Gutierrez Left With Few Chips
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Elias Gutierrez raised from the button and Hirokazu Kobayashi three-bet from the small blind. Gutierrez then four-bet jammed for 61,500, covering Kobayashi's stack. Kobayashi made the call, putting his tournament life at risk.
Hirokazu Kobayashi: A♦9♦
Elias Gutierrez: J♣J♦
The 2♣K♠6♣ brought no trouble for Gutierrez, but the A♣ river saw Kobayashi hit one of his three direct outs. No jack came on the 6♥ river to save Gutierrez, and he headed towards the exit of the tournament area.
The tournament floor called Gutierrez back as he still had 11,000 chips left, and he retook his seat with a chance to spin up his small stack.
