Henson Eliminated by Roberts

Level 17
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Razz

Ray Henson was left short not long ago after losing a big pot and he ultimately ended up all-in on fifth street against Christian Roberts.

Ray Henson: {a-}{9-} / {3-}{8-}{2-}{3-} / {2-}
Christian Roberts: {4-}{5-} / {6-}{j-}{q-}{9-} / {7-}

Henson had a made nine until fifth but paired his trey on sixth. Roberts thought he was drawing dead to win the pot but Henson immediately said that wasn't the case. Roberts then peeled a seven for a nine-seven and Henson also paired his deuce to end up with an inferior nine-eight.

Rapid Eliminations and Liberto on a Roll

Level 18

The field was suddenly reduced to just 36 contenders as Maria Ho mentioned how "lucky" Justin Liberto was after making a steel wheel and rolled up nines in back-to-back hands. Another table broke immediately as notables such as Alex Livingston, Adam Owen and Andrew Kelsall departed from other tables.

Woodward Eliminated by Kihara; Mizrachi Thrives

Level 18
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Omaha Hi-Lo

On a flop of {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Matthew Woodward vaulted out of his seat as he was the player at risk against Naoya Kihara.

Matthew Woodward: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Naoya Kihara: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Kihara had a ton of outs to scoop and while he missed the {q-Clubs} turn, he got there with the {k-Hearts} river.

Moments later, Kevin Gerhart was eliminated in a PLO hand against Robert Mizrachi and became the next casualty.

Bradley Ruben raised the button, Matthew Schultz three-bet the small blind and Aditya Prasetyo then four-bet in the big blind. Ruben folded and Schultz got it in for around 60,000 with the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Prasetyo was ahead with {a-}{j-} and that remained the case throughout the {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board as the kicker played for Prasetyo.

Fuchs Among the Recent Eliminations

Level 18
Carol Fuchs
Carol Fuchs

No-Limit Hold'em

Three notables were among the recent casualties as the field has already reached the final five tables.

Carol Fuchs was among them after she shoved over the top of a reraise to 52,000 by Kenny Hsiung in the small blind. It was 144,000 on top to call for Hsiung and he did so after long consideration.

Carol Fuchs: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Kenny Hsiung: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The inferior ace got there on the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board and that spelled the end for Fuchs in 32nd place. She wished Frankie O'Dell good luck but he departed shortly after in a 2-7 Triple Draw hand to bust in 30th place.
