Bishop Two-Outers Yonnotti

Jacob Wilson

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Yonnotti and Joseph Bishop were the only two players contesting a pot, with 32,000 in the middle. They arrived to the turn with the board reading Q♥2♥3♦A♦ and Bishop had the all in button in front of him. Covered, Yonnotti had to make a decision for his tournament life, and he ultimately landed on a call.

David Yonnotti: A♥5♥ All in
Joseph Bishop: J♥10♥

Yonnotti had top pair, the nut flush draw, and a gutshot. Bishop had an inferior flush draw, but a better gutshot. That being said, only a non-heart king would give him the knockout. "You have me, good game, man," said Bishop, making what came next all the more painful. The K♣ peeled off on the river, as "Woah!" could be heard around the table. Yonnotti left gracefully, offering a "GG" to his table.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Johan Schumacher opened from under the gun to 2,500 and Kevin Macphee called from the cutoff. Jose Guilher Valerio also called on the button and Mohsin Charania defended the big blind.

Charania and Schumacher checked the 9♥Q♠6♠ flop and Macphee bet 7,800. Valerio folded and Charania moved all in for his remaining 25,000. Macphee was the only caller and the players flipped heads-up.

Mohsin Charania: Q♥9♣ All in
Kevin Macphee: Q♣Q♦

Charania was sitting with two pair, but Macphee flopped trip queens.

There was no luck for Charania on the K♠ turn and 6♣ river, and he was eliminated from the tournament just after the second break of the day.

Greenwood Eliminated by Fares

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Laura Fryer

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Hassan Fares in the small blind who open-jammed for 142,000. Lucas Greenwood was in the big blind and took some time, before picking up a stack of chips to make the call, putting himself at risk for his remaining ~83,000.

Lucas Greenwood: Q♥Q♦ All in
Hassan Fares: K♦K♣

The A♠2♣5♥ flop didn't help Greenwood, and he stood from the table as the 10♣ came on the turn.

Greenwood was eliminated after the 7♣ river was placed, stacking up Fares.
