Rawtani Eliminated by Hastings

Level 7

Stud Hi-Lo

Nitesh Rawtani: 7♠2♥ / 3♦8♦Q♥J♣ / 10♣
Brian Hastings: K♠K♥ / 3♣2♦6♥Q♠ / 3♥

Nitesh Rawtani had previously lost most of his stack and was all-in for a small stack against Brian Hastings. They had already exposed the sixth street and Hastings peeled the final card first, in which he paired his trey to make two pair. Rawtani still had a shot at the low but the ten ended his run.

"Damn, I don't even know what to do now?" he asked the table and was told that the tournament offers one re-entry, so he may very well be back soon.

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

With the turn showing 10♣4♦4♥7♣, the big blind checked and Walter Treccarichi bet 2,100 from an early position. His opponent called and they checked the J♠ on the river. The big blind showed 10♥9♦ and Treccarichi chopped with the 10♦9♠, leaving the Italian below the starting stack.

Kane Kalas arrived back at the table when the hand concluded and was surprised he had been more than eight minutes late for the restart.

In four way action to the 10♥6♥6♦ flop, Scotty Nguyen and Ashly Butler checked to Robert Mizrachi who bet. Only Nguyen called and they headed to the 9♦ turn. Nguyen checked and folded to a bet.

Level 5

Limit Hold'em

Yingui Li bet a three-way flop of J♣9♥7♦ flop to earn calls from two opponents including table chip leader Ariel Mantel. On the 7♥ turn, Li bet again for both to call and then bet the 3♠ on the river. Mantel folded and the third player in the hand tank-called with the words "jack is good".

Li tabled the K♣J♠ and the jack was indeed good.
