Jawad Misses Everything

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After tangling in the previous hand, Tomoki Matsuda opened to 80,000 before Amro Jawad raised the pot from the small blind. That left around 20,000 behind, but Matuda opted just to call.

The dealer fanned out the 10♣10♠J♠ flop, where Matsuda called the rest of Jawad's chips and the hands were turned up.

Amro Jawad: A♠K♠Q♥8♦2♠ All in
Tomoki Matsuda: A♥8♣6♣4♣2♥

Despite missing the flop, Matsuda was priced in and had Jawad at risk again. The 5♥ turn changed nothing, while the 4♦ river left Matsuda as the only one to improve.

The table reacted in disbelief as they realized that Jawad was eliminated, while Matsuda added more chips to his stack.

Tomoki Matsuda	1,030,000 205,000	205,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 40,000, Jeff Madsen called in the hijack, and Matthew Beinner called in the small blind.

On the Q♣10♦5♣ flop, the action checked to Madsen who bet 152,000. Only Beinner called.

The 3♦ peeled off on the turn. Beinner decided to lead all-in for 262,000 and Madsen called.

Matthew Beinner: A♥K♣Q♦J♣5♦ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♣J♦9♠5♥2♣

Beinner was ahead with two pair but Madsen had a flush draw, straight draw, and superior low draw. Unfortunately for Madsen, the river brought the Q♠ and Beinner filled up to find the full double.

A few hands later, Madsen was eliminated.
