Facey Busts in Massive Three-Way All In

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
April Facey
April Facey

Felipe Quijano raised pre-flop before James Kennedy shoved for around 300,000. April Facey then re-shoved, and Quijano called both players.

James Kennedy: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
April Facey: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Felipe Quijano: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Kennedy ended up with a set as the board ran out {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, cracking both of his opponent's pocket aces. He doubled up through Quijano, while Facey, who began the day second in chips, busted.

"Don't see that every day," a tablemate said.

"What a hand. That was sick," added Billy Sewell.

Joe Brandenburg: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Steve Friedlander: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Friedlander hit a set on the {q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and was poised to knock out both players when the turn came {7-Clubs}. The river brought the {j-Diamonds}, completing Zidd's straight draw to win the pot. Brandenburg's aces wound up as the third-best hand and he hit the rail.

Greenstein Shoves Dark, Doubles Up

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Barry Greenstein raised pre-flop and was called by James Wood to his immediate left. Before the dealer could reveal the flop, Greenstein shoved for his last 125,000.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Wood thought about the decision for a moment before calling with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, but was well behind Greenstein's {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Greenstein hit a set on the {a-Spades} turn. Wood was left with a gutshot straight draw but failed to hit on the {q-Hearts} river.

Jefferson Morrill was all in with a short-stack before Jeff Norman moved all in for 700,000. Angela Jordison had both players covered and called.

Jefferson Morrill: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Jeff Norman: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Angela Jordison: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

"King, king, king," Jordison pleaded as the dealer spread the {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop. Jordison got her wish on the {k-Spades} turn and was in line for a double knockout before the {q-Spades} fell on the river, improving Norman to a set.

Norman doubled up, while Morrill was eliminated.
