Vinicius Collaco Eliminated in 12th Place ($7,684); Joseph Couden Eliminated in 11th Place ($7,684)
No-Limit Hold'em:
This biggest pot of the tournament thus far has emerged a few moments ago, in the classic No-Limit Hold'em fights. The massive clash resulted in a three-way all-in and a double elimination, provided by Gregory Jamison who is now at the helm with roughly 700,000 chips in front of him.
Jamison himself started the hand with a raise to 13,000 from the hijack. Cutoff, Joseph Couden flatted and big blind Vinicius Collaco squeezed all in for just under 50,000. Jamison quickly reshoved and put Couden in agony as Jamison had him covered.
Couden stood up in disbelief and then sit/stand on his chair. Then he took a pile of his chips and placed them in the middle, causing "wows" from the spectating players at the table. The cards were turned up.
Vinicius Collaco:
Joseph Couden:
Gregory Jamison:
The flop nearly eliminated Collaco from contention but it brought a huge sweat for Couden and Jamison, who were in for a whopping side pot of about a 500,000 size.
Couden's open-ended never arrived as the turn and river both bricked, leaving Jamison's set of jacks winning.
Collaco and Couden were knocked out in the same hand for a same payout, taking $7,684 apiece. Couden started the hand with a bigger stack so he's the higher-ranked player, written down as 11th place finisher.
Meanwhile, Jamison sky-rocketed to the chip lead.
