Gabrielle Barredo

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up in a three-way all-in that involved William Murray, Brian Mckain, Bruce Novak.

Fred Goldberg and Jennifer Frankenstein, who witnessed it all, told PokerNews the action pre-flop. Mckain moved all-in for around 200,000 in early position and William Murray flat-called.

Bruce Novak in the big blind, replied with a shove all-in for 600,000 and Murray, called once again, taking all three players to the ensuing showdown.

William Murray: 4x4x All in
Bruce Novak: A♠K♠ All in
Brian Mckain : Q♥Q♣

The flop came A♥5♠7♠ pushing Novak into the lead. The runout 5♥10♦ didn't help either Murray and Mckain.

Murray quietly left the table as Novak scooped the pot for a massive boost in chips and as Goldberg claimed that Troy Donaldson, who was also at the table in the small blind, folded pocket tens.

McKain, with only 65,000 remaining, soon followed in elimination.

Fred Goldberg was lamenting his memory issues, when called out by tablemate Bruce Novak.

"You know how I know you're not that old?" Novack asked. "Who was the speaker at your high school graduation."

"I don't remember," Goldberg said.

"Well," Novack replied. "Ours was Abraham Lincoln ... before he became president."

Baribeault One Times to Suckout

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

William Baribeault moved all-in for 405,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Marco Cavallaro on the button, who called the bet. The blinds folded, and the two went off to a runout.

William Baribeault: A♠J♥ All in
Marco Cavallaro: Q♠Q♥

It was a bleak situation for Baribeault, and it seemed even bleaker on the Q♣7♣10♥ flop, but he did manage to pick up an extra out despite his opponent flopping a set.

The 6♦ turn didn't change anything, as Baribeault got up and out of his chair, announcing "one time."

To the disbelief of the table, he cracked trip queens on the K♦ river, binking the straight and surviving in the tournament. "That's so sick," said Cavallaro.

Sanchez lead out with 100,000 on the flop of 5♠2♦7♥.

Mikletic shuffled through his stacks for the preferred raised amount and settled on 250,000. Almost before his raising chips touched the felt in front him, Sanchez moved all in.

Mikletic studied the board for some time before mucking 10♦10♣. Sanchez didn't show.

"That looks like a man with aces," an observer said.

Mark Dufner opened to 45,000 from middle position, and action folded around to Michael Kinney in the big blind. He moved all in for 230,000, and Dufner thought for a bit before flicking in a call.

Michael Kinney: 3♠3♥ All in
Mark Dufner: A♥J♦

Kinney's pair was still ahead following the 5♥10♦K♣ flop, but Dufner managed to pick up some extra outs as he was drawing to Broadway. The 2♥ turn was a total brick, but the Q♣ river gave Dufner the stone cold nuts, muck to Kinney's dismay.
