Revizada Eliminated as Outs Don’t Come

Level 6 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Ronnie Revizada entered Level 5 as a short stack, but that didn’t curb his enthusiasm.

With less than 4,000 to start a hand, Revizada, who was in late position, found himself in a hand with a player to his immediate left and Dennis Kim, who was in early position on a flop of AJ10.

Kim led out with a bet into Revizada, who raised. The player to his immediate left and Kim called. The turn produced 9, which Kim checked. Revizada then made an all-in bet with his remaining chips. The player to his immediate left called, only to face Kim’s raise, which forced a fold.

“Did you flop a straight?” Revizada asked.

“I have a set,” said Kim, who tabled 1010.

“I have outs!” Revizada exclaimed as he tabled A9.

With action to the river, Revizada needed one of the two remaining Aces to hit the board. The 9 came on the river, giving Revizada a full house and false hope.

“I hit my outs!” Revizada exclaimed.

His joy, however, quickly disappeared as he realized he held an inferior full house to Kim’s 10s full. Revizada took the beat in stride and wished the table well before exiting the event space.

Dilschneider continued with a bet which was quickly met with a call.

The turn brought the Q which prompted a quick check from Dilschneider as the player on the button put out a bet and Dilschneider check-raised, quickly getting a call from his opponent before the dealer put out the A on the river.

Dilschneider opted to lead this time and quickly got called before turning up QQ. His opponent mucked and the dealer pushed the pot towards Dilschneider as he also took down a pot in the $333 WSOP Online event.

Friesen: "They're Not Laughing Now!"

Level 7 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Trevor Friesen told PokerNews he had been "getting my *ss kicked" since he had been moved to a new table. But a series of big hands rebuilt his stack.

"They were laughing at me before... But they're not laughing now." With cashes in three previous WSOP limit hold 'em events, perhaps soon no one will be laughing at Friesen.
