Nick Becker

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action went three-ways to the flop of 5♣Q♣J♠ with 3,400 in the middle. Charles Furey checked in the small blind, the player in the big blind bet 1,500 and John Kostelac called in the hijack. Furey raised to 5,100, getting a fold from the big blind and a call from Kostelac.

The turn landed the 6♦ and Furey continued with a bet of 7,100. Kostelac called and the river brought the A♦.

Furey moved all in for 24,800, putting Kostelac at risk, who had 23,800 behind. Kostelac thought for a moment but eventually gave up his hand.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

William Zgorski raised from under the gun to 1,100 and was called by Brandon Mueller from the hijack. When it folded to a player in the hijack, he three-bet to 5,400. After it folded back Zgorski, he four-bet to 16,000. Mueller folded, and the small blind announced all in, which Zgorski quickly called to put him at risk.

Small Blind: A♣J♠ All in
William Zgorski: K♥K♣

The small blind ran into the kings of Zgorski and would need help to stay in the tournament. But when the board ran out 10♥9♣5♠10♠Q♦ the pocket kings of Zgorski was still best, and the small blind was eliminated.
