Nikitin Eliminated by Beinner

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Matthew Beinner raised and then faced the short-stacked all-in of Anatoly Nikitin for 18,100 total. They engaged in some table chat during which Beinner said he may not have a choice.

"I can't really say anything but I would prefer if you didn't gamble," Nikitin replied. A couple seconds later, Beinner called.

Anatoly Nikitin: 7♣7♠ All in
Matthew Beinner: A♥Q♣

The A♠10♦3♠Q♠K♦ board improved Beinner who then dodged spades and sevens to knock out Nikitin.

No Luck for Nold

Laura Fryer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was followed from the J♥2♠10♣ flop with a pot of around 10,000 when Ari Pelcovitz check-called the big blind after Adrian Lopez bet 3,500 from under the gun. Derek Nold called from early position, Hitesh Patel called the cutoff and Caitlin Comeskey also called on the button.

The Q♥ turn prompted action to check around to Patel who bet 8,500. Comeskey folded, as did Pelcovitz. Lopez called, but Nold moved all in for his remaining 39,300.

Patel took some time before calling, and Lopez got out of the way as the players flipped their hands heads-up on the turn.

Derek Nold: K♥10♥ All in
Hitesh Patel: Q♠8♠

Nold was looking at a heart flush draw and a straight draw, but sitting with a pair of tens. Patel had paired up to a queen on the turn and was ahead.

No luck came for Nold on the Q♦ river, which only improved Patel and Nold was eliminated from the tournament in the first level of the day.

Adrian Lopez	69,000 12,000	12,000

Maciej Gut: A♣K♦ All in
Jiyun Qu: Q♣Q♦

The flop came 6♥4♣3♣ and was no real danger for Qu, and when the 8♦ peeled off on the turn Gut was drawing to six outs. The 10♠ on the river was not one of them and he was sent to the rail.
