First hand, First Elimination!
In the very first hand of the $10,000 Mystery Bounty Event, Tony Sinishtaj opened on the button to 600. Thomas Cazayous three-bet from the small blind to 2,100. The big blind got out of the way, allowing Sinishtaj to four-bet to 7,600. Cazayous came along for the call.
On a flop of 10♦4♦2♥ Cazayous checked his action, and Sinishtaj opted for a continuation-bet of 5,000, which was swiftly called.
The turn 2♠ paired the board. Yet again, Cazayous checked and Sinishtaj sized to 15,000, and Cazayous called.
The river 9♦ completed the flush draw, and for a final time, Cazayous checked. Within two minutes of having taken his seat, he was then faced with a decision for his tournament life as Sinishtaj shoved for his remaining 32,400. After around two minutes of tanking, Cazayous touched his chips and looked over to Sinishtaj for a reaction. He didn’t get one, yet called, and was shown the bad news, as Sinishtaj’s nut flush with A♦5♦ bested his Q♣Q♠.
Zachary Grech, who had folded 10♣2♣ from under the gun, sent his “apologies to Doyle Brunson”, whose legendary hand would’ve given him the winner.
