Eveslage Eliminated in Subsequent Hands

Jim Murray

Level 17

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

In the first of two hands leading to Chad Eveslage's elimination, Raymond Henson raised to 15,000 from middle position and Daniel James three-bet to 45,000. Eveslage then moved all-in from the big blind for 217,000 and only James called.

Daniel James: 10♠10♥10♣4♦2♦
Chad Eveslage: 5♠5♦5♣Q♣J♣

Both players started with trips and drew two, but Eveslage was unable to catch up, finishing with trip fives to James' trip tens.

Eveslage had James covered by 12,000 chips so he would commit those chips in the next hand and get called by Henson.

Chad Eveslage: A♥10♥6♥6♦2♥
Raymond Henson: K♠K♥K♦Q♦10♦

Both players again drew two cards and again, Eveslage couldn't catch up, bowing out with just a pair of sixes to Henson's trip kings.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Kyle Miholich, dressed in his Teddy KGB outfit, replete with Oreos, relayed this hand to PokerNews.

After all the dust had settled on a board of 3♦4♠K♠4♥ board, Miholic had gotten it all in, and Julio Belluscio and Benny Glaser had combined to build a million-dollar pot.

Julio Belluscio: A♣10♠3♠3♣
Benny Glaser: A♥5♥6♣2♣
Kyle Miholich: A♦K♦K♥J♥

Miholic's kings full had the high pot locked up on the turn with no qualifying low, but then a 7♦ river gave Glaser a low to chop.

Level 16

No-Limit Hold'em

Short on chips, Ryan Riess raised 35,000 of his 38,000 chips in late position and was called by Richard Bai on the button.

The flop fell 3♠2♣7♥ and Riess checked over to Bai, who put him all-in for his last 3,000, which Riess called.

Ryan Riess: A♠K♠
Richard Bai: A♦8♣

Bai would need to spike an eight, but the A♣ turn and K♣ river left Riess with two pair and the double.

Big O

Bryce Yockey called from under the gun, as did Jeremy Ausmus, but Julio Belluscio raised to 20,000 from the big blind. Ausmus folded and Yockey called.

The Q♦7♠8♥ flop was checked around. Then Yockey bet 40,000 when the turn paired with the 8♣, and Belluscio matched.

Yockey came big on the K♦ river, betting 150,000. Belluscio had reached his limit and let it go.

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

Jeff Lisandro raised to 13,000 from the small blind. From the big blind, Hye Park reraised to 35,000.

Lisandro reached back to his stack, grabbed a red stack of 100,000, placed a green 25,000 chip on top, and placed it in front of him. Park shook his head and mucked.

Level 16

Big O

The board read 4♠A♠4♥10♣ and all cards were exposed in an all-in hand between Hye Park in middle position and Travis Erdman in the big blind.

Travis Erdman: A♦K♦J♠5♥2♠
Hye Park: A♥A♣10♦9♦3♥

Park flopped aces full of fours, but Erdman could split by making a low with a 3x6x7x or 8x.

However, the 2♥ river eliminated Erdman from the tournament.
