Gera Eliminated by Dykstra
This hand occurred just as the previous level expired with the blinds at 40,000/80,000.
Nikhil Gera was down to his final chips and was forced all-in by the big blind.
William Romaine began the action with an open to 160,000 from early position. Kevin Dykstra wanted to play for it all and went all-in for approximately 1,550,000. Romaine folded to get out of the way as Gera and Dykstra went to a showdown, with Gera at risk.
Nikhil Gera: J♣10♠
Kevin Dykstra: A♥K♥
Gera needed to improve to be spared from elimination, but the flop brought little to work with when it came 6♦4♣7♣ to keep Dykstra ahead.
The turn gave Dykstra an ace, but it came with a caveat as the A♣ also gave Gera a flush draw.
Gera failed to improve on the 2♦ river, however, and he was sent out of the tournament.
