Baldwin Eliminates Straatmann

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Eric Baldwin opened to 17,000 from the hijack and was called by the button. Matthew Straatmann was in the small blind and shipped all in for 78,000. Baldwin thought for a moment and then moved all in over the top. The button quickly folded and the two hands were tabled.

Eric Baldwin: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Matthew Straatmann: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Baldwin paired his king to take the lead. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing and the {q-Hearts} bricked off for Straatmann as well, sending him to the payout desk late on Day 2.

Hartree checked again and Filatov made a bet of 52,000. Hartree continued to call and the {2-Spades} completed the board. Hartree checked for the third time and Filatov announced all in. Hartree was the one sitting on the shorter stack with around 213,000 and he thought for a minute before electing to lay his hand down.

Mercier Pushes Marquez Off

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the action was checked around to Jason Mercier on the button. Mercier threw in a bet of 22,000 and was called by Ana Marquez in the big blind. Ryan Drossel got out of the way and the {6-Spades} landed on the turn.

Marquez checked again to Mercier who also checked this time. The {k-Diamonds} peeled off on the river and Marquez checked one more time. Mercier thought for a minute before putting in a bet of 58,000.

Marquez went into the tank for a good three minutes, looking back at her cards a couple times, hoping they would somehow change for the better. Marquez eventually slid her cards face down to the middle of the table and Mercier let out a deep breath while he dragged in the pot.
