Casella Knocks Out Khalili

Tyler Boyer

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

Action was picked up on the turn with four players in the hand, roughly 11,000 in the pot, and the board showing 6♦5♦A♦4♥.

The small blind checked to Sohale Khalili, who bet all in for 11,300, and Michael Casella in early position made the call. Both the button and the small blind folded, leaving the players heads up, with Khalili at risk.

Sohale Khalili: A♣3♥ All in
Michael Casella: A♠Q♣

Khalili and Casella both had a pair of aces , but Khalili was behind the bigger kicker of Casella. Needing a three or deuce, the 6♥ was no help to Khalili, and he was eliminated.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was picked up with a player in for 29,100, and Brian Hastings calling to put him at risk.

All in Player: A♥Q♣ All in
Brian Hastings: 7♥7♣

It was a flip, but the all in player would need to improve to stay in the tournament. But after the board ran out 8♣5♠9♦2♦K♠ the pair of sevens for Hastings remained best, to give him the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action folded to a player on the button, who raised to 3,200. The small blind and the big blind Preston Patz made the call.

All three players checked to the turn after the 4♠Q♥8♥ flop. The turn brought the 9♥ and the small blind checked, when Patz bet out 6,000. The player on the button folded, and the small blind called.

After the 6♠ on the river, the small blind checked to Patz who again bet, this time for 22,500. The small blind wasted no time and made the call. Patz tabled K♥10♥ for a king high flush, and the small blind shook his head as he showed 7♥5♥ for a smaller flush, before tossing his cards in the muck and giving the pot to Patz.
