Wolff Eliminated by Cardoso

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
George Wolff
George Wolff

George Wolff went all-in with a short stack in late position and Nabil Cardoso called in the small blind with his opponent covered.

George Wolff: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Nabil Cardoso: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop of {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} gave Cardoso top pair but also gave Wolff hope with a straight draw. But he couldn't get there as the board ran out {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Wolff left to register for Event #57: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.

"I've got to defend my second-place finish," Wolff said.

Matt Berkey

Matt Berkey opened in the cutoff and Asi Moshe flat-called on the button.

Berkey checked on the flop of {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and called a bet of 24,000 from Moshe. Berkey checked again on the {k-Diamonds} turn and Moshe checked back.

The river brought the {a-Clubs} and Berkey led out with a bet of 23,000. Moshe called and mucked when Berkey showed a pair of queens with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

Yunis Stacks Mackoff

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nick Yunis
Nick Yunis

Nick Yunis was seen raising all-in in a heads-up pot against Jonas Mackoff, who had already committed most of his stack on the board of {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

"I'm just taking a moment to mentally prepare," said Mackoff. "I think I have to call."

Mackoff did call as the at-risk player and Yunis showed the best hand with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes. Mackoff had a big hand as well and showed {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for two pair before leaving the tournament area.

Eshkar Busts as Turned Flush Can't Hold

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With about 70,000 in the pot and a flop of {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Eyal Eshkar moved all in for 45,000 from the big blind. Mike Watson called in the hijack, Matt Berkey folded the cutoff, and Asi Moshe called on the button.

The {5-Diamonds} turn saw Watson and Moshe check, and the {k-Diamonds} river saw Moshe fold to a 100,000 bet by Watson.

Eyal Eshkar: {x-Diamonds}{x-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Eshkar turned a flush but the fourth diamond came on the river to give Watson a nut flush and oust Eshkar.
