Dentan Goes Runner Runner Against Baumstein

Jacob Wilson

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Scott Baumstein opened the action with a raise to 245,000 from under the gun. He left just 5,000 behind. Colin Dentan then shoved from the small blind, and Baumstein flicked in his last chip.

Scott Baumstein: Q♦J♣ All in
Colin Dentan: K♠J♥

The king in the window spelled trouble for Baumstein, until the full K♥10♠9♠ revealed that he had the absolute nuts. Dentan was drawing slim, however picked up outs with the K♦ turn. The river 10♣ filled him up, and Baumstein couldn't believe how unlucky he'd got.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alex Lynskey got his last 220,000 into the middle with Jeffrey Hong trying to bust him.

Alex Lynskey: A♠2♠ All in
Jeffrey Hong;:8♥8♠

Lynskey was one of the shortest stacks in the tournament and needed an ace or some spades to get his stack back up to over ten big blinds.

The A♦8♦3♠ flop was a disaster for Lynskey as Hong flopped a set of eights. The rest of the board ran out K♣3♣ and Lynskey hit the rail.

David Sanchez: A♥9♥ All in
Robert Cowen: 5♠5♦

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Anton Lu was all in and at risk against Aaron Mermelstein on his direct left.

Anton Lu: 6♣6♥ All in
Aaron Mermelstein: A♣3♣

The 8♦K♣7♣ flop was safe for Lu, but the 8♠ turn brought Mermelstein some additional outs. The dealer flipped over the K♠ river, seeing Mermelstein make two pair with his ace. That counterfeited Lu's pair, sending his bounty to Mermelstein.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Moments after Dinesh Alt's elimination from the table, Haiyang Yang jammed for 360,000 from the small blind and Michael Acevedo called in the big blind.

Haiyang Yang: Q♣J♥ All in
Michael Acevedo: 10♦7♦

The flop was A♥2♦2♥ followed by the 3♦ turn which opened a flush draw for Acevedo. But he didn’t need a fifth diamond to win, as the 7♥ river put him in the lead to eliminate Yang.

Charles Shaverdians: K♣K♠

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

George Dolofan moved all in for his last 210,000 in the hijack, only to see David Shaw shove his larger stack in the small blind. That left Dolofan at risk, and the cards were turned up.

George Dolofan: A♥2♥ All in
David Shaw: 7♣7♦

Shaw's pocket pair held through the Q♥Q♣9♦K♠4♠ runout, sending Dolofan out while collecting the pot.
