Pollak Out

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Volpe raised to 13,000 in the cutoff, Benjamin Pollak called in position, and the flop fell {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Volpe checked, Pollak fired out 16,000, Volpe check-raised to 36,000, and Pollak moved all in for 116,000. Volpe quickly called.

Volpe: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Pollak: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs} on the turn gave Pollak eight outs to chop to go along with his two outs to win, but the {a-Clubs} on the river missed him completely. The Frenchman was eliminated in 21st place, earning $22,483, while Volpe is up to 287,000 chips.

Ashton Griffin raised to 15,000 on the button, Layne Flack defended his big blind, and the flop fell {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Flack check-called a bet of 22,000, then check-called another 45,000 on the turn ({j-Hearts}).

The river was the {7-Spades}, Flack check-called one last bet worth 95,000, and "Back-to-Back" Flack showed {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for tens and sevens.

Griffin mucked, dipping to 411,000 chips, and Flack climbed up to 510,000.

Danzer Busts Greenwood

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

George Danzer opened the cutoff and Sam Greenwood shoved from the big blind for 97,000 total. "Ok, I'm gonna call" said Danzer, apparently not super happy with his hand and the situation.

Danzer showed {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, which was the best hand against Greenwood's {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Both flopped a pair on {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and the {4-Spades} on the turn and {3-Diamonds} on the river were both blanks.

Sam Greenwood exited in 23rd place, which netted him $22,483.

No More Ladies

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Brigette Lau - Eliminated
Brigette Lau - Eliminated

Brigitte Lau has just departed and that means there are no more women left in the tournament.

She got her chips in with {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} from the small blind on a {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}-flop. Het opponent was Joe Cada who made the call holding {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The {9-Clubs} on the turn was a great card for Lau who added a flush draw to her open-ended outs. The {3-Diamonds} on the river was a blank though, the pair it gave her wasn't enough to best Cada's over pair.

Her husband, Chamath Palihapitiya, was sweating her on the rail, and tweeted the following:

Chamath PalihapitiyaUnbelievably proud of my wife @blau00 for her first WSOP cash - $10k 6-handed (aka Murderer's Row). So cool that we've now both cashed @WSOP

Markin Blows Up

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Leonid Markin
Leonid Markin

Dario Sammartino opened the hijack for 11,000 and Max Silver three-bet to 29,000 from the button. Leonid Markin made the call from the big blind and action was back on Sammartino. The Italian player made it 100,000 and Silver quickly released. Markin made the call though, and they were off to the flop.

{K-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Markin checked. Sammartino bet out about 85,000, but before we could count how much it exactly was, Markin had already shoved all in. Sammartino double checked his cards and then called immediately.

Markin didn't want to show his cards; "I have nothing". Sammartino wasn't showing his cards yet either, prompting Ashton Griffin to press the two to table them anyway. Markin eventually showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for no pair and no draw. Sammartino had by far the best of it with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn was a blank and left Markin drawing dead. While he still had chips left, he left the tournament area before the {3-Diamonds} on the river was even dealt. He knew he had chips left (145,000), he just needed to blow off some steam.
