Alex Quintana Eliminated

Alex Quintana
Alex Quintana
The end came for Alex Quintana as it does for so many others--by running into another player's pocket aces. Quintana moved in with {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} after a player raised and this time his opponent rolled over the bullets. The board ran out {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and Quintana shook every player at the table's hand, wishing them good luck, as his night came to an end.

Top-Top is the Nuts

"You called me with what?!"
"You called me with what?!"
Except when it's not. With 7,000 in the pot preflop, a player bet 6,000 into T6 pro Michael Guzzardi on a {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop. Guzzardi raised to 25,000, enough to put the other player all in. The other player did call all in, and the hands were opened.

Guzzardi: {k-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

The turn and river bricked out, knocking out Guzzardi's opponent and increasing Guzzardi's stack to 73,000.

March Schwartz Eliminated

Action folded around to March Schwartz in the small blind and he open-shoved all in for just under 17,000. Brian Schaedlich called from the big blind and the players showed:

Schwartz: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Schaedlich: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

The flop came {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} catapulting Schaedlich into the lead. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river the {3-Spades}. Schwartz's kings were second-best and he headed for the door.

Brian Schaedlich is now a force with just over 101,000 in chips.

Game Over for Sean Hildreth

Sean Hildreth eliminated.
Sean Hildreth eliminated.
Sean Hildreth raised preflop to 1,500 and was called by only Manuel Bevand. Both players checked the {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} flop. When the turn came {4-Clubs}, Hildreth bet 4,000. Bevand quickly raised all in, which was enough to put Hildreth all in. Hildreth made the call with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} but was behind Bevand's {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. The river added insult to injury; it came {8-Spades} to make quads for Bevand.

Hildreth was eliminated on the hand.
