Gerhart Goes Out

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kevin Gerhart raised his button to 70,000 and was called by Filippos Stavrakis in the big blind. Gerhart committed the rest of his 170,000 chips on the 8♠J♦6♠ flop and was check-called by his opponent.

Kevin Gerhart: K♣Q♦J♠10♦ All in
Filippos Stavrakis: A♠5♠4♣4♦

The 2♦ turn gave Stavrakis a straight draw in addition to his flush draw, and the 4♠ river brought him a flush to beat Gerhart's top pair and eliminate him.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Felipe Ramos limped from under the gun and so did Shawn Stroke from one seat over, James Chen also limped in the small blind. Uri Reichenstein in the big blind raised to 100,000 and Stroke was the only one to follow suit as he called all-in for the last 75,000.

Shawn Stroke: A♥J♠10♣8♠ All in
Uri Reichenstein: A♠Q♦Q♥6♠

The 10♠6♣2♣10♦7♠ board improved Stroke to trips tens and he survived.

Carroll then continued for another 200,000 and Daniel folded his hand after some thinking time.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kahle Burns pushed his chips forward to the dealer after he had ended up second-best to James Carroll. Both players had hit two pair on the A♠K♥7♦ flop with Burns holding the A♥7♠6♣3♣. However, Carroll was way ahead with the A♣K♦J♠4♥ and it remained that way throughout the 5♥ turn as well as Q♦ river.

Shortly after, Vivian Saliba departed from the same table as the field plummeted below 60 hopefuls.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the 10♥4♣4♠ flop, Michael Mizrachi was all-in for 85,000 and looked up by Richard Gryko.

Michael Mizrachi: K♦K♣9♥3♣ All in
Richard Gryko: A♣J♥10♣9♣

The Q♥ turn and Q♠ river kept Mizrachi ahead as he doubled, while Gryko rolled with his eyes in frustration.

One hand later, Mizrachi raised to 50,000 but folded when Lior Abudi three-bet the pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Allan Le had raised from the cutoff and Lior Abudi called on the button. Elie Nakache then three-bet from the small blind before Le jammed all in for just shy of 1,000,000 chips.

Abudi quickly got out of the way but Nakache snap called to put Le at risk.

Allan Le: K♠K♦5♣2♣ All in
Elie Nakache: A♠A♣Q♥5♠

Le could not hit a king on the 7♣7♥3♦9♠4♣ runout, sending him to the rail late on Day 1.

On another table, Ofir Mor was eliminated by Mandy Calara, while Rick Aasen also departed in the final level of the day.

Mandy Calara was all-in for 370,000 after a flop of A♦Q♥6♥ and covered by Jose Garcia.

Mandy Calara: A♣Q♦8♣7♠ All in
Jose Garcia: A♥K♦J♦7♦

The top two pair Calara were ahead and he had nothing to fear on the 9♣ turn or 3♦ river.

Moments later, Lior Abudi headed to the payout desk and his chips were sent over to Richard Gryko.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick limped in from the cutoff and Tomer Daniel made it 125,000 to go in the big blind. Chidwick called to see the Q♠A♦A♠ flop, where Daniel put enough chips in the middle for an effective all-in bet.

Chidwick made a relatively quick fold, leaving himself with around 12 big blinds to play with.
