Action folded to the player on the button and he raised to 19,000. Andre Akkari called from the big blind.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and Akkari checked. The button bet 28,000, and after brief consideration, Akkari called.

The {K-Clubs} fell on the river and Akkari checked. The button asked Akkari how much he had left, which was 88,000, before he bet 50,000. Akkari jammed and the button called, showing {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for Broadway. Akkari flipped over {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the nut flush and took the pot to double up.

Updated Chip Counts in Brasilia

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Goindoo Busts One on the River

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ryan Goindoo raised to 16,000 from middle position and Alex Conklin called on the button. The player in the big blind moved all in for 116,000 and Goindoo moved all in over the top, clearly putting Conklin to the test for the last of his chips. Conklin folded.

The big blind was at risk with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}, well ahead of Goindoo's {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the big blind was still ahead with two jacks. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Goindoo pulled back some of the chips he put in the middle, but kept a stack out front to match his opponent's all-in bet. The river was the {a-Spades} and Goindoo pulled his bet right back, making a pair of aces to send his opponent to the rail.

Max Silver and Juicy Li were heads up on the river. The board read {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Silver checked to Li.

There was over 300,000 in the pot at this point and Li bet 203,000. Silver took about a minute and then called with {a-}{q-}, which was good against the {a-}{k-} shown by Li.

2001 Main Event Champ Carlos Mortensen Eliminated

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen came into Day 4 very short but did manage to pick up a double up. A couple hands later though, Mortensen put himself at risk again.

Mortensen moved all in with {q-Clubs}{3-Spades} and was called by a player with {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Mortensen nailed the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, making trip queens but poker is cruel and running hearts with the {5-Hearts} on the turn and {k-Hearts} on the river gave his opponent a flush and sent Mortensen to the payout desk.
