Fernandez Finds One Outer to Scoop; Craig Eliminated

Stewart Morrison

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joseph Craig moved all-in from middle position for 32,000 before action got to the two players in the blinds. Small blind Jinju Wu moved all in, covering both remaining players, and Leonardo Fernandez made the call from the big blind.

Joseph Craig: A♥K♥ All in
Leonardo Fernandez: 10♠10♥ All in
Jinju Wu: A♦10♦

The flop saw Fernandez find the one remaining ten in the deck, coming 6♦10♣Q♣, to take a commanding lead.

The 8♠ turn and 8♦ river improved Fernandez to a full house and sealed the fate of Craig, who vacated his seat and headed to the payout desk.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Frank Selldorff open-shoved his remaining 54,000 from under the gun before Roger Franco re-raised to 125,000 from middle position. Joseph Gotlieb made the call on the button, and the side pots were sorted. On a flop of 9♣9♥5♦ Franco checked and Gotlieb shoved. "I guess that's why I'm glad I didn't shove," announced Franco as he mucked.

Frank Selldorff: A♠Q♣ All in
Joseph Gotlieb: 10♥10♣

The 4♥4♦ runout sent Selldorff home. Franco let the table know he folded ace-king of diamonds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joseph Gotlieb	480,000 104,000	104,000
Roger Franco	150,000 26,000	26,000

Stewart Morrison

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Leandro Dirlewanger moved all in under the gun for 24,000, and when the action folded to Joshua Moskovits in the hijack, he moved his remaining 26,000 into the middle as well. David Plastik, in the small blind, decided to get involved too, and also moved all in, covering both players with his 75,000 stack.

Joshua Moskovits: J♠J♣ All in
Leandro Dirlewanger: A♣K♦ All in
David Plastik: A♥10♣

The flop 10♠7♦5♣ kept Moskovits in the lead, but Plastik had overtaken Dirlewanger, putting him at risk of elimination.

The 2♥ turn and 5♦ river had no effect, and as Moskovits pulled in a triple up, Dirlewanger headed to the exit.
