Tach Taken Out

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Farukh Tach has just been eliminated by Martin Theil and was kind enough to relate what had happened:

"I doubled him up earlier today. He opened to 500 from the button and I three-bet to 1,800. He four-bet to 11,000 and I shoved. He called with {6-}{6-} and I held {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. The flop came {a-}{6-}{5-} and his set held to double him up."

"And just now, he opened to 1,100 from the button, I three-bet to 3,600, he shoved and I called for around 16,000. I had {a-Hearts}{k-} again, now he had {7-}{7-}. The flop was {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to give me the flush draw. The turn was the {j-} to add a straight draw to my outs. The river was {3-}, brick, and game over."

Leimbach Eliminates Lalwani

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rakesh Lalwani
Rakesh Lalwani

Marco Leimbach raised to 2,200 from late position and Rakesh Lalwani shoved for 11,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Leimbach who called.

Rakesh Lalwani: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Marco Leimbach: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} with the ten in the window immediately to dash Lalwani's hopes.

The rest of the board was completed with the {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} on the river to eliminate Lalwani from Day 1E for now. The registration and reentry period is open for another two levels, so he could jump back in if he wanted to.
