Smith Holds to Eliminate Bujtas

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Laszlo Bujtas was down to just 76,000 chips and moved all in on the button. Dan Smith called from the big blind and they were off to the races.

Laszlo Bujtas: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Dan Smith: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} to give Bujtas an open-ended straight draw to go with his two over cards. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river provided no help and Smith will move on to Round 3.

Koray Aldemir limped, Mikita Badziakouski shoved for approximately 105,000, and Aldemir snap-called.

Mikita Badziakouski: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Koray Aldemir: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Badziakouski picked up a pocket pair but was well behind Aldemir's ladies. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to secure the 2021 WSOP Main Event champion's place in the next round, while Badziakouski was eliminated.

At a nearby table, Anthony Zinno found himself with all of the chips against Chris Brewer, and he will face Jonathan Jaffe in Round 3 tomorrow.

With well over 100,000 chips already in the middle on a {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board, Smith went for a 75,000 bet, roughly half of Bujtas' remaining stack.

The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} to give Imsirovic a couple more outs. However, the {9-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Clubs} on the river was not enough to overcome the set of jacks of Smith who advanced to Round 3.

The board read {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Joao Vieira led out with a bet of 40,000 into a pot of 100,000. Christoph Vogelsang called and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board. Vieira checked this time and Vogelsang shoved all in. Vieira was forced to lay his hand down, leaving himself with just 101,000 chips.

At another table next door, Joshua Heinzl raised to 13,000 on the button and Patrick Kennedy three-bet to 55,000. Heinzl called and the flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} hit the felt.

Kennedy continued with a bet of 25,000 and Heinzl stuck around to see the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. Kennedy moved all in this time and Heinzl quickly sent his cards to the muck.

Just a couple of hands later, Heinzl was seen getting up from his seat and heading for the exit as Kennedy won the match and will advance to Round 3 tomorrow.

Darren Elias: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Dylan DeStefano: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} flop vaulted DeStefano ahead, and the {10-Spades} and {7-Clubs} changed nothing to send DeStefano to the next round, while Elias was eliminated.
