Henson Trying to Rebuild

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ray Henson was all in from the big blind with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} when we got to his table, for about 60,000. His opponent in the small blind was dominated with {j-Spades}{8-Spades} and the board ran out {10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a Henson double.

Henson said he was crippled before the break when his {q-}{q-} was cracked by the same player's {j-}{j-}.

Collopy Sent to the Rail by Radzivonau

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jim Collopy
Jim Collopy

According to Kiryl Radzivonau all the money got in preflop between him and Jim Collopy. The two were sitting with exactly the same sized stack of 354,000.

Jim Collopy: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Kiryl Radzivonau: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and that gave Radzivonau aces and fives with a king kicker, which was just enough to eliminate Collopy from the tournament.

Tom McEvoy
Tom McEvoy

Mark Zullo opened in late position to 25,000 and Joey Fabre called next to act in the hijack. With the action on 1983 WSOP Main Event Champion Tom McEvoy in the cutoff, he moved all in for 70,000.

Zullo called, as did Fabre, and when the flop landed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Zullo bet 50,000 and Fabre folded.

Zullo: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
McEvoy: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

McEvoy was at risk, but in the lead, and when the turn and river landed the {5-Clubs} and {7-Clubs}, he tripled to over 230,000 in chips.

Bryan Ngo Eliminated

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded to Bryan Ngo in the small blind and he moved all in for 54,000. The big blind snapped called turning over {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Ngo would need to improve holding {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} improving the big blind to kings and tens and Ngo was eliminated.

David Quang opened from middle position and Alexander Lynskey defended his big blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Lynskey check-called a bet of 16,000 from Quang.

Quang pushed in a bet of 77,000 and Lynskey tanked for two minutes before calling. Quang tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two pair and Lynskey was unable to beat it.

Gerrits Doubles Through Pasquale

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With already more than 100,000 in the middle, Martijn Gerrits (button) was active in a hand against Frank Pasquale, who was in the big blind. Pasquale checked the {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} turn to Gerrits, who bet 100,000.

Pasquale rose from his chair, took a good look, then announced all in. Gerrits instantly called it off for 304,000 total.

Martijn Gerrits: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Frank Pasquale: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Gerrits was ahead with his set but needed to dodge flush and straight draws from Pasquale. The {4-Clubs} on the river paired the board and Gerrits doubled up with a full house.
