over the top from the small blind and Eslami folded.

Elpayaa:
Op de Woerd:

"Nice hand, huh?" Op de Woerd commented upon seeing he shared the same cards as Elpayaa. That said, there was still the chance that one of them could four flush, something Marc-Andre Ladocuer learned all to well in last year's Main Event.

Fortunately for Op de Woerd, he wouldn't experience the same brutal beat and ended up chopping with Elpayaa after the board ran out .
