Elias Hits the Rail

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The hand began with a player limping under-the-gun and action folding around to Christian Harder, who raised to 4,000 from the cutoff position. Alexander Elias three-bet to 15,000 from the button and everyone folded back around to Harder, who raised pot, which was enough to put Elias all-in. Elias called.

Elias: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Harder: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Spades}, pairing Harder's ace on the turn and sending Elias to the rail. Harder is now up to 105,000.

Farkas Eliminated

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Julie Farkas rasied to 2,600 from middle postion and was called by John Gordon. Balazs Botond re raised to 8,700 from the big blind. Farkas then moved all in for her remaining 22,800. Gordon folded and Botond called.

Botond: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Farkas: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop looked good for Farkas when it ran out {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. But the {a-Hearts} fell on the turn putting Botond ahead. No help came on the river for Farkas when the {2-Spades} hit.

Botond now sits with 73,000 in front of him.
