Daniel Strelitz raised to 800 in the hijack, Grant Hinkle flatted on the button and Ron Ware and Chad Holloway came along from the blinds.

Strelitz bet 1,000 on a {6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop and only Hinkle called.

The {10-Diamonds} turn saw Strelitz checked and he folded when Hinkle made it 3,000 to go.

Strelitz' Tournament Is Over

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Daniel Strelitz
Daniel Strelitz

Daniel Strelitz became eligible to compete in the Bracelet Winners event only a month ago after topping the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $442,385. However, Strelitz' appearance in the exclusive event lasted less than three hours.

Strelitz had already dropped some chips during the opening two levels and his swan song came when he faced off against his neighbor Yue Du.

Both hands had been tabled by the time the action was picked up and the dealer rolled out the final card of the board. Strelitz ran with {a-}{q-} into Du's {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and a king on the turn cemented Du's position.

Strelitz walked away while Du improved to 170,000.

Martini Busts Nakai After Sick Runout

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Julien Martini (small blind) had 7,200 in front of him when the action was picked up. Takahiro Nakai shoved for 29,000 from middle position and Martini checked his own stack, then called.

Nakai: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Martini: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Nakai held a higher pair but Martini rivered a straight on the board of {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} river.

"Two sevens, huh?" Humberto Brenes smiled and Martini replied, "Just lucky."

Friedman Happy to Chop

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

From small blind, Perry Friedman bet 6,000 into about 9,000-pot with the action on the river reading {10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Asi Moshe was in middle position and he slid forward enough chips to put Friedman all-in. Friedman had around 60,000 and didn't like his situation.

"We're probably chopping," Moshe said, laughing.

"So you have ace-king?" Friedman suspected the worst.

Then he said, "I call," and Moshe showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to chop with Friedman's {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Niall Farrell ended up all in on the {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, holding {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, but he threw his cards away upon seeing Foster Hays turn over {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for trips.

Farrell could still hope for an ace on the river, but he wouldn't get one as the {7-Hearts} sealed his elimination.
