Jaroslaw Jaskiewicz Eliminated by Ryan Rogers

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

There was an early position open to 550, and after a player in middle position called, Greg Koutelidakis called in the cutoff. Ryan Rogers called on the button, and Jaroslaw Jaskiewicz moved all in for 3,425 in the small blind. It folded back around to Koutelidakis, and he thought for a while and then folded. Rogers called, and Jaskiewicz was at risk.

Jaskiewicz: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Rogers: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}, giving Rogers two pair on the turn to win the hand. Jaskiewicz took his well-behaved dog that was sweating him and exited the tournament area.

Scott Roberts Holds with Aces over Kings over Queens

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

According to Scott Roberts, a little while ago, he had pocket aces and was all in against two more players. Michael Adame was the shortest stack of the three, and he had pocket queens. Jaroslaw Jaskiewicz had them both covered and had pocket kings.

The board ran out with a jack-high flop, and an ace came on the turn. Roberts had the hand locked up on the turn and eliminated Adame.

James Alexander Eliminated by Colin Lovelock

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Heads-up on a {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop with around 1,100 in the middle, Colin Lovelock bet 400 under the gun, and James Alexander raised to 1,650 in the next position. Lovelock thought for a little while and then moved all in, having Alexander covered. Alexander quickly called for his stack of around 6,000 total, and they showed down.

Lovelock: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Alexander: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Lovelock's pair of tens was ahead, but Alexander had flush and straight outs. Alexander turned a pair with the {8-Hearts}, but he bricked out on the {2-Clubs} river and was eliminated.
