Bilzerian Lasts Just Two Hands in the Main Event

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dan Bilzerian came to play the Main Event but his stay was short-lived as after just two hands he was eliminated.

Located at Table #424, PokerNews went to investigate what happened during Bilzerian's two-hand stint and were informed by the table of how it all went down.

In Bilzerian's first hand, he called a three-bet from Derek Reid and triple barreled into the Scottish player who check-called on all three streets with pocket aces.

"I had aces and I just didn't think he had it, so I called. He was bluffing with ten-eight," Reid mentioned.

Jonathan Dwek then recalled the final hand where he eliminated Bilzerian.

"I raised with ace-jack, the button called, and he [Bilzerian] shoved all in for around 4,000 with queen-five from the big blind. I called and hit a flush," said Dwek.

Bilzerian didn't stick around and quickly left the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom after his elimination.

Action was joined on the river with a board showing 3♥5♦4♠9♥10♦. The pot had about 21,000. Paawan Bansal moved all in for 18,000 from middle position.

On his direct right, Victor Chong went into the tank to think it over. After over a minute, he slid forward a 25,000 chip to make the call.

Bansal showed the K♣Q♥ for king high, which Chong had beat as he tabled the 8♣8♠ to bust Bansal and add the chips to his stack.

After an open to 1,400 by the player under the gun, Shota Nakanishi in the hijack called, as did the player in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4♥9♥5♦ and the first two players to act checked to Nakanishi, who bet 1,600. The small blind was the only one to call.

Both players quickly checked the J♥ turn leading to the 10♦ river where they decided to check again. Nakanishi then revealed 8♠5♠ for a pair and scooped the pot.

The action was joined with approximately 9,000 in the middle and three players looking at a board of 3♥3♣8♣2♣.

The action checked to Arthur Morris, in early position, who bet 5,000. Stephen Graner, in the hijack, called and the player in big blind folded.

The 5♣ on the river saw Morris size up with a bet of 25,000. Graner made a frustrated call. Morris tabled 2♠2♦, having turned a full house, winning him this sizeable pot.
