Jesse Kandola

Martin used three time banks and called before Gabay shrugged and leaned forward. He used two time banks of his own and announced that he was all in with Martin covered.

Martin went into the tank once again and used another time bank before he ultimately got out of the way. Gabay turned over 96 for three sixes and Kandola had A10 for the top pair of tens.

The board finished up with 5 and Kandola was out of the tournament in fifth place for $165,379.

A Patient Start

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Jesse Kandola raised to 275,000 from the button and Neel Murthy called from the big blind.

The flop was AKA and both players checked to see 6 on the turn. Murthy checked again and Kandola tossed out 250,000.

That was good enough to take the early pot.

Players are feeling one another out in early action and the chip counts have not changed much.
