Four-Way All-In

Level 42 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Joseph Butler Eliminated in 7th Place ($77,580)

Level 43 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante
Joseph Butler
Joseph Butler

Sang Sim raised to 10,000,000 with AA and Roland Israelashvili made the call with 77. Joseph Butler put on the squeeze with an all in for 125,000,000 holding A9. Sim called and Israelashvili folded.

The flop was a dramatic one as the J78 scrolled across on a board that would have given Israelashvili a set and had Butler plenty live to win a massive pot.

The turn brought the 2 and anticipation built as the 6 completed the board and eliminated Butler. Sim cheered in victory as Butler came to terms with his exit.

Manuel Reyes went all in for 100,000,000 with A7 and Yuanzhi Cao called off with AQ.

The flop was a sweat for Reyes as it fanned out K85.

Cao's hoped were quickly dashed when the J snapped off the deck. The river came overkill with the 2 and Cao said his good games and good byes to his opponents.
