Shin Rivers the Nuts; Cullis Busts

Tim Baker

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three players were looking at a board of 5♦8♦A♥10♠. Byungeun Shin checked from early position, Payam Ataie checked from the hijack, but Jeffrey Cullis bet 11,500 from the button. Shin called while Ataie folded.

When the K♦ appeared on the river, Shin led out for 18,000. Cullis only had around 25,000 remaining in his stack, and after doing a bit of inventory, he reluctantly called.

Shin revealed the nuts with A♦6♦ to win the pot. Cullis was eliminated a few hands later and is no longer a participant in the Main Event.

Martin Blake went all in from the big blind against Mitchell Jacko on the button.

Martin Blake: A♣K♠ All in
Mitchell Jacko: A♦A♥

The runout A♠10♠K♥4♥7♣ didn't change the initial ranking, with Jacko coming out on top with a set of aces to knock Blake off.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Justin Greenberg shoved for 15,500 from early position and Colin Phoenix made the call from the small blind to try and eliminate him.

Justin Greenberg: A♥2♦ All in
Colin Phoenix: J♦J♠

Greenberg was looking for an ace to beat the pocket jacks of Phoenix, but the Q♦5♠3♣8♦Q♠ runout didn't contain one, which meant Greenberg was out, and Phoenix added some chips to his stack.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jeremy Goldy pushed in his final 14,500 from middle position. It folded to Tom Fuchs, who wished his opponent good luck before calling.

Jeremy Goldy: 5♠5♣ All in
Tom Fuchs: 4♠4♦

Goldy was in great shape to double up, and he remained so on the 2♠K♦8♣ flop and J♣ turn. The 4♥ river saw Fuchs hit his two-outer, however, sending Goldy to a sour exit.

Touitou Shows Why Everybody Loves Jacks

Brett Slezak

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Steven Touitou opened the hijack to 4,000 before Eric Adelstein three-bet to 10,000 from the big blind. With the action back on Touitou, he announced all in as the covering stack for 112,000 effective. Adelstein had to make a decision for his tournament life, and after a minute's tank he slid his chips forward to call.

Eric Adelstein: 9♠9♦ All in
Steven Touitou: J♥J♦

Adelstein was in rough shape with his dominated pair. Nothing changed on the A♥K♦4♠ flop as Adelstein was already out of his seat by the time the 10♣ turn was dealt. The 2♦ river could not save him as he hit the rail late on Day 2.
