Ladies Spell Paccone's Demise

Joseph Berg

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Romain Locquet raised to 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Gordon Hamilton on the button. Dario Paccone then went all-in from the small blind, risking roughly 450,000. Locquet made the call, and Hamilton folded.

Dario Paccone: Q♣Q♥ All in
Romain Locquet: A♠A♣

Paccone needed help to keep his hopes alive in Event #37. Unfortunately for him, the dealer did not assist, as the 2♣7♦9♥9♦4♣ runout sent Paccone to the rail.

Myles Phago

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was folded around to Arnaud Enselme in the small blind, who made up, and Stephen Foutty checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came A♣J♠2♥ and Enselme led out for 12,000, only for Foutty to raise to 35,000. Enselme called, and the players saw the 8♣ fall on the turn.

Enselme slowed down and checked now, but Foutty bet out for 75,000. Enselme called.

The K♦ came on the river, and Enselme checked again, only for Foutty to bet 300,000, which put Enselme all in. Enselme went into the tank and eventually called and tabled 10♣2♣ for a pair of deuces but was way behind Foutty's A♦2♦ for two pair!

Stephen Foutty	1,400,000 1,330,000	1,330,000

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The defending champion Pedro Neves moved all-in for 97,000 from the button. The small blind folded, but Andrea Tropea in the big blind immediately threw a chip to call.

Pedro Neves: A♦7♦ All in
Andrea Tropea: A♣7♣

After a flop of J♣K♥7♥, Tropea found a flush draw with the 5♣ turn. The 9♠ river however didn't complete the flush, so they split the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The flop came A♠A♣10♣, Kwan checked, Zlotnikov bet 25,000, Kwan raised to 79,000, and Zlotnikov called.

On the 2♥ turn, Kwan check-called the 100,000 chip bet from Zlotnikov.

Zlotnikov repeated the same bet on the 8♦ river, Kwan folded, and Zlotnikov tabled the 5♥4♥ for five high and a healthy chip stack.

Mir Gaskari: Q♠Q♦ All in
Wenxin Huang: A♠A♥

The run out of the board: K♦J♥5♠4♦9♠

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Thanh Bui raised from middle position to 35,000 and was called by Michael Patterson who was next to act. From the cutoff, Josef Snejberg raised all-in to 260,000.

Bui called and Patterson folded.

Josef Snejberg: 10♣10♥ All in
Thanh Bui: A♥A♣

The board of K♠8♣6♥K♥2♣ could not save Snejberg, as he fell victim to the bullets.

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 6♦J♦7♥8♠ with roughly 450,000 in the pot. Last year's WSOP Ladies event Shiina Okamoto checked the turn from middle position, Laith Edris in the hijack bet 125,000 and Okamoto called.

The A♥ river was checked by Okamoto, who went deep into the tank after Edris jammed for approximately 175,000.

Okamoto eventually made the call, but immediately sent her cards into the muck when Edris flipped over A♠A♦ for a set. She was slightly covered, so she was eliminated.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mario Lopez raised to 35,000 from middle position. Alan Merdita then went all-in for roughly 140,000 from late position. The rest of the table folded before Lopez made the call, and was ahead.

Alan Merdita: A♥9♥ All in
Mario Lopez: J♠J♣

The board ran out 3♦6♥8♠6♦J♦ sending Merdita to the payout desk.
