Ace Not High Enough for Allen

Sava Krink
Sava Krink
Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vincent Giuliano opened from the button, but things escalated quickly in the blinds. Michael Allen shoved for around 119,000 from the small blind, only to be met with an almost instant re-shove from Gustavo De Lima in the big blind, who had him covered. Giuliano got out of the way, and the two blinds were left to battle it out.

Michael Allen: A♥3♥All in
Gustavo De Lima: A♠Q♣

It was a rough spot for Allen, dominated by De Lima’s superior ace. The board ran out 7♠9♠8♦J♠6♠, offering no help, and Allen was sent to the rail while De Lima added more chips to his growing stack.

Bullock’s Bold Bet Backfires

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With just 56,000 behind, Jason Bullock shoved all in from middle position. Kyle Lorenz, sitting in the cutoff, asked for a count and then made the call. The rest of the table got out of the way, and the cards were turned over.

Jason Bullock: Q♠J♣All in
Kyle Lorenz: K♠K♣

Bullock needed to connect in a big way to stay alive, but the 8♠7♣4♠ flop offered little hope. The 2♦ on the turn already sealed his fate. Drawing dead going into the river, Bullock could only watch as his tournament came to an end, with Lorenz’s kings holding firm.

"Ouch, that hurts," Jacob Steele said as he vaulted out of the chair moments after he was eliminated by Alejandro Rodriguez. Both players still had their cards exposed with the K♣Q♠ for Steede and the K♠3♠ for Rodriguez. They had broadway until the A♥Q♣J♠10♠ turn but the 7♠ river gave Rodriguez the winning flush.

Quads for McKellar; Sorrow for Tucci

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action picked-up three-ways to the turn with the board reading 6♠6♥4♦K♠ with around 80,000 in the middle already.

Franco Tucci from the small blind and Pierce McKellar from middle position ended up getting all of their chips into the middle as Jon Turner was the third participant from the big blind, but he folded facing an all-in and a call in front of him. Tucci was the one at risk for his final 105,000.

Franco Tucci: A♣K♥ All in
Pierce McKellar: 6♦6♣

Tucci was already drawing dead against the flopped quads of McKellar as he began to leave the tournament area. To add insult to injury, the K♦ landed on the turn to give Tucci a full house as he returned to the table to snap a picture.

"Just tell your friends it was all in on the river," joked one of the tablemates.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Albert Calderon opened to 10,000 from middle position before Jacob Fishbein jammed for 123,000 from the cutoff. In the small blind, Antonios Koukouras had a long tank before he moved all in for around 145,000, and Calderon quickly folded with Fishbein at risk.

Jacob Fishbein: 10♠10♥ All in
Antonios Koukouras: A♠K♠

It was a coinflip scenario until the A♣ appeared in the window and was followed by the Q♣J♠. The 9♠ turn gave Koukouras the nut flush draw but Fishbein was now open ended. However, the 7♠ completed the board as Koukouras made his flush as he outflipped Fishbein to send him to the exit.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Phirom Peterschmidt saw his stack reduced to fumes when Craig Sturdivant flopped a set with 4♦4♥ on a board of J♥4♣2♥6♥5♦ and was down to 22,000 only.

Those last few chips went in the middle thereafter and Ainiwaer Aierpati called.

Phirom Peterschmidt: A♣10♣ All in
Ainiwaer Aierpati: 9♦9♥

Two players at the table mentioned they had folded a nine and Peterschmidt even turned a flush draw as the dealer showed J♥6♣4♥4♣. However, the 2♥ river was of no help and that spelled the end for Peterschmidt.

Oliver Braddock opened from early position and then called a three-bet from Neil Warren, who was in the big blind.

The duo saw a flop of 10♥2♦10♣, where Warren continued for 30,000. Braddock called.

Braddock called another bet of 55,000 on the 6♣ turn and was faced with a bet of 70,000 on the 2♣ river. After thinking for a while, Braddock shoved, which gave Warren a test for the remaining 170,000 in his stack. Several minutes went by before Warren eventually made the call.

Braddock then showed J♠10♠ for a full house, and Warren's Q♥Q♦ was no good, which ended his Main Event run.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action was joined as Alexander Kostritsyn had committed his remaining stack, roughly 100,000, into the middle of the felt, and was hoping to see twice as much come back courtesy of Taylor Black.

Once the cards were exposed, though, it didn't make for good viewing for Kostritsyn, who was at risk and dominated.

Alexander Kostritsyn: A♦Q♣ All in
Taylor Black: A♣K♣

There was no reprieve for Kostritsyn, as the board ran out 8♦J♣J♥4♠2♠, requiring him to take his leave.

Josselin Gardes raised in early position, Dmitrii Perfilev three-bet to 27,000, Zilong Zhang four-bet from the small blind to 93,000, Gardes folded and Perfilev five-bet jammed for 550,000. Zhang went deep into the tank, facing a decision for his tournament life as he was covered by Perfilev, who even pulled out his phone to record. After a long pause, Zhang made the call.

Zilong Zhang: Q♦Q♣ All in
Dmitrii Perfilev: K♥K♦

The board ran out 10♠5♣10♣J♦10♥, and Zhang was eliminated.
