Guagenti Eliminated Shortly After Third Break

Level 11 : Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

2020 WSOP bracelet winner Nick Guagenti’s tournament came to an end during the opening minutes of Level 11.

Guagenti made an all-in bet with his remaining stack on a board of JJ2, but was quickly called by Lee Markholt, who tabled KJ to show he flopped trips.

Guagenti, who tabled A3, needed a lot of help in the form of runner-runner Aces or runner-runner 5 and 4 for a straight, but a 7 on the turn and a harmless 4x on the river sealed his fate.

Stinson Announces Presence Within Span of Three Hands

Level 10 : Limits 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Tom Stinson had himself a sequence within a span of three hands during the middle period of Level 10.

After winning a pot from two-time WSOP braclet winner Erick Lindgren, Stinson scored a knockout just two hands later against Eric Wasserson, who had less than 5,000 to start the hand.

On a board of 283, Stinson, who was under the gun, led out with a bet and Wasserson and another player called. The turn brought 8, and Stinson continued the action with a bet, prompting Wasserson to move all in. The player to Wasserson’s immediate left folded, and Stinson called to put Wasserson’s tournament life at risk.

Stinson tabled 55, while Wasserson showed 65 and drawing to a gut-shot straight and one of the remaining sixes in the deck.

The river, however, brought a harmless 9 to give Stinson the win and end Wasserson’s tournament.
