Delossantos Takes Out Jivkov

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Ted Jivkov was sitting with 6,400 and opened to 1,400 from the cutoff. Diego Delossantos called the small blind and Albert Shenker defended the big blind.

The 3KJ flop was checked to the K turn. The blinds checked and Jivkov flicked his remaining 5,000 chip into the middle. Delossantos called and Shenker asked "You're all in, right?" as the all-in button wasn't out.

Jivkov showed nothing behind and Shenker folded, but also showed J.

Ted Jivkov: A7All in
Diego Delossantos: 83

Jivkov was behind as Delossantos was sitting with a pair of treys to go with the pair of kings on the board.

No improvement came for Jivkov on the K river, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Sidky Not Run Out by Runout

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sergio Ochoa was waiting for a call of his all-in. Sammy Sidky just laughed, then turned over QQ and asked the dealer if he could take a picture.

The board told the story. It read: JJJJ10.

Sidky knew that with the turn bringing four jacks, that any ace or king could beat him.

Of course, Ochoa showed A10 and pulled in the pot.
