No Gold for Mr. Gold

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jamie Gold, Main Event, Suffle Up And Deal, Horseshoe Feature Table

Tracy Nguyen raised it up in early position and Jamie Gold shipped all in for just over 200,000 in the hijack. Hermilo Garzavillareal reshoved all in from the cutoff as the biggest stack at the table. The rest of the table folded including Nguyen and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Jamie Gold: AxJx
Hermilo Garzavillareal: AxKx

The flop came KxQx4x to give Garzavillareal a pair of kings but Gold picked up a straight draw. The 8x and 9x runout bricked out for Gold and he made his way to the payout desk, not quite earning the $12,000,000 that he did back in 2006.

Shiina Okamoto: 2♠2♥
David Cossio-Ruiz: A♦K♦

Okamoto had to win the flip to stay alive in the tournament but the board gave 5♥10♥3♦7♥A♣ to give a pair of aces on the river to Cossio-Ruiz and eliminate Okamoto.

Nasty Run Out Sends Botez Home

Tyler Foran

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alexandra Botez shoved in early position for her last 87,000 and Allen Chang called in the cutoff.

Alexandre Botez: K♣K♥
Allen Chang: K♦J♣

The A♠7♣5♥ flop looked promising for Botez but the 10♥ turn and Q♣ river improved Chang to Broadway.

"If you weren't all patched up, I would have folded," Chang said to Botez as she stood up from the table.

Somerville Spots an Ace in the Window

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Andrew Benedict opened to 22,000 in early position and was called by the cutoff. Jason Somerville three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind and Benedict ripped all in for 493,000. The cutoff quickly folded but Somerville asked for a count which took over two minutes. Somerville thought for an additional minute and then made the call.

Andrew Benedict: K♠K♣
Jason Somerville: A♥K♥

The dealer fanned the flop of A♠J♦8♦ with the ace in the window to give Somerville a commanding lead. The 10♥ on the turn provided some chop outs but the 8♣ on the river sent Benedict to the payout desk.

Quiambao Runs Into The Nuts

Maxime Taldir

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gabi Livshitz opened from middle position to 22,000 and was called by Cezar Quiambao in the small blind and by the big blind.

On the flop A♥K♠10♦, Livshitz bet 30,000. However this time, only Quiambao check-called to see the turn 4♥, where Livshitz fired out a second barrel of 85,000. Quiambao called once again.

The Q♣ landed on the river, and Quiambao bet 110,000. But Livshitz decided to raise all in for approximately 800,000 chips. Quiambao went into the tank and eventually called with his 400,000 chips left.

Cezar Quiambao: A♠Q♥
Gabi Livshitz: J♦10♣

"The Nuts," said Livshitz when he flipped his cards. Quiambao only had two pairs. Not enough to beat a straight, so he has been eliminated.

Mercier Felted in Rollercoaster Hand

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Poker streamer Mehdi "GitAndSos" Saeed opened to 20,000 from middle position before Jason Mercier moved all in for 146,000 from late position. Action folded back around to Saeed who, after asking for a count, made the call.

Jason Mercier: 3♠3♦
Mehdi Saeed: 7♥7♠

Mercier was in rough shape and looked set to be eliminated from the tournament. The flop came 3♣2♦J♦, however, vaulting Mercier into a commanding lead. Nothing changed on the 8♣ turn but the river came 7♦, causing a collective gasp to spread around the table as Mercier made his exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kyle Watanabe was victim of the biggest setup in No-Limit Hold'em when he was all-in on the side feature table against Renan Aziz.

Kyle Watanabe: K♥K♦
Renan Aziz: A♠A♦

The 8♠3♦2♣6♣4♣ brought no help to the dominated pair and Watanabe departed the feature stage.

In the meanwhile, the stack of Harold Harvey was reduced to four and a half big blinds.

Vemulapalli Spikes the Turn Against Nguyen

Ollie Garland

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Prasad Vemulapalli raised under the gun to 24,000. Wendy Nguyen in the cutoff three-bet and Vemulapalli responded with a four-bet jam. Nguyen called for her tournament life.

Wendy Nguyen: J♣J♠
Prasad Vemulapalli: 10♦10♣

The board ran out A♣7♦9♣10♠Q♠. Vemulapalli spiked one of his two outs on the turn to send Nguyen to the rail.

Nguyen left to collect her payout slip. In her absence, the entire table was quick to discuss between themselves what great energy she brought to the table.
