Boivan Eliminates Alioto

Erick Torres

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

Piero Alioto raised before Boivan popped it to 10,000 in the next seat over. Alioto responded with a four-bet shove for 35,000 total. Boivan snap called to send them to a showdown with Alioto at risk.

Piero Alioto: A♠K♦ All in
Thomas Boivin: A♣A♥

Alioto held a premium hand, but Boivan was sitting pretty with the best starting hand in the game.

Alioto was unable to crack Boivan's aces on the 2♥4♠8♦6♣Q♣ runout to be out of contention.

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

In one of the first couple of hands back from the final break of the day, Mike Matusow kicked things off with a raise to 3,500 from under the gun. Rui Campos responded with a three-bet to 10,500 from the cutoff, before the small blind, Eric Yanovsky, cold four-bet jammed for 83,500.

Matusow quickly got out of the way, but Campos gave it some more thought. After getting confirmation of the bet amount and taking stock of his own stack, he opted to fold.

Yanovsky showed that he had J♠J♦, before Matusow and Campos both shared that they had folded ace-queen.

Stewart Morrison

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

Zhou Lin kicked the action off with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun. Justin Tran responded by putting in a three-bet from the button to 7,500. Action folded back to Lin, who made the call.

The dealer spread a 7♠7♣4♥ flop, and Lin opted to check-raise all in for 24,900, over Tran's continuation-bet of 5,000. Tran called immediately, and the cards were turned over.

Zhou Lin: K♣J♣ All in
Justin Tran: 10♠10♣

Lin picked up some extra help on the 8♣ turn, giving him a flush draw, and that was the help he needed as the river 6♣ completed his flush.
