Big Slick Can't Connect for Cajelais, Eliminated by Li

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Erik Cajelais
Erik Cajelais

Erik Cajelais opened for 7,000 from late position and action folded to Fred Li who three-bet to 25,000 from the big blind. Cajelais jammed for roughly 180,000 and was called by Li.

Erik Cajelais: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Fred Li: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It was a classic coinflip but the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop was no help for Cajelais.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and Cajelais needed to pair his ace or king on the river to stay alive.

Unfortunately, the river fell the {8-Spades} and Li eliminated Cajelais from the tournament.

Tuffel Spikes River to Stay Alive

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dave Tueffel open-jammed for 30,500 from early position and Patricia Cabrera moved all in for less from the cutoff. Both Tuffel and Cabrera were called by the big blind player.

Dave Tueffel: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Patricia Cabrera: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Tueffel was behind both his opponents and wasn't able to pair on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, but it did give him a wheel draw.

The turn fell the {10-Clubs} and Tueffel's only hope was to spike the river to stay alive.

Luckily for Teuffel, the river fell the {k-Spades} as he doubled through his opponent and eliminated Cabrera from the tournament.

Sexton Eliminates Opponent With Ladies

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mike Sexton
Mike Sexton

Mike Sexton opened with a raise from early position and the small blind player jammed for his remaining stack, Sexton called.

Mike Sexton: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Sexton was ahead with his pocket pair and the {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} rainbow flop was a great flop from him with no diamond on the board.

The turn paired the board with the {2-Hearts} and Sexton just needed to dodge an ace.

Sexton indeed dodged an ace as the river fell the {9-Spades} and he eliminated his opponent.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

David Hughes opened on the button for 12,400 and the big blind player jammed for 31,800, Hughes called.

David Hughes: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Hughes had his opponent crushed and the {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop was no help.

The {j-Diamonds} turn added some more outs for Hughe's opponent but was drawing slim headed to the river.

The {3-Hearts} river would pair the board as Hughes eliminated his opponent.
