Ace From Space

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John McDonald, under the gun, and hijack Naor Slobodskoy got all of their chips into the middle preflop, and Slobodsky was drawing slim.

Naor Slobodskoy: AJ All in
John McDonald: JJ

Slobodskoy badly needed an ace, and found one in the window as the dealer put out the 23A flop. McDonald knew he only had one out, and had his cards in his hands ready to muck as the board completed with 88

Katz Ousts Shrader

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cary Katz started off the action with a bet of 2,600 from under the gun and Michael Shrader raised to 6,500 from the button. Katz made the call.

An action flop developed in the form of 3910 which Katz checked. Shrader moved all in for 11,200 which Katz snap-called.

Michael Shrader: AJAll in
Cary Katz: 78

Katz flopped an open-ended straight flush draw with the higher part in his opponent's hand, leaving Shrader looking for any spade that wasn't the 6. The turn brought a 3 which was no help to Shrader.

An early exit came for Schrader as the 9 completed the board and was in good spirits leaving the tournament area.

Lin's Two Pair Good

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the river, as the board read out J1035Q. Despite there being only 11,800 chips in the pot, both Glenn Fishbein and Ren Lin found themselves all in for huge amounts, with similar stack sizes.

Fishbein had K10 tabled, but Lin's turned two pair with J5 was the winning hand. As stacks were counted out, it was revealed that Lin just about had Fishbein's 45,000 covered, and he eliminated his opponent.
