Henry Finds an Ace to Eliminate Simmons

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

Sampson Simmons opened the button to 2,500 and Jason White called in the small blind. In the big blind, Joseph Henry squeezed to 12,400. Simmons would then jam for 25,900. White tanked for a while before he folded what he later said was ace-queen. Henry would then tank for almost two minutes before he flicked in the additional 13,500 to call.

Sampson Simmons: Q♦Q♣ All in
Joseph Henry: A♥Q♠

Simmons was in good shape to double until the A♠10♠9♠ flop gave Henry top pair. As the 7♦ turn was dealt, White broke an unwritten rule as he exclaimed, "It's over, I folded a queen!" The 2♣ completed the board and Simmons was sent to the exit.

Bryan Buonocore was already all-in and at risk for his remaining 15,000 from the cutoff and had been called by Sukhpaul Dhaliwal in the big blind.

Bryan Buonocore: A♠Q♠All in
Sukhpaul Dhaliwal: K♠K♦

The 9♠8♥4♥ flop saw Dhaliwal hold and nothing changed for Buonocore on the 5♣ turn and 9♥ river.

Buonocore was left to stand from the table as Dhaliwal was pushed the pot.

Tablemates stared in disbelief as Ariel Reid and Tony Bracy were eliminated at the same time in the coolest of coolers after all the chips were in preflop.

Ariel Reid: K♦K♣All in
Tony Bracy: K♥K♠All in
David Wells: A♣A♠

The runout of 4♠Q♠Q♦4♣6♠ supplied no drama as Reid and Bracy packed up their belongings, said their goodbyes and headed for the exits.

Meanwhile, David Wells stacked the chips and thanked the dealer for his pocket aces.

Mccully Gets So Unlucky on the River

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

Action was joined with the board showing 3♠3♦5♣5♠, and Sunny So had tossed out a bet of 25,000. Joshua Mccully was deep in the tank and eventually made the call.

The river brought the J♥, and now So moved all in, and he had Mccully covered. Mccully went deeper into the tank, now running all the permutations through of what So could have, and numerous times he mentioned maybe he had flopped quads.

Mccully eventually made the call and tabled K♦5♦ only to be flabbergasted when So turned over J♣J♠ for a rivered better full house to send Mccully to the rail.

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

Jimmy Kébé didn't have many chips left, but he moved them all in from the big blind. Wenxin Huang called from the small blind.

Jimmy Kébé: Q♣J♣All in
Wenxin Huang: 6♣6♠

Neither of Kébé's overcards paired up and his hopes for a flush didn't pan out either on a runout of 8♥K♦9♣4♣3♠, so the former professional soccer player was sent to the exit.

Jacks No Good for Dillion

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

Anthony Diotte raised from middle position to 2,600, and Brian Dillion tossed out just enough to be classified as a minimum raise, meaning to just call. The floor was called, and it was deemed a minimum raise to 4,000.

Diotte then went into the tank and four-bet to 9,000. Dillion instantly moved all in, and Diotte snap called.

Brian Dillion: J♥J♦All in
Anthony Diotte: K♣K♠

No help came for Dillion on the Q♠3♥A♦3♦10♣ runout, and he was sent to the rail.

Cards where already on their backs with Aaron Thivyanathan all in for his remaining 33,000 in the cutoff and up against Jonathan Jaffe in late position.

Aaron Thivyanathan: A♠K♣All in
Jonathan Jaffe: A♥10♠

Thivyanathan was ahead, and he held on the 2♠J♥5♣ flop.

The 5♦ fell on the turn and Thivyanathan was looking good for a double up.

Things changed for Thivyanathan when the 10♣ came on the river as it gave Jaffe two pair, and Thivyanathan was sent to the rail midway through the second day of the tournament.
