Preflop, Bretty Richey called Jim Geary’s button-raise to 6,000 from middle position. On the flop, Richey bet pot and Geary called all in for 10,500.
Geary:
Richey:
Geary was ahead with his overpair of aces but fell behind when Richey made kings up on the turn. That lead wouldn’t last long though as Geary made Broadway when the landed on the river to double him up and put a dent to Richey’s stack.
We didn't catch the hand, but discovered David Williams packing up while Mike Matusow raked in a pot. It doesn't take much deductive reasoning to conclude that Williams has been eliminated from the tournament.
Peter Ippolito raised to 2,800 in middle position and received calls from Allen Kessler (hijack), Eli Elezra (cutoff) and Andreas Krause (small blind). On the flop, it was checked to Elezra who splashed 4,600 into the pot for an all in. Krause made the call while the other two players folded.
Krause:
Elezra:
Elezra was in good shape to double up so long as he could avoid a king or a queen. Krause said, “Nice hand sir” to Elezra before the turn came the and Elezra said, “Not anymore” as Krause made a full house. Elezra was now down to the case nine to make quads and survive but the river was the and he was eliminated.
Theodore Hallenbeck came in for a raise to 3,000, and Daniel Mcnally, who was next to act, raised it up to 10,500. Heimiller peeked at his cards, then instantly shoved the rest of his 7,900 stack in there. Hallenbeck got out of the way, and the players flipped their cards up.
Mcnally:
Heimiller:
Heimiller was looking for low cards, and he wasn't too happy when the flop came out . The turn brought the , giving McNally a set but also giving Heimiller a world of outs for the low and a wheel for the scoop. Sure enough, the hit the river, and Heimiller made his wheel, to scoop the double up, boosting his stack to 20,300.
We found Theodore Hallenbeck all in and at risk against Anders Taylor on a board. The players hands were as follows.
Taylor:
Hallenbeck:
Taylor was ahead with top two against Hallenbeck’s lower two pair and flush draw for the time being. The river blanked with the and Hallenbeck was eliminated.
