Mariani Pressures Hegedus, Angelil Busts Gilmore
There was a raise to 25,000 in early position and Julien Mariani three-bet to 66,000 on the button. Juliet Hegedus stuck in a four-bet to 200,000 in the small blind which got the original raiser to fold. However, Mariani five-bet shoved all in, potentially creating the largest pot of the tournament thus far. Hegedus mulled it over for a couple of minutes but finally decided to fold.
On the next hand, Hegedus raised to 25,000 on the button and Rene-Charles Angelil three-bet to 125,000 in the small blind. Jeffrey Gilmore four-bet shoved all in for 172,000 in the big blind which got Hegedus to fold but Angelil made the easy call.
Jeffrey Gilmore: 8♠8♥
Rene-Charles Angelil: A♠K♣
It was a coin flip and the 10♥4♠2♥ flop favored Gilmore with the pair of eights. The 6♠ on the turn was also safe but the K♥ on the river gave Angelil a pair of kings to send Gilmore packing.
