Spano Doubles Through Karmazinas

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Robert Spano moved all in for 15,400 from the button before the decision fell on Dominykas Karmazinas in the big blind. He asked for a count then called.

Robert Spano: {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Dominykas Karmazinas: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

"That's dominated," said a dejected Spano, standing up from the table after seeing Karmazinas had the lead.

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to see spike a king on the flop securing him the pot with two pair.

Brett Trevillian

Brett Trevillian busted shortly after running his queens into aces, but decided to re-enter the tournament. Unfortunately for him, he's out again.

Trevillian said he raised under the gun holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and was called by one player before Corey Kempson three-bet. Trevillian four-bet shoved and Kempson snapped him off with {A-}{A-}. Trevillian failed to catch up so Kempson took down the pot and Trevillian hit the rail for the second time today.

After taking down the pot, Kempson moved to over 100,000 chips.
