Bryce Daifuku and Andrew Brokos Eliminated at 726

Bryce Daifuku moved all in on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and was called by the table chip leader Paul Michaelis.

Daifuku: {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} had flopped two pair.
Michaelis: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} had flopped the wheel.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river the {10-Clubs} to bust Daifuku.

Andrew Brokos at the same table was eliminated minutes later when he shoved with king-ten and Michaelis called with ace-jack in the big blind to get Table 726 five-handed.

Andrew Brokos Back From the Brink

Three players had chips in the pot hoping to see a flop by the time it got to Andrew Brokos in the small blind who moved all in for 26,000.

The big stack at the table, Paul Michaelis, was the player who called.

Brokos: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Michaelis: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

When the dust settled, it was Brokos who had hung on with the baby pair to collect the pot, or, as Michaelis put it, “Hard to win with pocket threes on that flop.”

Russell Thomas opened the action for 2,800 and got a call from Damien Leforbes before Tom Middleton squeezed to 10,500.

Thomas wanted to know how much Middleton had behind and he told him it was about 48,000. Thomas moved all in, and a fold from Leforbes saw Middleton take one last look back at his cards before mucking as well with a chuckle.

Alan Spotts Misses His Draw As Jonathan Little Collects

Jonathan Little bet 7,100 on the turn of a board reading {10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Alan Spotts, sat to his left, called.

The river card was the {5-Clubs} and Little gave Spotts an inquisitive look before betting 23,800.

A flash of irritation came across Spotts’ face as he folded {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for a missed draw.

“That would have made you the best hand,” Little joked about Spotts having missed the royal flush before going on to say that he had {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

Spotts is still in great shape at his table, though.
