Foxen Eliminates Velador

Ryan Lashmar

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading J♦9♣4♠ and about 70,000 in the middle. Players were heads up and Alex Foxen had placed a bet to put Luis Velador, who was in the tank, all in and at risk. After some consideration, Velador made the call.

Alex Foxen: A♦A♠Q♣5♦
Luis Velador: K♥10♥7♠6♣

The board ran out A♦2♥ and Foxen's set of aces was enough to secure the elimination and take down a nice pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Motoyoshi Okamura raised to 10,000 from early position and received a call from John Monnette in middle position. George Abi-Zeid raised to 40,000 from the hijack and was called by William Kopp in the button as well as both Okamura and Monnette, creating a gargantuan pot heading into the flop.

The flop came 7♠5♥7♣. Okamura and Monnette checked. Abi-Zeid bet 65,000 and Kopp made the fold. Okamura raised all in for 232,000 and was called by Monnette who had slightly less. Abi-Zeid got out of the way, leaving Okamura heads up against Monnette who was at risk.

John Monnette: J♦10♦9♥7♦
Motoyoshi Okamura: 9♦7♥6♥5♦

Monette was in bad shape against Okamura's flopped full house but still had outs to hit a higher full house on the turn or river. Those outs never materialized on the A♥Q♠ runout and Monnette was sent to the rail while Okamura scooped what was potentially the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Motoyoshi Okamura	661,000 161,000	161,000

George Abi-Zeid	350,000 85,000	85,000

Witt shoved all in and Schwartz called.

Marco Witt: K♥J♣10♥10♦
Noah Schwartz: A♦A♠J♠8♥

With both players having a significant piece of this board, the turn and river fell in the favour of Schwartz as they came the 3♦ and K♣ respectively.
