Machado and Ethier Eliminated Before the Break
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Albert Ethier was all in, sitting to his opponent's Antonio Trocoli Filho's direct left.
Albert Ethier: KxJx
Antonio Trocoli Filho: A♦J♥
Filho let out a loud "yesssss" when we saw the Q♥A♥8♣ flop. Ethier wasn't saved by the 8♥ 4♣ completers, and he was eliminated with around 60 players remaining.
In the next hand on the same table, Vaughan Machado was all in and at risk from a middle position against Rena Varghese in the small blind.
Vaughan Machado: J♦9♦
Rena Varghese: A♥K♥
Varghese only improved on the 2♥K♣Q♣ flop, but it brought in the sweat of a straight draw for Machado.
Machado was eliminated after the dealer placed the 7♦ turn and Q♥ river.
