Affleck's Cowboys Send Mylonas Packing

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Matt Affleck raised to 2,500 from middle position and Dimitrios Mylonas three-bet to 5,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Affleck, who four-bet to 14,000.

Mylonas put his remaining 31,000 into the middle and Affleck called to put Mylonas at risk.

Dimitrios Mylonas: J♠J♥ All in
Matt Affleck: K♥K♣

Affleck was well ahead with his kings, and the Q♦6♥9♠6♠A♦ runout changed nothing to send the pot Affleck's way and eliminate Mylonas.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Roy Bitton opened to 1,200 from the button and Andy Tsai three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Bitton made the call.

The flop came K♦7♦8♠. Tsai bet 5,200, Bitton shoved for 35,100 and Tsai, who had Bitton slightly covered, made the call.

Roy Bitton: 6♦4♦ All in
Andy Tsai: A♦J♦

Bitton had a flush draw and a gutshot but was in bad shape against Tsai who had the nut-flush draw. Tsai made second pair on the J♥ turn leaving Bitton drawing only to a non-diamond five. The Q♥ river was a brick and Bitton was sent to the rail while Tsai collected nearly a full double up.

Elsewhere in the tournament area Upeshka De Silva was recently eliminated.
