Merola Sends Minkin to the Rail

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kelly Minkin
Kelly Minkin

Andrew Merola opened to 20,000 in early position and Kelly Minkin shoved for her last 190,000. It came back to Merola who snap-called for the following showdown:

Kelly Minkin: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Andrew Merola: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Minkin was in desperate need of a double up but got a flop {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, giving her a pair and a straight draw. The turn gave her even more outs for the flush draw with the {3-Diamonds}.

"Come on dealer!" said Merola jokingly, before the {a-Clubs} hit the river. "You had all the outs of the deck except that card!" added Merola while taking the pot.

Lybaert Over One MIllion

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

Bart Lybaert opened to 20,000 and Russell Harp made the call in the hijack.

All the chips went in the middle on the flop {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Lybaert checked to Harp who bet 40,000. Lybaert raised it to 140,000 before Harp announced all in for around 350,000, which Lybaert immediately called:

Russell Harp: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Bart Lybaert: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Lybaert had top pair and the rest of the board didn't help Harp with the {q-Spades} and the {2-Diamonds} to eliminate him from the event.

After a quick count to make sure Dufouleur did indeed have his opponent covered, he scooped the pot while his opponent headed for the payout desk.

Walter Ripper: {q-Spades}{6-Spades}

Madonia Busts Kolness

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

Tyler Kolness raised to 22,000 and was called by Philip Denomme in the hijack and Jeff Madonia in the big blind.

The flop fanned {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Madonia checked to Kolness who shoved for around 150,000 left. Denomme quickly folded but Madonia snap-called:

Tyler Kolness: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Jeff Madonia: {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Madonia had hit trips and Kolness didn't find any help on the {q-Diamonds} turn or {j-Clubs} river and was eliminated from the tournament.

Howchin Flops a Set to Double Up

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

Steven Howchin moved all in from the cutoff with 97,000 behind. He got one caller, the small blind, who had him covered.

Steven Howchin: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Howchin was behind, but that changed quickly on the {k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop. His opponent looked sick as the dealer spread the cards and the {2-Hearts} came into view. The {j-Spades} gave the opponent a gutshot to pick up a few more outs, but it proved fruitless as the {6-Spades} river was a complete brick, and Howchin's set of deuces was still best.

The board came {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, giving a set of tens to Sky's opponent, sending Sky to the payout desk.

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

Jonathan Tamayo opened to 22,000 and got called by Christoph Ritter on the button and Thomas Welch in the big blind.
