Anthony Frederick

Soon after the redraw was done, Tony Fredrick found himself all in and at risk. John Jenkins bet the {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} turn to isolate and the cards were turned over.

Tony Fredrick: {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}
John Jenkins: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}

"I have the high hand," Frederick joked to his rail, then he added "now I don't have it anymore" as soon as the {7-Diamonds} fell on the river to improve Jenkins to a straight. That spelled the end for Frederick, who takes home $6,764 for his 27th place finish.

Lester Gone; Redraw to Three Tables

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Jason Lester, who won a bracelet back in 2006 in a $5,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event, has been eliminated from the tournament. Down to his last few chips, Lester was all in against Chad Eveslage.

Jason Lester: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Chad Eveslage: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The board came down {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Eveslage hit a full house nines over treys to oust Lester's kings. With the elimination of Lester, players will now redraw for the final three tables.

Another Runner Runner Miracle for Yoroi

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Itsuko Yoroi was all in for 22,000 and got called by Jason Lester and James Chen. The remaining two active players got it in via three bets on the {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and the cards were tabled.

Itsuko Yoroi: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}
Jason Lester: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}
James Chen: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {J-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river gave Yoroi a miracle runner runner and she tripled up while Lester was left short.

In the meanwhile, Denny Axel improved his stack by a lot with the redraw to take place after the next elimination.

Axel Sends Leah Packing; Simonelli Also Gone

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Mike Leah
Mike Leah

Mike Leah scored his first points for the 2018 WSOP Player of the Year race in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo event, but his attempt at a gold bracelet ended in 30th place.

There was three-way action between Leah, Jesse Simonelli and Denny Axel on a {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} turn. Simonelli bet all in for 16,000, Leah called, Axel put a bet on top of it and Leah called the extra 20,000 as well.

On the {7-Hearts} river, Leah's final 8,000 went in as well.

Mike Leah: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-}
Jesse Simonelli: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}
Denny Axel: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Axel was the only player with a pair to claim the high half. Both Axel and Simonelli had the nut low, ousting Leah's ace-trey. Simonelli got three-quartered, was left behind with 46,000 and lost those chips shortly after to finish in 29th.

Two Seat Open in a Row

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Jermaine Reid
Jermaine Reid

Jermaine Reid was all in out of the big blind and faced Robert Coates on the button and Tuvya Felt in the under-the-fun position. The flop showed {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Felt bet, Coates raised and Felt just called. After the {7-Clubs} turn, Felt bet and Coates called all in.

Jermaine Reid: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Tuvya Felt: {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Robert Coates: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds} on the river failed to improve the low draws and Coates scooped it all to eliminate Reid, while Felt was left with 9,000 and in the big blind next.

Julien Martini raised and James Pursley three-bet, Martini called. On the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop all two remaining active players checked and Martini's bet on the {Q-Spades} turn forced a fold from Pursley.

Martini tabled the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Felt had the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The {J-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and that felted one further player in back-to-back hands.
