Lee Markholt
Lee Markholt

Lee Markholt raised to 2,200 in the hijack and Matias Ruzzi three-bet to 7,800 on the button. In the big blind, John Monnette pitched his cards and Markholt opted to move all in for 27,500. Ruzzi called.

Lee Markholt: AK All in
Matias Ruzzi: 99

The board ran out 9JQJ3 and the nines full of jacks was good for Ruzzi while Markholt was eliminated from the tournament.

Good Bai

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

Action was joined with 16,000 in the middle, and three players had arrived at the river on a A75810 board.

The player first to act checked, as did Richard Bai in the hijack. Karim Salum then moved all in from the cutoff for 11,900.

He got over the first hurdle, with one player folding, but Bai was less trusting of the bet.

A curious Bai thought through the hand and decided to make the call.

It was probably good news as Salum stood up to leave at the same time as turning over his cards. Sure enough, he showed 76, which could not beat Bai's A3.

Gabay Holds to Bust Carreon

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

Haim Gabay raised to 2,500 in the hijack before John Carreon moved all in for 14,000 in the big blind. "You could afford it," Carreon told Gabay, who eventually called to put Carreon at risk.

John Carreon: A8 All in
Haim Gabay: AQ

Gabay had Carreon dominated, but Carreon received some hope on the K25 flop with the nut flush draw. The 4 turn was no help, while the river came the 6 and Carreon was sent to the rail.

Haikal's Stack Goes Blum

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

Donald Blum raised it up from early position and Lee Haikal stuck in a three-bet in the cutoff. The action was back on Blum who four-bet shoved all in and Haikal called off his stack of around 43,000.

Lee Haikal: QQAll in
Donald Blum: KK

The flop came K65 and Blum made a set of kings to leave Haikal drawing slim. The K on the turn improved Blum to quads and Haikal was left drawing dead to the irrelevant river.

Ladies Hold for Qu

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Gilad Rubinsky raised to 2,000 from early position only to face a three-bet from Jiyun Qu in middle position to 5,500. Maciej Gut, also in middle position, then four-bet all in for 23,100. Rubinsky folded, and Qu called.

Maciej Gut: AKAll in
Jiyun Qu: QQ

The flop came 643 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.
